There Was a Bagpiper Playing Amazing Grace, and I Broke Down Sobbing
This article explores the affective (re)production of military support at the Canada Army Run. Drawing on qualitative interviews with primarily civilian race participants and focusing on two sites of military memorialization along the racecourse, I suggest that runners’ heightened physical state while engaging with commemorative spaces may open them to emotion. As a theoretical provocation, I suggest that the racecourse’s commemorative spaces pro…
Political tools or 'supercrips'? Civilian interpretation of wounded veterans at the Canada army run
Muscularity and femininity
Extant research demonstrates that strength and muscularity are associated with masculinity while femininity is associated with frailty and small, lean physiques. Women with sport performance and/or aesthetic goals requiring muscularity often balance their pursuit of muscularity with mitigation strategies (e.g. emphasizing femininity, limiting amount of muscularity) to reduce risks associated with gender non-conformity. However, analysis of interv…
What Can the Running Body Do? The Running Machine's Affective Possibilities and the Limits of Language
While others have suggested that action sports offer avenues of escape from neoliberal imperatives like maximizing health and self-regulation, we argue that even the most mainstream of sports-amateur road running-holds similar potential. Using data from 20 "running reflections," we explore running's everyday affective intensities using Deleuzo-Guattarian theory. We conceptualize running as a machinic assemblage that shapes what the body can do in…
The Gender Agenda's Agenda
In 2023, Australia's 7NEWS Spotlight released The Gender Agenda, a documentary that purportedly, '[uncovers] the irreparable damage being visited on a generation of confused kids wrongly diagnosed as transgender.' Using critical discourse analysis and affect theory, we analyze the documentary's argumentative strategies. We conclude that in the absence of compelling factual evidence, Spotlight uses emotion to convince audiences to distrust gender …
A little taste of what it would be like to be in the military
While significant attention has been paid to the perpetuation of pro-military ideology via discourse and political practice, less attention has been paid to the role of the body in (re)producing militarism. Drawing on 40 interviews with primarily civilian Canada Army Run participants, I argue that militarism is reproduced in part via civilians' embodied performances. Performances of militarism allow participants to feel and thus reproduce militar…
PRDH and IMPQ 1800–1849 Quebec Historical Family Reconstitution. Content, Design and Biographical Completeness
Since 1966, the Programme de recherche en démographie historique (PRDH) has worked to create comprehensive genealogical data of the Quebec population. The PRDH longitudinal database, the Registre de la population du Québec ancien (RPQA), draws upon the French Catholic parish registers of the St. Lawrence Valley as its main source material. This family reconstitution covers the French Catholic population of Quebec up to 1799, along with deaths aft…
“Running makes me feel …”
Using data from twenty ‘running autobiographies’ – written or voice-recorded reflections – we examine runners’ changing emotional relationship to running during the COVID-19 pandemic. We review the complex, often fluid, and occasionally contradictory ways that leisure pursuits produce emotion, and how emotions shape subjects and communities. Mainstream conceptualisations of amateur running often frame it as a tool with which runners modulate thei…
Roleplaying as two straight bros going to a game’
While significant attention has been paid to the experiences of queer athletes and sport participants, comparatively little work has explored queer sport fans’ leisure experiences in sport stadiums. Focusing on professional men’s hockey fandom, this empirical study asks: what are the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and two-spirit (LGBTQ2S+) spectators at National Hockey League games in Canada? Interviews with 24 diversely ide…
Validation de l’âge des personnes à la longévité exceptionnelle
S’il ne fait aucun doute que la longévité a connu une augmentation spectaculaire au cours des siècles passés, il n’en reste pas moins que les affirmations concernant l’âge extrême, en particulier avant 1900, doivent être abordées avec une bonne dose de scepticisme. La plupart des cas rapportés de longévité exceptionnelle dans un passé lointain sont en fait incorrects et l’histoire de la longévité est donc en réalité une histoire de mythes. Et con…
Mobilising gender equality
After an exciting bidding process featuring competing submissions from Brazil, Colombia and Japan, Australia and New Zealand were chosen to co-host the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023TM. Using feminist discourse analysis to examine the narrative strategies employed by the bidding nations, this article demonstrates that bidding nations discursively mobilised themes of gender equality to position their bids favourably. They did so by asserting themselv…
Running (for) the Military
In September 2019, 19,000 amateur runners participated in the Canada Army Run, a road race hosted by the Canadian Forces (CF). This ethnographic study explores the event as a site of socialization, demonstrating that the Army Run: (a) focuses on promoting the CF rather than maximizing race results, (b) promotes the CF by exceptionalizing its members, and (c) is a celebratory site of promilitary socialization and recruitment that precludes critica…

La durée de vie la plus commune des adultes au XVIII e siècle
Au cours des dix dernières années, l'âge modal au décès a pris une place prépondérante au sein des études sur la longévité humaine, notamment parce qu'il renseigne sur la durée de vie la plus commune des adultes, sans être influencé par les conditions de mortalité aux jeunes âges. On connait peu le niveau et l'évolution de l'âge modal au décès des adultes dans les populations du passé. Le Registre de la population du Québec ancien constitue une s…

