Abstract: In the days that followed the Montréal Massacre at the École Polytechnique, December 6, 1989, the Canadian mass media became a discursive battleground regarding violence against women. In response to this phenomenon, I released a half-hour documentary in 1995 entitled Reframing the Montreal Massacre: A Media Interrogation. Designed as a feminist tool for media literacy, the tape deconstructs six key moments in the media coverage of the Massacre. This paper serves as an extended artist’s statement to accompany the project’s re-release on the Internet, while simultaneously exploring aesthetic and representational strategies that shape the documentary. This article is supported by several videos.Résumé : Dans les jours qui suivirent le massacre de l’École Polytechnique de Montréal, le 6 décembre 1989, la presse canadienne devint un champ de bataille discursif relativement à la violence orientée contre les femmes. En réponse à ce phénomène, j’ai réalisé en 1995 un documentaire d’une demi-heure intitulé Reframing the Montreal Massacre: A Media Interrogation. Conçu comme un outil féministe en faveur de l’information médiatique, le documentaire déconstruit six moments clés de la couverture médiatique du massacre. A l’occasion de la rediffusion du projet sur Internet, le présent article réitère dans sa continuité ma prise de position en tant qu’artiste, explorant simultanément les stratégies esthétiques et représentationnelles qui modèlent le documentaire. Plusieurs vidéos viennent compléter cet article.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the self-efficacy perceptions and writing anxiety of the Turkish language teacher candidates that receive training for learning and teaching language in a processual context. The research has been carried out with a total of 113 teacher candidates that study at the Department of Turkish Language in the first (n=56) and third (n=57) grades. The reason is that the first graders are beginner and they receive Written Expression classes; and the third graders receive Writing Education classes. The data from both grades have been collected by using the Writing Self-efficacy Perception Scale (WSPS) and the Writing Anxiety Scale (WAS) at the beginning and at the end of the term. The collected data have been analyzed both in respective class levels and by comparing to the other class level. The result of the research shows that the writing anxiety has decreased and the writing self-efficacy perception has increased in the first grader candidates. Whereas in the third grader candidates, the writing anxiety has increased and the writing self-efficacy perception has decreased. This has been interpreted as the professional awareness of the candidates increases depending on the grade level. Another result of the research is that the revision and editing (RE) factor in the writing process is higher in the female candidates than the male candidates. The findings obtained in the research bear a resemblance to the literature in some aspects, and differ from the literature in some aspects.
