By Shanika MacEachern, Breighlynn MacEachern. 2022
An educational and heartfelt retelling of the story of the Mi'kmaq and their traditional lands, Mi'kma'ki, for young readers, focused…
on the generational traumas of the Indian Residential School System."The story of the Mi'kmaw people is one that very few truly know, Ladybug. Even fewer understand what happened at the residential schools. It is a hard story to tell, but you must know the truth. Sit and I will tell you the story."When seven-year-old Muinji'j comes home from school one day, her Nana and Papa can tell right away that she's upset. Her teacher has been speaking about the residential schools. Unlike most of her fellow students, Muinji'j has always known about the residential schools. But what she doesn't understand is why the schools existed and why children would have died there. Nana and Papa take Muinji'j aside and tell her the whole story, from the beginning. They help her understand all of the decisions that were made for the Mi'kmaq, not with the Mi'kmaq, and how those decisions hurt her people. They tell her the story of her people before their traditional ways were made illegal, before they were separated and sent to reservations, before their words, their beliefs, and eventually, their children, were taken from them. A poignant, honest, and necessary book featuring brilliant artwork from Mi'kmaw artist Zeta Paul and words inspired by Muinji'j MacEachern's true story, Muinji'j Asks Why will inspire conversation, understanding, and allyship for readers of all ages.La voie romaine (Collection Liberté grande)

By Martin Jalbert. 2022
Il existe plusieurs formes de sorcellerie. L'une agit dans le sens de la destruction de la santé des êtres vivants…
et des milieux ; une autre, dans le sens de son amélioration. Ce livre se range résolument du côté de cette dernière. La lumière des sorcières y brille comme la lumière de vies affranchies, en porte-à-faux avec les normes hétérocis et l'ordre patriarco-colonial. Pourtant, ce n'est pas sur la figure de la sorcière que porte cet essai, mais sur une grande variété de textes littéraires en tant que contributions à une sorcellerie anti-oppressive appelée ici sorcellerie de l'émancipationQue sommes-nous ?: essais sur la condition humaine (Lettres anglo-américaines)
By Siri Hustvedt. 2022
S'élevant contre la suprématie de l'esprit sur le corps, de la raison sur l'émotion et du masculin sur le féminin,…
Siri Hustvedt prône une approche non dissociative : la signification naît dans la réalité d'un corps vivant dans le monde et interagissant avec d'autres. En explorant avec précision et élégance les mystères de l'hystérie, de l'imagination et de la mémoire, en proposant une analyse aussi sensible que pénétrante des ressorts du suicide, Siri Hustvedt nous invite à arpenter avec elle autant de zones frontières une géographie du potentiel, de la rêverie, des désirs, des attentes et des peurs, où un soi avide de reconnaissance s'entrelace sans cesse à lautreCicatrices: carnets de conversion
By Sara Danièle Bélanger-Michaud. 2022
La mère est apparue parce que tu t'es mise à exister, tout doucement d'abord, une petite perle de vie fragile…
dans une coquille de peau, puis à hauts cris, à vif, sans le redoublement de la peau. Tu existes, de toutes les façons qui sont les tiennes, et mon être mère est irrémédiable. Mais je n'écris pas ma conversion en mère, ce serait trop beau de correspondre à ce point à sa mise en scène, non, je suis mère parce que j'écris. Cest en poursuivant la cicatrice, en la traçant dans un journal de conversion que la mère existe. Il y a eu l'incision, puis toi, et la cicatrice qui en reste n'est que superficielle, elle tient très bien à la peau, mais pas au reste. C'est peut-être parce quelle ne tient pas qu'il faut constamment la tailler et la recoudre et la retailler et l'écrireEn hiver

que j'espère et crois mais qui n'est en rien garanti, tu sauras que ce n'est pas à cela que ressemble la vie, que les journées ensoleillées et pleines de rires ne sont pas la règle, même si elles existent, elles aussi. ». Deuxième volume du « Quatuor des saisons », cycle autobiographique écrit pour son nouveau-né, En hiver est une déambulation poétique à travers les mots et le monde.. La fille de Karl Ove naît au coeur de l'hiver. L'auteur contemple le monde, le voit sous un jour nouveau, celui du jeune père. Dans son style inimitable, il écrit sur tout : la lune, les animaux en peluche, les habitudes, les brosses à dents ou encore le sentiment de vivre. Nous retrouvons dans En hiver tous les ingrédients qui font la force narrative si particulière de Knausgaard : une écriture d'apparence simple qui laisse surgir des envolées d'une rare puissance..Mathematica: une aventure au coeur de nous-mêmes
