L’article illustre plusieurs statuts de discours possibles, sur la base d’une analyse émergente des discours publiés par la presse au cours du Printemps érable. Après une discussion sur les statuts de discours relatifs aux choix méthodologiques, et un rappel des critiques adressées à l’analyse de contenu, il interroge ces statuts : Quel type de rapport est envisagé, entre le monde et les discours, selon qu’on observe les discours en termes d’intentions exprimées par les locuteurs, d’actions réalisées par le discours même, de représentations activées, des dispositifs de médiation ou encore des symboles ou idéologies relayés ? Au fil des illustrations, le discours se dématérialise autant qu’il s’ancre dans le verbal, joue des frontières du linguistique pour rencontrer d’autres sémioses, intègre des schématisations psycho-sociales, s’ouvre aux mémoires externes et collectives. Cette traversée de points-de-vues sur le statut du discours fait écho aux considérations épistémologiques sur la fécondité interdisciplinaire de l’AD.This article illustrates various possible epistemological definitions of discourse, called discourse statuses, based on an emerging analysis of discourse published in the press during the Maple Spring. After discussing discourse statuses with respect to methodological choices and calling attention to the criticism aimed at content analysis, the text questions these statuses. What type of relationship is being entertained between the world and the discourse? Answers vary according to whether this discourse is examined from the perspective of the intentions expressed by the speakers, the actions performed by the discourse itself, the representations that are activated, the devices of mediation, and the relayed symbols or ideologies. In illustrating these statuses, the discourse both dematerializes and anchors itself in words, wavers on the boundaries of linguistic features to touch upon other forms of semiosis, integrates psycho-social mapping, and becomes a vehicle for external and collective memories. This comparison of viewpoints on discourse statuses reinforces epistemological considerations regarding the interdisciplinary productiveness of discourse analysis.Este artículo ilustra varios estatus de discursos posibles, basado en un análisis emergente de aquellos publicados por la prensa durante la “primavera del arce”. Discutido el estatus de discursos relacionados con las opciones metodológicas y recordadas las críticas al análisis de contenido, el texto cuestiona dichos estatus. ¿Qué tipo de relación es considerada entre el mundo y los discursos, según si se los observa en términos de intenciones expresadas por los locutores, acciones llevadas a cabo por el discurso mismo, representaciones activadas, dispositivos de mediación o incluso, símbolos o ideologías transmitidas? Con el transcurso de las ilustraciones, el discurso se desmaterializa a medida que se arraiga en lo verbal, toca las fronteras de lo lingüístico acercándose a otras semiosis, integra esquematizaciones psicosociales, abriéndos...

IntroductionMost workers with a severe mental illness (SMI) experience brief job retention, usually under 6 months. Managing their clinical symptoms to maintain employment is a constant challenge. However, little is known about the personal initiatives these workers undertake to learn to manage their clinical symptoms at work. The study presented here documented, from an emic perspective, the self‐directed learning of work‐health balance strategies applied in the workplace.MethodsThe study was conducted with five adults with SMI employed in the competitive labour market and six support persons. Between March 2017 and May 2018, a dataset was constructed based on 21 semi‐structured interviews, eight observation sessions, and photographs taken of 15 objects used by the workers to manage their clinical symptoms. The analysis was guided by Mendez's retrospective and current temporal analysis of social processes.ResultsThe workers experienced four different self‐directed learning patterns (preparation, post‐crisis, active self‐directed learning, and identity transformation) and used five types of strategies to facilitate work‐health balance: preparation for work, reassurance, validation, assertiveness, and work–rest transitions.ConclusionThese workers with SMI, all of whom had job retention of 2 years or more in competitive employment, learned and applied work‐health balance strategies. Self‐directed learning was enhanced by customised pharmacological treatment, mindfulness activities, active listening by support persons and psychotherapy specific to the mental illness.
