By Laure Adler. 2006
[...] Les artistes de toutes les époques ont représenté des femmes en train de lire. Pourtant, il aura fallu des…
siècles avant qu'il soit accordé aux femmes de lire à leur guise. Ce qui leur incombait d'abord, c'était de broder, de prier, de s'occuper des enfants et de cuisiner. Dès l'instant où elles envisagent la lecture comme une possibilité de troquer l'étroitesse du monde domestique contre l'espace illimité de la pensée, de l'imagination, mais aussi du savoir, les femmes deviennent dangereuses. En lisant, elles s'approprient des connaissances et des expériences auxquelles la société ne les avait pas prédestinées. C'est ce chapitre captivant de l'histoire de la lecture féminine que Laure Adler et Stefan Bollmann explorent, avec un soin particulier du détail. Le fil de l'analyse conduit du Moyen Âge au temps présent, en s'attachant plus spécialement à certaines oeuvres de Rembrandt, Vermeer, mais aussi Manet, Matisse ou Hopper, jusqu'à la fameuse photographie d'Eve Arnold montrant Marilyn Monroe en train de lire Ulysse de James Joyce.

By Gabrielle Boulianne-Tremblay, Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch. 2023
A runaway bestseller in Québec, where it has captured the hearts of readers and pushed trans-identity into the mainstream conversationDandelion…
Daughter is an intimate, courageous portrait of what it's like to grow up having been assigned the wrong sex at birth. Set against the windswept countryside of the remote Charlevoix region some five hours north of Montreal, Gabrielle Boulianne-Tremblay's autobiographical novel immortalizes her early years as an alienated boy trapped in a world of small-town values and her parents' dissolving marriage, through complex adolescent years of self-discovery and first loves, to the harrowing episodes that fuel the growing realization that she must transition and give birth to her new self if she is to continue living at all. One of the first novels of its kind to appear in Québec, this inspiring story has already connected with a wide readership, and has been adopted by many schools to help expand worldviews and curriculums.Fables

By Jean-Luc Nancy. 2007
"C'est pas juste !" : combien de fois un enfant ne prononce-t-il pas - tout haut ou en silence -…
cette exclamation indignée ? Combien de fois n'a-t-il pas le sentiment de ne pas avoir la place qui lui revient ? Mais un adulte aussi trouve injuste, selon les cas, une contravention, un licenciement, une guerre, la réussite du voisin. Ce qui est juste, pensons-nous, doit l'être pour tous. Or nous pensons aussi qu'il doit y avoir ce qui est juste pour chacun, comme un vêtement bien ajusté, ou comme le droit de faire "juste ce que je veux". Y a-t-il donc deux justices ? L'une égale pour tous, l'autre différente pour chacun ? Mais chacune ne risque-t-elle pas d'être injuste à sa manière, en s'opposant à l'autre ? Qu'est-ce donc qui est juste ? Et de qui peut-on dire que "c'est un juste" ? -- 4e de couvChampagne at the murder (Thumbprint mysteries)
