Aren’t you guys fed up with this whole mess? This is the question that Mickaël Bergeron throws at all men – he hopes many – having at heart the achievement of real equality between gentlemen and ladies, which according to him can only go through a deep renovation of this rickety building that is called masculinity. From the construction of superheroes to the clichés we carry around about the importance of penis size, the columnist at The gallery tracks down wherever it hides the toxicity of our conceptions of virility.

Without Mémoire d’encrier, the rostrum that black or aboriginal writers in Quebec could take advantage of would only look like too thin a cornice. In addition to welcoming a number of poets of Innu, Arab and Haitian origin, the publishing house has always been able to open its windows to major essays from all over the world, a mission that it embraces again in order to launch the festivities surrounding its 20e birthday. Published in 1997 by the important American philosopher Charles W. Mills, The racial contractwhich later became one of the reference texts of the Black Lives Matters movement, has a translation by Aly Ndiaye, alias Webster.

The beautiful idea! Écosociété inaugurates this winter Radar, a collection of essays aimed at teenagers, but which, like the music of Billie Eilish, will also appeal to adults. The always fascinating Camille Toffoli (corsair girls), who knows how to combine reporting, introspection and sociology like no other, offers in Engage in friendship to “reveal the emancipatory potential” of the friendly bond, a type of relationship certainly less valued than love with a capital a, and yet responding to a rare freedom. “Deep friendships often have something unconditional, she writes, and that’s what makes them strong. »

No, Léa Stréliski is not fired crackpot. If we trust the second degree of which is (sometimes… often!) tinged his Twitter feed, his second book will be imbued with a certain dose of irony, unless it has really turned into coach of life and that she is perfectly serious when she claims to offer “nothing less than the recipe for finding love. There is no doubt, however, that she speaks from her heart when she is sorry that this world makes us “consumers when we could be lovers”. Anyone who has ever visited a Costco with a soul mate knows how these two projects are not always compatible.
