Le sens de la liberté
Dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, le mot " liberté " reçoit non seulement, comme l'écrivait Montesquieu en son temps, une multitude de différentes significations ; il fait l'objet d'un abus orwellien du langage. D'où l'interrogation qui est à la base de ce colloque : quel sens donner à la liberté en ce début du 21e siècle ? Quel est le rapport entre liberté et d'autres valeurs ? Comment la liberté est-elle perçue par les religions ? Quel sens lui donner dans une société multiculturelle ? Quel est le rôle des institutions démocratiques dans la défense et la promotion de la liberté et des libertés ? Comment concevoir et appliquer la loi pour qu'elle affranchisse comme le souhaitait Lacordaire ? Peut-on, doit-on poser des limites à la liberté ? Voilà quelques-unes des questions à propos desquelles s'interroge le présent collectif et auxquelles il s'efforce d'apporter quelques pistes de réponses.
The Hero and the Historians
Historians have long engaged in passionate debate about collective memory and the building of national identities. This book focuses on one national hero – Jacques Cartier – to explore how notions about the past have been created and passed on through the generations and used to present particular ideas about the world in English- and French-speaking Canada. The cult of celebrity surrounding Cartier by the mid-nineteenth century, Gordon reveals, reflected a particular understanding of history, one which accompanied the arrival of modernity in North America. This new sensibility, in turn, shaped the political and cultural currents of nation building in Canada. Cartier may have been a point of contact between English and French Canadian nationalism, but the nature of that contact, as Gordon shows, had profound limitations. The Hero and the Historians is necessary reading for anyone interested in the underlying culture of national identity – and national unity – in Canada.
Le patrimoine, atout du développement
Les textes regroupes dans ce volume sont dus à des auteurs européens et nord-américains réunis à Lyon à l'occasion des quatrièmes entretiens du Centre Jacques Cartier. Après un texte introductif de Régis Neyret, qui a rassemble, revu et sous-titré les textes présentés, on trouvera deux parties. La première examine la situation actuelle du patrimoine culturel face aux exigences et aux réalités économiques, sociales et touristiques. La seconde présente dix exemples de situations concrètes aux Etats-Unis, au Canada, en France et en Suisse.

The Voyages of Jacques Cartier
Jacques Cartier's voyages of 1534, 1535, and 1541constitute the first record of European impressions of the St Lawrence region of northeastern North American and its peoples. The Voyages are rich in details about almost every aspect of the region's environment and the people who inhabited it. As Ramsay Cook points out in his introduction, Cartier was more than an explorer; he was also Canada's first ethnographer. His accounts provide a wealth of information about the native people of the region and their relations with each other. Indirectly, he also reveals much about himself and about sixteenth-century European attitudes and beliefs. These memoirs recount not only the French experience wit...
Combat Journal for Place d'Armes
Originally published in 1967, Combat Journal for Place d'Armes, set in Montreal, was initially met with shock and anger by most reviewers. As D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover once had, it challenged the attitudes and morals held by most people in its time regarding life and literature. Despite this initial reaction, the novel earned author Scott Symons the Beta Sigma Phi Best First Canadian Novel Award and went on to be regarded as one of the "most important statements about Canadian imaginative life in the 1960s." Both a study of the emergence of a character's true self through his homosexual experiences and his critical examination of Canadian, and especially French-Canadian, culture and traditions, Place d'Armes was named one of the top hundred most important books in Canadian history. Peter Buitenhuis, the late autho ran dformer head of Simon Fraser University's English department, has written that Symon's novel is "a defiant assault on the Canadian Bourgeois mentality" that "celebrates human sexuality and spirtuality with all the gusto that language can command."
