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.
Music in Canada
Providing access to virtually any subject related to music and musicians in Canada, more than 900 annotated entries are organized under 13 topics, and indexed by author, subject, and title. Background and supplementary information and suggestions for research are presented in introductory essays. The material covered reflects the broad spectrum of music in Canadian society including historical, analytical, and biographical studies of music derived from the European tradition, First Nations and Inuit music, jazz and popular works, folk and ethnic music, education, research and bibliographical materials. The reader is also directed to some important on-line resources. Musical activity in Canada has developed remarkably in the past 50 years, with a parallel growth of musical scholarship examining historical, social, and ethnological aspects of Canadian musical life. This Guide is the first to draw comprehensively on the wealth of studies now available, which are often dispersed and not easily located. Consequently, this information is invaluable to students and researchers interested in Canadian music, the music of North America, and Canadian studies. Index.

De l’oral à l’écrit, de l’objet à l’image
Une réflexion sur l’ancrage culturel francophone nord-américain et ses expressions, à travers le récit individuel sous toutes ses formes.
La somme d’une vie
Michel Lessard (1942-2022) a traversé le ciel de l’ethnologie québécoise telle une comète flamboyante. De son œuvre couronnée des plus grands succès allait surgir la vision ethnologique d’un Québec confiné jusque-là aux marges de ses dimensions rurales et traditionnelles, héritées de la Nouvelle-France, en un monde qui s’ouvrait enfin à la modernité du temps présent.
La Corriveau : La formation d'une légende
Luc Lacourcière (1910-1989) Le fondateur des Archives de folklore de l'Université Laval, le premier programme d'enseignement universitaire de l'ethnologie au Canada, qu'on nommait alors folklore, a mené une double carrière - en littérature et en ethnologie - et ses travaux pionniers demeurent des références dans chacune de ces disciplines. Son étude de la Corriveau en témoigne superbement. La Corriveau (1733-1763) « Il n'est guère de femme, dans toute l'histoire canadienne, qui ait plus mauvaise réputation que Marie-Josephte Corriveau, appelée communément la Corriveau. » Cette déclaration liminaire ouvre l'étude de Luc Lacourcière sur le sort de l'infortunée Valliéroise q...
Les incertitudes de la présence
Les parcours identitaires fictifs que donnent à lire de nombreux récits contemporains se nourrissent de leur ancrage dans la phénoménalité du sensible. Cet ouvrage est consacré à l'étude de cette corrélation, aux modalités de sa mise en discours et à ses effets en termes de signification. Les oeuvres analysées sont algériennes, françaises, québécoises et appartiennent donc à la littérature de langue française considérée en extension, sans les insidieuses hiérarchisations dont est trop souvent porteuse la notion de littérature francophone. L'auteur y examine les opérations énonciatives et narratives par lesquelles se déploient les expériences sensibles de personnages qui sont d'abord et avant tout des corps sentants et percevants. Puis il montre comment de ces modes de présence au monde sensible surgissent des formes de vie qui sont précisément les manifestations signifiantes d'identités conçues comme des effets induits par les ressources formelles des textes.
John Lennon, Yoko Ono and the Year Canada Was Cool
John Lennon was the world's biggest rock star in the late Sixties. With his new wife Yoko Ono, the duo were icons of the peace movement denouncing the Vietnam War. In 1969, at the height of their popularity, they headed to Canada. Canada was already a politically charged place. In 1968, Pierre Elliott Trudeau rode a wave of popularity dubbed Trudeaumania for its similarities to the Beatlemania of the era. The sexual revolution, hippie culture, the New Left and the peace movement were challenging norms, frightening the authorities and provoking backlash. Quebec nationalism was putting the power of the English-speaking minority running the province on the defensive, and threatening the breakup...
Contemporary Musical Expressions in Canada
Music and dance in Canada today are diverse and expansive, reflecting histories of travel, exchange, and interpretation and challenging conceptions of expressive culture that are bounded and static. Reflecting current trends in ethnomusicology, Contemporary Musical Expressions in Canada examines cultural continuity, disjuncture, intersection, and interplay in music and dance across the country. Essays reconsider conceptual frameworks through which cultural forms are viewed, critique policies meant to encourage crosscultural sharing, and address ways in which traditional forms of expression have changed to reflect new contexts and audiences. From North Indian kathak dance, Chinese lion dance,...
