From Vocal Poetry to Song
Although the song is often the subject of monographs, one of its forms remains insufficiently researched: the vocalised song, communicated to the spectator through performance. The study of the song takes one back to the study of vocal practices, from aesthetic objects to forms and to plural styles. To conceive a song means approaching it in its different instances of creation as well as its linguistic diversity. Jean Nicolas De Surmont proposes ways of research and analysis useful to musicians, musicologists, and literary critics alike. In his book he takes up the issue of vocal poetry in addition to examining the theoretic aspects of song objects. Rather than offering an autonomous model of analysis, De Surmont extends the research fields and suggests responses to debates that have involved everyone interested in vocal poetic forms.

Around and about Marius Barbeau
Marius Barbeau (1883-1969) played a vital role in shaping Canadian culture in the twentieth century. Rooted in the premise that his cultural work – in anthropology, fine arts, music, film, folklore studies, fiction, historiography – cannot be read uni-dimensionally, the sixteen articles that comprise this book demonstrate that by merging disciplinary perspectives about Barbeau, evaluations and understandings of the situation around Barbeau can be deepened.

1937: un tournant culturel
Dans cette décennie de crises des années 1930, l'année 1937 a des allures de ligne de partage des eaux entre tradition et modernité. La publication de Regards et jeux dans l'espace de Saint-Denys Garneau, de Menaud maître draveur de Félix-Antoine Savard, de Directives de l'abbé Lionel Groulx, de Séparatisme. Doctrine constructive de Dostaler O'Leary, l'arrivée d'André Laurendeau à la direction de l'Action nationale, l'entrée en vigueur de la loi du cadenas, les caricatures du jeune Robert LaPalme et d'autres signes ont intéressé des historiens, des littéraires, des sociologues, des historiens de l'art, de la musique et du cinéma. Ils ont jeté un regard polyvalent sur cette année qui se révèle avoir été un tournant culturel de l'évoluton intellectuelle du Québec.
