The contributors explore the multifaceted relations established between the avant-garde “centers” (France, Germany, England, and others) and their counterparts in the cultural “periphery” (Greece, India, Japan, Poland, Quebec, Romania, and the former Yugoslavia), as well as the unique artistic and literary dialogues which these encounters engendered. The primary concern of the anthology is the set of relations established betw...

Identité et modernité dans l'art au Québec
« Le livre de Louise Vigneault apporte des réponses toujours ingénieuses, convaincantes et originales. Le lecteur aura du plaisir à la suivre dans le dédale de ses arguments toujours bien documentés, rigoureux et clairement exposés. Il en ressort une histoire de l’art et des artistes hantée par des problèmes théoriques, voire même philosophiques, toujours d’une grande actualité. » Extrait de la préface
Histoire de Montréal et de sa région
L'historien futur de la rue Notre-Dame devra me faire causer. Je lui fournirai des renseignements précieux, des souvenirs piquants (...) car la rue Notre-Dame se dépouille de sa vieille physionomie, la rue Notre-Dame des anciens jours s'en va rapidement. Elle n'est plus étroite et resserrée sur tout son parcours ; le chemin de fer urbain augmente le nombre des passants, trouble les conciliabules des flâneurs au coin des rues, et leur donne le scandale de la vitesse. (...) Que de souvenirs dans cet étroit espace, que de flâneurs y ont promené leur curiosité, leurs caprices, leurs ennuis. Demandez à vos grands-parents qui voguent dans les eaux de la soixantaine sous pavillon neutre, comme on y flânait autrefois, plus gaiement, plus familièrement qu'aujourd'hui. La ville n'avait alors qu'une rue, la rue Notre-Dame, il y avait une rivière dans la rue Craig ; on allait à la chasse rue Sherbrooke ; il fallait être armé jusqu'aux dents pour se risquer vers le Beaver Hall. L'été on faisait des parties de canots, de la Place-Viger au Griffintown ; on pouvait pêche à la ligne Placeà-Foin.
