En plus d’offrir un portrait des productions culturelles queer au Québec tant francophones qu’anglophones, dont certaines autochtones, cet ouvrage s’attarde à révéler le caractère queer de celles qui ne le sont pas de facto. Il se présente comme un manuel de référence sur le sujet, avec des essais critiques – qui portent autant sur la littérature et le monde du spectacle que sur les arts médiatiques ou la presse gay – et des textes expérimentaux – fictions, dessins, récits autobiographiques. Plus de 27 œuvres de fiction publiées entre 1965 et 2017 y sont analysées sous différents aspects, avec des méthodologies diverses, mais toujours sous l’éclairage queer (un terme à la nature instable, paradoxale, que calque la forme éclatée de l’ouvrage). Du polyamour à l’inceste, en passant par le racisme, l’urbanité, le suicide, le non-désir d’enfant, l’alimentation ou les processus de production, le queer met en scène des personnages hétéros ou homosexuels, intersexués, cis, trans, travailleur·euse·s du sexe, gros et plusieurs autres… Cette juxtaposition d’états, de genres, de thèmes, de formes et de pratiques constitue l’une des forces de ce livre qui intéressera bien sûr un lectorat d’intellectuel·le·s et de personnes issues des communautés LGBTQIA2S+, mais pas seulement. Il deviendra, sans nul doute, une ressource indispensable pour l’enseignement de nouvelles perspectives dans le cadre des sciences humaines et sociales.

Three volunteer hosts and programmers of a feminist music show at a campus-community radio station, Anna Leventhal, Catherine McInnis, and Angela Wilson, sat down in 2008 to chat about feminist radio. They discussed the concept of a feminist music show and the possibilities and limitations of female-only spaces; the “fem-con” concept that campus-community radio stations be mandated to play a certain amount of music by women, in the same way they are mandated by the CRTC to play Canadian content; the transformative social and political potential of community radio; and the inclusion of trans and gender-nonconforming voices on the show.

Ageing and memory - two aspects of life everybody has to face eventually. The contributions to this volume explore the cultural mediations of these categories. Through a series of approaches focused on practices and acts of memory, narratives, reminiscence, representation and collective memory, they seek to better understand and critically reflect on how ageing is experienced in variegated ways across the lifespan. By covering a variety of phenomena, from biopics, music by the elderly, and artefacts, among other, they all contribute to further the understanding of memory as a cultural process always in the making - situated in particular contexts, and shaped by its material conditions of existence.

Though they no longer call themselves Top 40, popular music radio stations remain present on the dial today, complete with loud, mostly male DJs, hoping to attract a mainly female audi ence. Using the talk on two Montréal music stations, which hire mainly male announcers who select music assumed to fit wom en’s tastes, Christine Maki examines the continuing perception that women’s voices aren’t low or authoritative enough and that emotional issues prevent them from presenting difficult news stories. Her conclusion: the overall medium remains relatively unchanged over the decades, despite massive evolution in the wider media landscape.

Taking over the airwaves in a small neighbourhood in Montréal was the first step in the creation of the Temporary Autonomous Radio, a pirate station open to women and serving its community when needed. From Montréal, founder Marian van der Zon moved TAR to the West Coast, temporarily on the airways in Victoria, Nanaimo, and rural Vancouver Island. Pirate radio under five watts is usually overlooked in Canada. Beyond music festivals, TAR serves to provide information about issues not often covered in mainstream media. Most importantly, it allows women to be themselves and explore their identities through a non-gendered medium

Towards an African Art History: Art, Memory, and Resistance, is the first book to consoloidate the field of African Canadian Art History. In this book, Charmaine A. Nelson and her colleagues--a group of established and up-and-coming artists, scholars, and cultural critics--argue for an African Canadian Art History that can simultaneously examine the artistic contributions of black Canadian artists within their unique historical contexts, critique the colonial representation of black subjects by white artists, and contest the customary racial homogeneity of Canadian Art History. Challenging the traditional notions of artistic value, this groundbreaking book examines art, artists, and visual and material culture from the eighteenth century to the present, analyzing "high," "low," and popular art across various media, with a focus to offer a new perspective on Canadian Art History--an African Canadian Art History

Durant la Crise et la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, on imagine Montréal sans ressources pour la culture, Montréal ligotée, bâillonnée. C’est bien mal la connaître. Au contraire, elle s’engage alors dans une des grandes révolutions du siècle, soit celle des médias qui parlent et qui chantent. Le cinéma, la radio, le disque y recomposent l’environnement du divertissement et des arts d’une manière surprenante. Et ces nouveaux médias ne remplacent pas la presse, le concert ou le théâtre, ils s’y ajoutent, multipliant l’offre à un point qu’on n’avait encore jamais vu. Cela révolutionne la vie chez soi où, en plus du journal et du magazine, dont les tirages explosent, le piano rencontre deux nouveaux concurrents, le gramophone et le récepteur radio. Sans être riche, on peut entendre des concerts, même de musique autochtone et de grandes vedettes, chez soi, on peut « swinger » sur le jazz chez soi. On peut aussi sortir, ce que facilite un urbanisme stimulé par les nouvelles gares. Les salles de cinéma, de danse, se multiplient. C’est là qu’on se laisse emporter par le jazz ou « Tico, tico ». On se plaint chaque année que le théâtre se meurt ? Ça n’empêche pas une rencontre entre Shakespeare et Alfred Pellan. Ou d’aller entendre un transethnique prêcher l’écologie. Et aussi de s’habiller à la mode pour aller skier sur la montagne. Ce bouleversement transforme le visage de la ville, comme nous le révèlent les peintres juifs, les radioromans, ou deux œuvres majeures du temps, Two solitudes et Bonheur d’occasion. On ne verra plus jamais Montréal avec les mêmes yeux, on n’entendra plus jamais Montréal avec les mêmes oreilles. Avec des textes de Marie Beaulieu, Justin Bur, Marc H. Choko, Marie-José des Rivières, Dominic Hardy, Lorne Huston, Germain Lacasse, Laurier Lacroix, Marie-Thérèse Lefebvre, Renée Legris, Jocelyne Mathieu, Sandria P. Bouliane, Adrien Rannaud, Peggy Roquigny, Lucie Robert, Mario Robert, Denis Saint-Jacques, Chantal Savoie, Esther Trépanier et Elspeth Tulloch.

Most often associated with modern artists such as Bob Dylan, Elton John, Don McLean, Neil Diamond, and Carole King, the singer-songwriter tradition in fact has a long and complex history dating back to the medieval troubadour and earlier. This Companion explains the historical contexts, musical analyses, and theoretical frameworks of the singer-songwriter tradition. Divided into five parts, the book explores the tradition in the context of issues including authenticity, gender, queer studies, musical analysis, and performance. The contributors reveal how the tradition has been expressed around the world and throughout its history to the present day. Essential reading for enthusiasts, practitioners, students, and scholars, this book features case studies of a wide range of both well and lesser-known singer-songwriters, from Thomas d'Urfey through to Carole King and Kanye West.
