“…Tous les textes qui composent ce numéro agissent en ce sens ; la sémiotique y est mise de l'avant de manière concomitante aux diverses sutures identifiées, et toutes sont issues de problématiques inhérentes aux relations de la sémiotique aux sphères de ses diverses disciplines environnantes. C'est dans cet esprit que Bruno Laprade s'attarde à l'usage du terme queer dans les médias montréalais 24 , cherchant à déterminer l'ampleur de sa polysémie et l'origine de ses significations détournées.…”

C’est au contact de la pensée du philosophe et sémioticien belge Herman Parret que nous est venue l’idée de bâtir le présent numéro du Cygne noir autour du thème des sutures sémiotiques, reprenant à notre compte le titre et le thème de son ouvrage paru en 2006. Le concept de suture enserre la possibilité d’un effacement du discontinu, sans que ne disparaisse pour autant la différence, qui reste observable dans la ligature opérée. Deux niveaux de sutures nous ont paru devoir être envisagés. Le premier concerne la relation des choses aux mots, et des mots aux discours. La double articulation du langage symbolique nous paraît former un terreau riche pour penser les fondements suturaux des systèmes sémiotiques complexes. Le second niveau sutural envisagé est épistémologique et s’insère dans une réflexion disciplinaire.

Far Beyond the Gay Village: LGBTQ Urbanism and Generation in Montréal’s Mile End

The Life and Afterlife of Gay Neighborhoods

Research on LGBTQ neighbourhood formation in the urban West suggests that new patterns of community and identity are reshaping the queer inner-city and its geographies. As gay village districts “decline” or are “de-gayed” and new generations “dis-identify” with the urban ideals that once informed their production, LGBTQ subcultures are producing varied alternatives in other inner-city neighbourhoods. Beyond the contours of ethno-racialization and social class, generational interpretations of LGBTQ urbanism—subcultural ideals regarding the relationship between sexual and gender identity and its expression in urban space—are central to the production of such new inner-city LGBTQ subcultural sites. This chapter provides a qualitative case study Montréal’s of Mile End, an inner-city neighbourhood that, by the early 2010s, was touted as the centre of the city’s emerging queer subculture. Drawing on a sample of young-adult (22 to 30 years) LGBTQ-identified Mile Enders (n = 40), it examines generational shifts in perceptions of sexual and gender identity, queer community and neighbourhoods. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the implications of queer Mile End for theorizing the contemporary queer inner-city.

The Influence of English on Neologisms for Nonbinary Gender Identities and Sexual Orientations in Quebec French: Between Variation and Purism

This article creates a portrait of recent designations of nonbinary gender identities and sexual orientations in Quebec French. It addresses how purism and the condemnation of anglicisms played a part in this vocabulary. The most frequent neologisms in the French press in Quebec are LBGT* and queer. The Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF), Quebec’s official language institution, first condemned queer because of Quebec’s sensitive history with anglicisms and created allosexuel and altersexuel to replace it. However, these terms were found to be artificial and were not very successful, bringing the OQLF the change its initial normative judgment on queer, which is now accepted. More than the negative attitude toward anglicisms in Quebec, what played a major role in the circulation of those neologisms is the need for traditionally dominated groups to gain symbolic power by choosing their own labels, especially those used in a variety of languages worldwide, strengthening the sense of identity and belonging of historically marginalized groups and individuals.
