Confronting the Borders of Medieval Art
This volume approaches the problem of the canonical “center” by looking at art and architecture on the borders of the medieval world, from China to Armenia, Sweden, and Spain. Seven contributors engage three distinct yet related problems: margins, frontiers, and cross-cultural encounters. While not displaying a unified methodology or privileging specific theoretical constructs, the essays emphasize how strategies of representation articulated ownership and identity within contested arenas. What is contested is both medieval (the material evidence itself) and modern (the scholarly traditions in which the evidence has or has not been embedded). An introduction by the editors places the essays within historiographic and pedagogical frameworks. Contributors: J. Caskey, K. Kogman-Appel, C. Maranci, J. Purtle, C. Robinson, N. Wicker and E.S.Wolper.
Making Up the Rococo
Exploring how the discrediting of Boucher and his school intersected with cultural debates about gender and class, this account of Boucher's art should persuade critics and admirers alike to take another, more considered look.
Struggle for Quebec
Young (political science, U. of Western Ontario) follows his analysis of the Quebec situation in The Secession of Quebec and the Future of Canada, written in mid-1994, with an update of developments since then. He describes the prelude to the 1995 referendum campaign on Quebec secession, and analyzes the arguments deployed by federalists and sovereignists, seeking to explain why the Yes forces gained ground in 1995 and almost won. He then assesses the fallout of the referendum and describes how the sovereignists and federalists are maneuvering around the prospect of another referendum. He provides predictions on what would happen after a Yes vote. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

No Single Trajectory
This book presents papers by eleven European scholars that explore the ambivalent representations of an American West that follows “no single trajectory, creating instead a series of lines and rhythms, always moving, crossing, and folding” (Neil Campbell). The papers explore the use of the American West as an ideal or a realistic setting in different cultural productions, ranging from music (“Sing-along Melodies of the West”) to film (“Western Images in Motion”) or comics (“Graphic Representations of the American West”), and including popular cultural fields like podcasts, fashion, and gastronomy (“Performing the West”).

Vélo-club de Roubaix, au coeur de la légende
Le Vélo-Club de Roubaix fait ses premiers pas en 1966 dans une arrière salle d'un café, rue de Lannoy, à Roubaix. Le Nord de la France est une région de grande tradition sportive : Le L.O.S.C. de l'après-guerre en football ; Denain, Gravelines en basket, Tourcoing en water-polo et en Volley-ball... il manquait à cette liste, une discipline qui n'était pas représentée au plus haut niveau alors qu'elle faisait beaucoup d'émules : le cyclisme... Lorsque le Vélo-Club de Roubaix voit le jour en 1966, les champions cyclistes de l'époque s'appellent Eddy Merckx, Jacques Anquetil, Raymond Poulidor ou encore Tom Simpson. Ces " géants de la route " forcent l'admiration de milliers de spectateurs de tous âges et font partie de cette fabuleuse histoire du cyclisme, une histoire dans laquelle le Vélo-Club de Roubaix a une place de choix. C'est cette superbe aventure sportive que nous conte Audrey Ferraro, correspondante à " La Voix des Sports " et passionnée par la Petite Reine...
