Book Description
This collection of essays focuses on Canadian history and its legacies as represented in novels and films in English and French, produced in Canada mainly in the 1980s and 1990s. The approach is both cross-cultural and interdisciplinary, aiming at articulating Canadian differences through a comparison of anglophone and francophone cultures, illustrated by works treating some of the different groups which make up Canadian society – English-Canadian, Québecois, Acadian, Native, and ethnic minorities. The emphasis is on the problematic representation of Canadianness, which is closely bound up with constructions of history and its legacies – dispossession, criminality, nomadism, Gothicism, the Maritime. The English/French language difference is emblematic of Canadian difference; the two-part arrangement, with one section on Literature and the other on Film, sets up the pattern of relationships between the two forms of cultural representation that these essays explore. Essays in the Literature section are on single texts by such writers as: Margaret Atwood, Tomson Highway, Ann-Marie MacDonald, Anne Michaels, and Alice Munro; Gabrielle Roy, Anne Hébert, Antonine Maillet, Bernard Assiniwi, and Régine Robin. The Film section with its mirror structure both supplements and amplifies this dialogue, extending notions of Canadianness with its emphasis on voices from Quebec and Acadia traditionally ‘othered’ in Canadian history. Filmmakers treated include: Phillip Borsos, Atom Egoyan, Ted Kotcheff, Mort Ransen, and Vincent Ward; Denys Arcand, Gilles Carle, Alanis Obomsawin, Léa Pool, and Jacques Savoie.

Book Description
Le monde change et avec lui nos manières de penser le droit. Comment comprendre les transformations juridiques contemporaines ? Quel sens leur donner à l'âge de la globalisation ? Comment aborder le droit comme un révélateur de nos manières de vivre ensemble autant que comme l'un des outils de leur mise en forme ? Ces questions centrales à la démarche anthropologique d'Etienne Le Roy, l'un des bâtisseurs de l'anthropologie du droit française, sont éclairées dans cet ouvrage à travers des études enracinées sur les cinq continents et privilégiant la dimension anthropologique du droit. Les auteurs abordent les défis qui se présentent à un droit de plus en plus inscrit entre global et local et s'interrogent sur les métamorphoses contemporaines de l'Etat et de la Justice. Loin d'une anthropologie " exotique " ce sont les enjeux contemporains des restructurations juridiques, politiques et économiques dans la rencontre des cultures qui sont abordés. Les questionnements théoriques ainsi que les études de terrain inscrites dans les champs de recherche privilégiés de l'anthropologie du droit tels que le foncier et la gestion des ressources naturelles, la médiation et les modes alternatifs de règlement des conflits reflètent les évolutions les plus récentes dans le domaine et offrent un panorama des recherches et enjeux dans le champ de l'anthropologie du droit. Ces analyses qui partagent toutes la vision d'Etienne Le Roy selon lequel " le droit est moins ce qu'en disent les textes que ce qu'en font les acteurs " contribuent à mieux comprendre le monde dans lequel nous vivons et à éclairer les questions brûlantes que constituent aujourd'hui la gouvernance et le développement durable dans une mondialisation respectueuse de la diversité des cultures et sensible aux réalités de terrain.

Book Description
The third volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress "The Many Languages of Comparative Literature" includes contributions that focus on the interplay between concepts of nation, national languages, and individual as well as collective identities. Because all literary communication happens within different kinds of power structures - linguistic, economic, political -, it often results in fascinating forms of hybridity. In the first of four thematic chapters, the papers investigate some of the ways in which discourses can establish modes of thinking, or how discourses are in turn controlled by active linguistic interventions, whether in the context of the patriarchy, war, colonialism, or political factions. The second thematic block is predominantly concerned with hybridity as an aspect of modern cultural identity, and the cultural and linguistic dimensions of domestic life and in society at large. Closely related, a third series of papers focuses on writers and texts analysed from the vantage points of exile and exophony, as well as theoretical contributions to issues of terminology and what it means to talk about transcultural phenomena. Finally, a group of papers sheds light on more overtly violent power structures, mechanisms of exclusion, Totalitarianism, torture, and censorship, but also resistance to these forms of oppression. In addition to these chapters, the volume also collects a number of thematically related group sections from the ICLA congress, preserving their original context.

Existe-t-il une ou des definitions a l'identite metisse ? Un metis est-il un etre acculture ou multiculturel ? Doit-il jouer des diverses facettes de ses origines pour se construire une personnalite ou doit-il choisir un camp, nier une partie du sang qui coule dans ses veines ? Quelle patrie peut-il revendiquer ? A l'ere de la multiplication des voyages et des echanges internationaux instantanes, ne sommes-nous pas tous plus ou moins metis Notre vie, notre travail, nos repas, nos mots ne sont-ils pas tous plus ou moins marques par des influences etrangeres Pouvons-nous, aujourd'hui, nous definir par rapport a UN territoire, a une zone geographique UNIQUE ?