The Family Name as Socio-Cultural Feature and Genetic Metaphor
A recent workshop entitled "The Family Name as Socio-Cultural Feature and Genetic Metaphor: From Concepts to Methods" was held in Paris in December 2010, sponsored by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and by the journal Human Biology. This workshop was intended to foster a debate on questions related to the family names and to compare different multidisciplinary approaches involving geneticists, historians, geographers, so…
Is there a trade‐off between fertility and longevity? A comparative study of women from three large historical databases accounting for mortality selection
Frontier populations provide exceptional opportunities to test the hypothesis of a trade‐off between fertility and longevity. In such populations, mechanisms favoring reproduction usually find fertile ground, and if these mechanisms reduce longevity, demographers should observe higher postreproductive mortality among highly fertile women. We test this hypothesis using complete female reproductive histories from three large demographic databases: …
Mother’s Death and Child Survival
The aim of this paper is to account for the effect of mother's death on child survival in a historical population. Using comprehensive data on the early French Canadian population of Quebec, evidence is provided for a higher risk of dying for motherless children that remains significant over all childhood and long after the death of the mother. The specific effect of the loss of maternal care was estimated by comparing mortality before and after …
Le seuil de la vieillesse
La population de la planète est présentement en train de connaître un vieillissement dont nous dressons le bilan en le situant dans sa perspective historique. Deux réalités s'en dégagent: celle des pays développés, qui comptent déjà une forte proportion de leur population aux âges élevés et qui continueront à vieillir, et celle des pays moins-développés, encore "jeunes", qui amorcent cependant, avec un décalage, un processus similaire. Cette visi…

From france to new france
The history of family names is directly linked to the history of populations. In the French-Canadian case, this history has two main features: a small number of founding members of a population, and a rapid increase due to a high reproduction rate, without any significant new influx of immigrants. Other factors intervened in the success of certain names: differential reproduction rates between regions, how early the name was established; and the …

Les familles des premiers créoles canadiens, XVII-XVIIIe siècles
Les Créoles canadiens, au nombre de 20 000 environ, sont les individus nés sur le sol du Canada au XVIIe siècle et issus, en majorité, des pionniers venus de France. L'étude repose sur une observation longitudinale de la vie des couples formés par ces créoles, et constitue une relecture de la fiche de famille traditionnelle dans une perspective nouvelle. Grâce à la souplesse de l'informatique, il a été possible de mesurer, à tout instant, le déro…

Effect of family rupture and recomposition on the children of New France
Using the biographies of nearly 10,000 children born in New France during the seventeenth century, this study looks at the phenomenon of single parenthood from the children's point of view. Since separation and divorce were uncommon during this period, marital disruptions only occurred through the death of one of the partners. In New France, half of all children witnessed the disruption of their parents' marriage before having reached emancipatio…

Effects of Reproductive Behaviour on Infant Mortality of French-Canadians During the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
In this paper the effects of mother's age, birth order, sibship size breastfeeding habits of the mother and length of previous birth interval on infant mortality among the French-Canadian population during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are considered. A U-shaped effect of mother's age and a J-shaped effect of birth order are observed. The relation with birth order is shown to hold, even after controlling for sibship size. Study of the …
Bias in Age at Marriage in Family Reconstitutions
Age-at-marriage estimates from family reconstitutions may be biased downward when they are based only on marriages of people who continue to live in their parish of birth, because when the probability of migrating rises with age, younger people are selected in preference to older ones. Micro-simulations show that the bias can have dramatic effects. In this paper French-Canadian data are used to investigate the importance of the bias and to verify…

La mortalité aux âges avancés des immigrants fondateurs de la Nouvelle-France
The University's Research Programme in Demographic History selected, among all the emigrants who crossed the Atlantic to Canada, 3 370 individuals who, having settled with their families in the early days of the coiony, may be considered as the founders of New-France. Although such a procedure is not valid for studying overall adult mortality, it was, in this context, justifiable to study the old-age mortality of these founders by selecting a sub…

Recent Advances in Computerized Population Registers
This paper focuses on the present methodology of computerized population registers and on the possible next generation of such systems. For these registers to survive their founders and serve multiple purposes they must be designed as evolving (as opposed to static) entities; the central element of such an approach would be a dynamic updating facility. In our view this poses a major challenge to both demographers and computer scientists. The pape…
Vivre cent ans dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent avant 1800
Was it possible to die a centenarian during the XVIIIth century ? In a population as small as was French Canada's at the time, a sure centenarian has yet to be found. The probability of reaching 100 years of existence was not null, but it was certainly much lower than the one age declarations in parish registers would lead to believe. Thanks to the reconstitution of the Quebec population of the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries, it has been possible t…

Intervals between marriage and first birth in mothers and daughters
Marriage-first birth intervals are examined in two historical populations, Quebec (1608–1765) and Haut-Jura (1689–1980), comparing intervals in mothers and daughters, and in sister-sister pairs. The results point to a weak relationship between intervals of mothers and daughters, though it does not attain significance. Shared environment does not seem to be responsible since there is no association between pairs of sisters from the same population…

Age of mother at last birth in two historical populations
This study uses sets of historical family reconstitutions from all of Quebec and from four villages of the Haut-Jura, France—first marriages of 2226 and 994 women, respectively—to investigate the physiological and social factors affecting age of mother at last birth before and during fertility transition. Age remained high throughout the period covered in Quebec, under ‘natural’ conditions, but showed a steady decline in the French material which…
