Culinary Landmarks
Culinary Landmarks is a definitive history and bibliography of Canadian cookbooks from the beginning, when La cuisinière bourgeoise was published in Quebec City in 1825, to the mid-twentieth century. Over the course of more than ten years Elizabeth Driver researched every cookbook published within the borders of present-day Canada, whether a locally authored text or a Canadian edition of a foreign work. Every type of recipe collection is included, from trade publishers' bestsellers and advertising cookbooks, to home economics textbooks and fund-raisers from church women's groups. The entries for over 2,200 individual titles are arranged chronologically by their province or territory of publ...
Heritage Futures
Preservation of natural and cultural heritage is often said to be something that is done for the future, or on behalf of future generations, but the precise relationship of such practices to the future is rarely reflected upon. Heritage Futures draws on research undertaken over four years by an interdisciplinary, international team of 16 researchers and more than 25 partner organisations to explore the role of heritage and heritage-like practices in building future worlds. Engaging broad themes such as diversity, transformation, profusion and uncertainty, Heritage Futures aims to understand how a range of conservation and preservation practices across a number of countries assemble and resource different kinds of futures, and the possibilities that emerge from such collaborative research for alternative approaches to heritage in the Anthropocene. Case studies include the cryopreservation of endangered DNA in frozen zoos, nuclear waste management, seed biobanking, landscape rewilding, social history collecting, space messaging, endangered language documentation, built and natural heritage management, domestic keeping and discarding practices, and world heritage site management.
Critical Perspectives on Cultural Memory and Heritage
Critical Perspectives on Cultural Memory and Heritage focuses on the importance of memory and heritage for individual and group identity, and for their sense of belonging. It aims to expose the motives and discourses related to the destruction of memory and heritage during times of war, terror, sectarian conflict and through capitalist policies. It is within these affected spheres of cultural heritage where groups and communities ascribe values, develop memories, and shape their collective identity.
Le Tribunal des animaux
Encore aujourd’hui, certains producteurs de viande, des éleveurs et des propriétaires d’abattoirs rivalisent de cruauté envers les bêtes pour augmenter les profits de leurs entreprises. Quand un coquelet échappé d’un abattoir arrive sur une ferme biologique, les animaux qui y vivent découvrent avec horreur les traitements qui sont souvent réservés à leurs semblables. Que peuvent-ils faire? Se venger? Dénoncer? Enquêter sur les sévices et traîner les humains devant la justice? L’idée fait son chemin. Mais chez les bêtes comme chez les humains, il y a toujours un imbécile pour faire foirer même la meilleure idée du monde. étiquette probable (la formulation finale reste à confirmer) : Enquête révoltante qui n’épargne ni les cœurs sensibles ni les animaux d’élevage
History and Heritage
Just what is it that we want from the past? History offers us true stories about the past; heritage sells or provides us with the past we appear to desire. The dividing line between history and heritage is, however, far from clear. This collection of papers addresses the division between history and heritage by looking at the ways in which we make use of the past, the way we consume our yesterdays. Looking at a wide variety of fields, including architectural history, museums, films, novels and politics, the authors examine the ways in which the past is invoked in contemporary culture, and question the politics of drawing upon 'history' in present-day practices. In topics ranging from Braveheart to Princess Diana, the Piltdown Man to the National History Curriculum, war memorials to stately homes, "History and Heritage" explores the presence of the past in our lives, and asks, how, and to what end, are we using the idea of the past. Who is consuming the past and why?

Alter ego
« Les super-héros envahissent le Québec ! » Voilà ce qu’annonçait en lettres rouges la couverture du premier numéro de la bande dessinée The Valiant, la publication inaugurale des éditions Héros. Le genre superhéroïque est effectivement bien représenté dans la trentaine de librairies spécialisées en bande dessinée des grands centres urbains québécois et dans la plupart des succursales des chaînes de librairies généralistes. Il trône aussi dans les salons dédiés à la bande dessinée et à la culture populaire nord-américaine, comme les Comiccon, qui attirent des dizaines de milliers de visiteurs annuellement. Cependant, on connaît mal les conditions qui ont permi...
