Présentation projet Magie, genre et sexualité dans la communauté néo-païenne
Je vous souhaite le bonjour,
Mon nom est Martin Lepage, je suis un étudiant candidat pour le doctorat en sciences des religions à l’Université du Québec à Montréal et je suis actuellement à la recherche de répondants qui accepteraient de participer à l’élaboration de ma thèse. À l’UQÀM, nous portons sur la religion un regard scientifique qui désire exclure les préjugés liés aux systèmes de domination et aux présupposés discriminatoires. En ce qui me concerne, je me suis consacré à l’étude des genres et de la sexualité dans le mouvement religieux néo-païen selon une approche socio-féministe afin de mieux comprendre le mouvement de l’intérieur, c’est-à-dire comment les genres et la sexualité sont vécus et construits par les païens au quotidien, en privé ou en communauté, par rapport à une identité sexuelle qui déroge d’une norme qui demeure néanmoins. Je voudrai ainsi problématiser ces perceptions liées au genre, au sexe, à la sexualité et à l’orientation sexuelle par rapport aux croyances et pratiques entourant la magie et la sorcellerie, et ce, en me basant sur des récits de vie. ]
Pour cette raison, j’en appelle de votre générosité en vous demandant de répondre à ce questionnaire si :
Vous trouverez le questionnaire à l’adresse : https://public.me.com/martinlepage26/ . Envoyez-le ou vos questions à martinlepage26@me.com. S’il-vous-plaît, répondre directement sur le document.
Veuillez noter que ce questionnaire est de nature préliminaire. Ceci implique que d’autres questions pourront venir par la suite, si nécessaire.
Merci de tout cœur et, surtout, n’hésitez pas si vous avez des questions quant à mon projet ou par rapport au questionnaire lui-même.
Presentation project Magic, gender and sexuality in the neopagan community
Hello to everyone reading this,
My name is Martin Lepage and I am a Ph.D candidate in religious sciences at UQÀM. I am currently looking for respondants willing to participate in the elaboration of my doctorat’s thesis. In our department of religious studies, we look at religion in a way that does not include prejudice against a subculture or minorities. For my part, I am interested at looking at genders and sexuality within neopaganism according to a sociofeminist approach, in order to acquire a better understanding of the neopagan movement from the inside, as to how genders and sexuality are lived and constructed by pagans in a daily fashion, alone or in group, and this, in contrast with a sexual identity that still challenges the norm. My goal is to question these perceptions that deal with gender, sex and sexual orientation in light of beliefs and pratices of magic and witchcraft, with the aid of life narratives.
Therefore, I am in need of your help and call upon your generosity by answering this questionnaire if you are :
You can find my questionnaire at https://public.me.com/martinlepage26/ . Please send it or your questions to martinlepage26@me.com. You can answer directly on the document.
Please note that this is a preliminary questionnaire. If necessary, other questions might be sent your way.
Thank you very much and don’t hesitate if you have any question regarding my project or the questionnaire itself.

“The Free Hugs Campaign is a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places. The campaign in its present form was started in 2004 by an Australian man known only by the pseudonym “Juan Mann”. The campaign became famous internationally in 2006 as the result of a music video on YouTube by the Australian band Sick Puppies.”

For the past couple of years, there’s been a pagan brunch in the West Island, for those who have difficulty making it to the more centrally located Pagan Brunch. It takes place on the second Sunday of each month, which this month falls on May 9th. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at my address below. (just replace the [at] with an @ sign.)
So here are the details:
What: West Island Pagan Brunch
When: Sunday, May 9, 2010 10:00 AM
Where: Dejeuner Inc.
3339-B, boulevard des Sources
Dollard-des-Ormeaux , QC H9B 1Z8
514-684-8000
As usual, we’ll meet up at Dejeuner Inc. on Sources Boulevard, and afterwards, weather permitting, we’ll go to the Centennial Park gazebo for some drumming out in nature.
Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend, or your kids, if you think they’ll enjoy the breakfast, chat or drumming.
We’ll likely be in the back of the restaurant again in the section behind the kitchen, so if you don’t see us, try back there. Look for a pentagram meetup sign on the table.
How to get there:
From Côte Vertu, take the 215 to Boul. des Sources and Brunswick.
(leaves at 9:43 to get there at 10:15)
From Fairview-Pointe Claire – Take the 215 or 208 to the corner of Sources and Brunswick.
The restaurant is near the gas station, in the strip mall facing Boul. des Sources.
Please remember to RSVP so that we can reserve the number of places sitting together at the restaurant. If you don’t RSVP you may be stuck eating brunch alone.
See you there.
Alex.
