Mouvances Francophones

Mouvances Francophones (MF) est une revue électronique interdisciplinaire, évaluée par des pairs, et dont l’accès est libre. La Revue accepte actuellement des propositions d’articles (en français de préférence) de la part de professionnels qui définissent la francophonie sub-saharienne (ici principalement les écrivains et critiques).

Les écrivains africains s’expriment en français pour atteindre des lecteurs nationaux et internationaux, les ex-colonisés d'Afrique et d'ailleurs, comme les nationaux des pays colonisateurs ou simplement francophones. D'un autre côté, les littératures francophones post-coloniales sont étudiées par rapport à une identité nationale, et nous nous penchons sur le cas de la littérature francophone « Sub-Saharienne ». Les écrivains francophones sont « sénégalais », « congolais », de la diaspora (le cas des Antilles par exemple), sans compter la zone géographique qu'ils habitent effectivement (Afrique, Europe, Amérique), ni l'arbitraire des frontières rectilignes nationales qui ont divisé des communautés naguère homogènes et indépendantes et qui aujourd'hui divisent certaines ethnies en « minorités » englobées avec d'autres ethnies plus fortunées en ce qu'elles sont restées regroupées. Depuis l'indépendance des colonies d'Afrique, la langue française est alors une langue officielle, que les auteurs utilisent infléchie par l'effet local d'interférences linguistiques ou développements insulaires qui diffèrent de la langue académique française, c'est-à-dire de celle des meilleurs écrivains français canoniques dans l'espace géographique et identitaire de « l'hexagone » français—incluant des écrivains africains tel Senghor.

Reprenant le concept d' « ethnicité fictive » d'Etienne Balibar, Christiane Albert estime que le modèle nationaliste européen élaboré par Herder contre « la conception littéraire universaliste française » supposait « une identité 'naturelle' entre une langue, et une nation qui s'exprimait à travers un patrimoine culturel national garant de « l'âme' d'un peuple » (2005). De ce point de vue, il reste paradoxal que la pratique de l'écriture francophone cimente une unité nationale africaine. Néanmoins, surtout en ce qui concerne le roman de mœurs, une des veine sensible des romancières des années 1980, c’est moins l’universalisme qui est visé, mais une attitude spécifique liée à une pratique ou à la forme spécifique d’interaction locale à réformer ou à repenser—et alors par exemple, la langue française permet de prendre à témoins les groupes externes comme adopter d’emblée une perspective « candide » et « moderne » sur une coutume ou une tradition inutilement blessante.

Depuis 2007, le concept de « littérature-monde » suppose un universalisme cosmopolite qui efface les distinctions entre les littératures nationales pour privilégier la communauté linguistique et abolir les frontières par le qualificatif « francophone » comme distinct de l'identité culturelle française de l'hexagone, ou du Québec, ou « belge ». Par ailleurs, le concept de « littérature migrante » multiplie les nuances et les déclinaisons de « frontières » identitaires, et doubles codes linguistiques, dans la langue française (ou hors de la langue française mais avec elle) et le rapport de la langue à la « nation » d'origine ou d'immigration. La « Littérature Tout-Monde » de Glissant suggère une interpénétration des identités sur un modèle Antillais. L'objectif de ce journal est de suivre les « mouvances » de ces concepts apparemment contradictoires de la francophonie traditionnellement désignée comme « Sub-Saharienne » ou de la diaspora africaine antillaise, et d’étudier la question du qualificatif littéraire de « francophone » à l'aide de textes définissants la « Francophonie » et les coopérations culturelles (ici principalement littéraires) qu'elle recouvre.

The International Indigenous Policy Journal

International Indigenous Policy Journal: 2013

New features developed in 2012

The year 2012 was an important one for the Journal. We introduced our new additions to our web-based activities with Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. We have continued to fine tune the website, and readers, authors, and reviewers have praised the efficient and effective system we have in place.

In 2012, we had over 25,000 full-text downloads of articles published in the Journal.

We plan to continue building on our success in 2013 and have a goal of 40,000 active, full-text downloads of IIPJ. Our readership has continued to grow over 2012. We thank you for your interest and support.

In 2012, we published three regular editions of the Journal. We also published a special edition on water and Indigenous peoples. The number of submissions to the journal has risen dramatically.

Looking ahead to 2013

We have under development a special edition on early parenting, which we will launch in February, as well we will putting out a call for papers on the burning issue of Governance of Indigenous Information in the 21st Century. More information will be posted in the next edition of the Journal.

