• Sommario/riassunto: "How can we identify popular culture that is Canadian? This book aims to explore this question in consideration of the spaces and places of Canadian popular culture to make it more thinkable for students and scholars. The collection explores Canada's place within both the national and transnational production of popular culture. The aim is to explore the role of identity (e.g., race, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender) as it significantly affects the popular culture that emerges from a variety of Canadian geographies. As an interdisciplinary collection, the chapters will speak to the artifacts, music, film, podcasts, television, comic books, social media, video games, and other media that reflect the array of culture(s) that exist under the umbrella of Canadian popular culture. The 32 chapters bring together discussions of mainstream popular culture, for example, the importance of icons such as Drake and Tegan and Sara, the place of Aboriginal identity, considerations of the popular culture ubiquity of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The book also aims to uncover the significance of whiteness, absent nationalism, and class representations in media and popular television shows, such as Schitt's Creek."--

• Sommario/riassunto: Quand, à Aix-en-Provence, en 1973, l'Assemblée Générale de Rencesvals confia le soin d'organiser le VIIe Congrès International (1976) à la section belge, celle-ci se sentit fort honorée de la confiance dont elle était l'objet. Elle savait heureusement qu'elle pourrait obtenir, dans son entreprise, le concours généreux des spécialistes de la littérature médiévale que comptent les universités du pays et qu'elle trouverait à Liège, pour les tâches les plus lourdes, une équipe de jeunes déjà expérimentée.Devant choisir un programme à proposer aux membres de l'association, elle s'arrêta d'emblée à l'histoire poétique de Charlemagne, car ce thème ne se prévalait pas seulement du prestige attaché à l'ouvrage signé par Gaston Paris dès 1865, mais évoquait aussi les origines prétendûment liégeoises de l'empereur et surtout la vitalité que sa légende a gardée dans la tradition populaire de la région, cet extrême coin nord-est de la Wallonie où précisément la Romania atteint sa limite la plus septentrionale en affirmant la vigoureuse permanence de ses dialectes jusqu'aux abords d Aix-la-Chapelle et de Tongres. Ne convenait-il d'ailleurs pas d'inscrire le nom de Charlemagne en tête du programme d'un congrès « épique » convoqué à Liège, où sa personne continue de régner superbement, en effigie, au cœur de la cité ?.
