A New Approach to Global Studies from the Perspective of Small Nations
With emphasis on East Asian and North American examples – notably Japan and Quebec – Date, Laniel and their contributors take a new approach to the understanding of small nations and their role in the international system. Small nations, by their very nature, raise significant questions about what a nation is. Some small nations are sovereign states with relatively small populations and limited territory, others are nations within larger sovereign states, with distinctive cultures, governance structures or other features that differentiate them from their “parent” state. By focussing on non-European nations in particular, the contributors to this volume challenge our conceptions of w...
L’autre moitié de la modernité. Conversations avec Joseph Yvon Thériault
L’œuvre sociologique de Joseph Yvon Thériault fournit une aide aussi rare que précieuse pour penser les défis des sociétés modernes. Elle porte plus de quarante ans de réflexions sur le Québec, l’Acadie, la francophonie canadienne et les « petites nations ». À l’instar de celles d’autres grands penseurs, elle fournit un « monde commun » suffisamment riche et partagé pour penser avec acuité et diversité les enjeux sociopolitiques d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. C’est à l’explicitation de cette œuvre originale au service de l’intelligence du contemporain que portent ces conversations tenues entre deux jeunes universitaires, l’un historien, l’autre sociologue, et Joseph Yvon Thériault. Elles retracent le chemin parcouru par le prolifique sociologue, en suggérant ce que son œuvre doit à son terreau acadien comme à ses études parisiennes, en autant de thèmes qui relèvent l’importance, pour la quête intellectuelle comme pour la constitution des sociétés, de cette « autre moitié de la modernit頻, ce monde social, historique et culturel qui donne chair aux grands principes et processus modernes.
La laïcité du Québec au miroir de sa religiosité
Saisir en quoi et comment la question de la laïcité est une question religieuse : voilà le défi que se sont lancé les auteurs de cet ouvrage.
Sur les traces de la démocratie
Acadien de naissance et de cœur, professeur de sociologie à l’Université d’Ottawa puis à l’Université du Québec à Montréal, auteur prolifique primé par la critique, animateur infatigable de la vie universitaire, personnalité publique et médiatique, Joseph Yvon Thériault a laissé une marque profonde sur la vie des idées de son temps. Cet ouvrage collectif témoigne de la pertinence, de la profondeur et du rayonnement de ses réflexions. Les disciplines et nationalités ici représentées sont à l’image de la diversité des objets qu’il a étudiés. De la francophonie canadienne au développement régional, de la modernité politique aux petites nations, il a su suivre les traces que laissent les peuples qui font société.

The Sixties and Beyond
In the decades following the Second World War, North America and Western Europe experienced widespread secularization and dechristianization; many scholars have pinpointed the 1960s as a pivotally important period in this decline. The Sixties and Beyond examines the scope and significance of dechristianization in the western world between 1945 and 2000. A thematically wide-ranging and interdisciplinary collection, The Sixties and Beyond uses a framework that compares the social and cultural experiences of North America and Western Europe during this period. The internationally based contributors examine the dynamic place of Christianity in both private lives and public discourses and practices by assessing issues such as gender relations, family life, religious education, the changing relationship of church and state, and the internal dynamics of religious organizations. The Sixties and Beyond is an excellent contribution to the burgeoning scholarship on the 1960s as well as to the history of Christianity in the western world.
Sociologies of Religion
Sociologies of Religion: National Traditions presents fourteen histories of the sociological study of religion in a diverse set of nations. Each of the histories is newly written by author who are uniquely situated to tell narrate the story of the field in their countries. They give us the stories behind major personages, theoretical traditions, seminal works, research institutes, and professional associations. The histories trace the various ways the field was established in different academic and religious contexts and the trajectories it took in emerging as a scientific specialty.
A Modern History of Forgotten Genocides and Mass Atrocities
This is the first textbook of its kind to amass cases of genocide and other mass atrocities across the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries that have largely been pushed to the periphery of Genocide Studies or “forgotten” altogether. Divided into four thematic sections – Genocide and Imperialism; War and Genocide; State Repression, Military Dictatorships, and Genocide; and Human-Caused Famine, Attrition, and Genocide – A Modern History of Forgotten Genocides and Mass Atrocities covers five continents, including case studies from Biafra, Yemen, Argentina, Russia, China, and Bengal. They range from the French conquest of Algeria in the mid-nineteenth century to the Yazidi ...