We continue to offer authors exceptional service, including a turnaround of less than 60 days for new submissions and posting of accepted articles within very reasonable time frames.

Indigenous Research Social Networking is coming!

Of very special interest is our development of IndigiLink. This social networking site will be launched this year and it will help Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, policy-makers, community leaders, and service providers find and work with each other. This worldwide, free service will facilitate the development of research groups, teams, conferences, advice forums, and the many other joint ventures you may need. More information will be posted in our next edition.

All the best in 2013!

General Meeting and Peer Workshop: 8 February

To all Volunteer Editors:

First, thank you for your support and enthusiasm for Word Hoard’s second issue. We’re excited about the submissions we have received for our “Unrecyclable” issue, and we’re eager to share them with you. To begin the editing process, we request your presence at our General Meeting, in which we will elaborate on this issue’s time line, on your role as volunteer editor, and our rough vision for this issue. We understand that your time is precious, and we are committed to respecting that time.

Please mark your calendars for Friday 8 February 2013 at 12:30-1:30, Somerville House (SH) 3305. The General Meeting will not exceed 1 hour. Coffee and Tea will be provided by the Graduate English Society and Word Hoard.

Peer Editors:

Following our GM is our mandatory Peer Editing workshop in the same classroom. At this workshop, we will share our peer editing philosophy and the wisdom we’ve gained through our experience with the last issue. We will also compile advice from a few faculty members who have experience with journal publications. We will assign the articles for review at this meeting. Whether you’ve participated in peer editing last issue or you’re new to Word Hoard, your attendance is very important and we appreciate your dedication. Again, we respect your time; therefore, this workshop will not exceed 1 hour. So please ensure that you are free from 12:30-2:30 for our GM followed by our Peer Editing workshop.

Welcome to Word Hoard! We look forward to seeing you next Friday.

Call for Editors - Second Issue.

Dear colleagues and fellow word hoarders,

Once again, we invite you to help us continue to shape Word Hoard as a community space, a journal based at Western University and open to all Arts and Humanities scholars. Our aim is to create a lively and provocative intellectual space dedicated to the twin goals of academic excellence and community rapport. This space not only serves to disseminate the work of graduate scholars, but also provides an avenue to respond directly to one another’s creations. Following this aim, Word Hoard pursues an innovative editorial strategy, supplementing published submissions with secondary material such as interviews, introductory essays, invited responses, and other forms of reciprocal scholarship. We would love your assistance. Below and attached you’ll find our call for editors, outlining a few of the ways to be involved in Word Hoard for our second issue. We appreciate your consideration of volunteering some of your (precious) hours, whether you seek an occasional position with an easily managed workload or a more committed and influential role.

Please send brief letters of intent to wordhoard.editors@gmail.com by 25 January indicating the position in which you are interested included in your subject header. We will read them assiduously and with great delight. If you have other questions, please feel free to direct inquiries to the same email address.

Volunteer Opportunities

Peer Editors

Peer Editors at Word Hoard are expected to attend a mandatory, but brief introductory and training meeting, after which point approximately 6 to 8 hours of work will be expected from each peer editor as they read and review a small number of submitted articles (two to four) in late January and February 2013. Optimally, this position should include graduate students with a variety of interests and expertise.

Copy Editors

Copy editors at Word Hoard are expected to be familiar with our style guide (predominantly based in MLA style). They will also attend a brief workshop on copy-editing, facilitated by the Copy Editor-in-Chief in February 2013. They will devote approximately 6 hours of work to copy-editing two to three articles in March 2013.

Content Editors

Content editors at Word Hoard are authors in a hybrid style. Working as scholarly journalists, they’ll compose the original content that connects our peer-reviewed selections to our peers in articles/interviews/apparatus of their own design. Committed to an approximate workload of 20-40 hours in March and April 2013, Content Editors are the blood and tissue of Word Hoard, and will ideally represent a diverse range of respondents from across the Arts and Humanities and related fields, and will author creative responses to one or two articles per issue.

Peer Editors will work with the Managing Editor, while Copy Editors will work closely with the Copy Editor-in-Chief. Content Editors with form a dynamic and responsive community lead by one of the executive members of Word Hoard. Once per issue, we hold a general meeting where everyone involved in Word Hoard can help guide the formation of each issue.

We look forward to working with you to strengthen Word Hoard’s growing community.

Sincerely,

The editors of Word Hoard
