Undisciplined Women
Redressing a neglect of women's traditions and feminist perspectives in Canadian folklore studies, 20 contributions discuss female experiences of traditional culture from feminist viewpoints. The authors look at the effect of gender on the collecting and interpreting of women's folklore, negative and positive images of women in traditional and popular culture, and women's use of creativity in their everyday lives. Some contributors are nonacademics. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
International Security in Practice
How do once bitter enemies move beyond entrenched rivalry at the diplomatic level? In one of the first attempts to apply practice theory to the study of International Relations, Vincent Pouliot builds on Pierre Bourdieu's sociology to devise a theory of practice of security communities and applies it to post-Cold War security relations between NATO and Russia. Based on dozens of interviews and a thorough analysis of recent history, Pouliot demonstrates that diplomacy has become a normal, though not a self-evident, practice between the two former enemies. He argues that this limited pacification is due to the intense symbolic power struggles that have plagued the relationship ever since NATO began its process of enlargement at the geographical and functional levels. So long as Russia and NATO do not cast each other in the roles that they actually play together, security community development is bound to remain limited.

Ethnologies francophones de l’Amérique et d’ailleurs
L'idée que les groupes francophones constituaient des unités homogènes qui se caractérisaient par un certain nombre de traits culturels hérités de la tradition a depuis été contestée en raison des nombreux emprunts culturels et des phénomènes de métissage observés par les chercheurs ces dernières années. Le mot ethnologie a remplacé le terme folklore pour désigner la discipline. Celle-ci s'intéresse désormais à de nouveaux objets d'étude et explore de nouveaux terrains - interculturalité, féminisme, sport, ethnologie urbaine, ethnologie appliquée, etc. Cette mutation a favorisé la réduction des échelles d'analyse, l'étude de mocro-phénomènes très localisés et ...
De France en Nouvelle-France
Spécialiste des élites politiques de la Nouvelle-France, et de leurs origines familiales et sociales, le professeur Jean-Claude Dubé, de l'Université d'Ottawa, s'est fait connaître par l'originalité de ses travaux et son double intérêt pour la France de l'Ancien Régime et la colonie. Conçu dans un perspective large qui est celle de Jean-Claude Dubé lui-même, cet ouvrage est celui d'un groupe d'amis qui, des deux côtés de l'Atlantique, ont voulu lui rendre hommage en lui offrant une série d'études de choix. S'étendant du politique au religieux, ces contributions tantôt neuves, tantôt longuement mûries et parfois provocantes, permettent en même temps d'établir des relations entre les deux sociétés métropolitaine et coloniale.

Coverage of resources in North American repositories is extensive while Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Australia and certain other countries are more selectively represented. Entries are arranged by repository location and most contributors draw upon a special knowledge of the resources described. Contributors include James R. Glenn (National Anthropological Archi...
Collection Thinking
Collection Thinking is a volume of essays that thinks across and beyond critical frameworks from library, archival, and museum studies to understand the meaning of "collection" as an entity and as an act. It offers new models for understanding how collections have been imagined and defined, assembled, created, and used as cultural phenomena. Featuring over 70 illustrations and 21 original chapters that explore cases from a wide range of fields, including library and archival studies, literary studies, art history, media studies, sound studies, folklore studies, game studies, and education, Collection Thinking builds on the important scholarly works produced on the topic of the archive over t...
