The Mystical Geography of Quebec
This study of new religious movements in Quebec focuses on nine groups—including the notoriously violent Solar Temple; the iconoclastic Temple of Priapus; and the various “Catholic” schisms, such as those led by a mystical pope; the Holy Spirit incarnate; or the reappearance of the Virgin Mary. Eleven contributing authors offer rich ethnographies and sociological insights on new spiritual groups that highlight the quintessential features of Quebec's new religions (“sectes” in the francophone media). The editors argue that Quebec provides a favorable “ecology” for alternative spirituality, and explore the influences behind this situation: the rapid decline of the Catholic Church after Vatican Il; the “Quiet Revolution,” a utopian faith in Science; the 1975 Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms; and an open immigration that welcomes diverse faiths. The themes of Quebec nationalism found in prophetic writings that fuel apocalyptic ferment are explored by the editors who find in these sectarian communities echoes of Quebec’s larger Sovereignty movement.
Issues in Religion and Education
Issues in Religion and Education, Whose Religion? is a contribution to the dynamic and evolving global debates about the role of religion in public education. This volume provides a cross-section of the debates over religion, its role in public education and the theoretical and political conundrums associated with resolutions. The chapters reflect the contested nature of the role of religion in public education around the world and explore some of the issues mentioned from perspectives reflecting the diverse contexts in which the authors are situated. The differences among the chapters reflect some of the particular ways in which various jurisdictions have come to see the problem and how they have addressed religious diversity in public education in the context of their own histories and politics. Contributors are: Lori G. Beaman, Catherine Byrne, Christine L. Cusack, Adam Dinham, Lauren L. Forbes, Stéphanie Gravel, Bruce Grelle, Mathew Guest, Anna Halafoff, Kim Lam, Solange Lefebvre, Alison Mawhinney, Damon Mayrl, Asha Mukherjee, Heather Shipley, Sonia Sikka, Geir Skeie, Leo Van Arragon and Pamela Dickey Young.
The Challenges of a Secular Quebec
In 2019, the Quebec National Assembly passed Bill 21. It prohibits, among other things, certain state employees in positions of authority (including teachers, prison guards, police officers, and justices of the peace) from wearing religious symbols when providing public services. Many political commentators in English Canada denounced the law as running counter to Canadian multiculturalism and human rights. Why did the Quebec government adopt this particular form of state secularism? And why did it garner public support? The Challenges of a Secular Quebec analyzes the statute from different angles to provide a nuanced, respectful discussion of its intentions and principles that recognizes the province’s singular history in North America.
Rites et symboles contemporains
Traditionnellement, et à des degrés divers selon les sociétés, la charge de l’intervention rituelle revenait à certaines institutions clairement identifiées : l’Église, l’État, la famille. Au cours des dernières décennies, cependant, les pratiques sociales et culturelles se sont clairement transformées : une pluralisation, une individualisation, voire une atomisation des rituels, des agents qui les gèrent et des formes de ces interventions se sont produites.Peu d’auteurs se sont penchés sur ces nouveaux rites et symboles, qu’ils soient profanes ou religieux, sauvages ou domestiqués, institués ou instituants. Qui sont aujourd’hui les manipulateurs de symboles ? ...
L'éthique et les pratiques d'intervention en organisation
De plus en plus d'organisations font référence à l'éthique dans leurs activités et dans divers documents officiels. Les demandes d'intervention à portée éthique se multiplient conséquemment. Les attentes des organisations sont toutefois variées, tout comme le sont les pratiques d'intervention et les conceptions théoriques qu'elles mobilisent. Ce livre vise à réfléchir aux approches actuelles en matière d'intervention en éthique, à leurs objectifs et leurs méthodes, ainsi qu'à d'autres cadres théoriques d'intervention en organisation, non spécifiquement dédiés à l'éthique, mais pouvant remplir des fonctions analogues. Il s'inscrit dans le prolongement d'un colloque international tenu à l'Université Laval auquel étaient conviés des experts belges, français et québécois. Les chercheurs ont ainsi partagé les modèles théoriques qu'ils utilisent lors d'interventions en organisation tout en poursuivant la réflexion sur l'intervention en éthique, sont transfert en milieu de travail de même que la façon dont elle contribue à la construction d'un corps inédit de connaissances.

Spirituality in the Biomedical World
The need to take the spiritual experience during illness into account is part of a broader trend in Western societies—a fascination with the practical uses of spirituality and its contribution to individual wellbeing, whether through a religious or a humanist tradition. This understanding of spirituality differs from traditional views embedded in religious traditions. This book takes a critical point of view at the biomedical representation of the function of spirituality in care. Medicine reorders notions such as life, death, health, sickness, and spirituality. This process is called here “sapientialization”, i.e. the spiritual experience is expressed and understood under the auspices...
