Sightlines
Sightlines is an architectural term meaning what you can see from where you stand - it's a question of perspective. This collection of images and words, gathered in conjunction with the international Sightlines symposium in Edmonton, Canada, in 1997, reveals the printmaker and the print from many angles. Including more than 250 color images representing more than 120 artists and a text by more than a dozen contributors, Sightlines opens up a rare view of contemporary printmaking around the world.
Literature and Painting In Quebec
This unique study explores how Quebec's landscapes have been represented in both literature and visual art throughout the centuries, from the writing of early explorers such as Cartier and Champlain to work by prominent contemporary authors and artists from the province. William J. Berg traces recurrent images and themes within these creations through the most significant periods in the development of a Quebecois identity that was threatened initially by the wilderness and indigenous populations, and later by the dominance of British and American influences. Focusing on the interplay between nature and culture in landscape representation, Literature and Painting in Quebec contends that both have reflected and fashioned the meaning of French-Canadian nationhood. As such, Literature and Painting in Quebec presents a new perspective to approach the notion of national identity, a quest that few groups have engaged in more persistently than the Quebecois.

Dictionnaire des onomastismes québécois
Le Dictionnaire des onomastismes québécois s’érige en monument modeste et fier, dédié à ces mots enfin immortalisés qui témoignent d’une langue vivante et profondément infusée du zeitgeist. Par-dessus tout, ce livre ouvre la voie à la reconnaissance de dérivés de noms propres d’ici (nelliganien, duplessiste, papineauiste…) qui émaillent le français, pour certains, depuis plus d’un siècle.
Le catalogue raisonné numérique en arts visuels
Cet ouvrage s’attarde aux variations contemporaines que le catalogue raisonné peut présenter dans l’environnement numérique. Il décortique le processus derrière la conception des catalogues raisonnés de quatre figures marquantes de la modernité québécoise, soit le sculpteur Armand Vaillancourt et les peintres Paul-Émile Borduas (1905-1960), Jean Paul Riopelle (1923-2002) et Marcel Barbeau (1925-2016). Il s'agit de la première étude consacrée à l'analyse de ce type d’objet de connaissance.
Canadian Art in the Twentieth Century
Canadian Art in the Twentieth Century is a survey of the richest, most controversial and perhaps most thoroughly confusing centuries in the whole history of the visual arts in Canada - the period from 1900 to the present. Murray shows how, beginning with Tonalism at the start of the century, new directions in art emerged - starting with our early Modernists, among them Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven. Today, Modernism has lost its dominance. Artists, critics, and the public alike are confronted by a scene of unprecedented variety and complexity. Murray discusses the social and political events of the century in combination with the cultural context; movements, ideas, attitudes, and styles; the important groups in Canadian art, and major and minor artists and their works. Fully documented, well researched and written with clarity and over four hundred illustrations in both black-and-white and colour, Murray’s book is essential for understanding Canadian art of this century. As an introduction, it is excellent in both its scope and intelligence.
Dieu agit-il dans l'histoire?
"La tradition judéo-chrétienne s'organise entièrement autour d'une conviction fondamentale : la reconnaissance de l'action de Dieu dans l'histoire, tant personnelle que collective. Cette conviction est aujourd'hui ébranlée. Après des siècles de vie moderne, la conscience croyante est de moins en moins prompte à attribuer à Dieu les tenants et les aboutissants des événements quotidiens. Elle relit avec malaise nombre de récits bibliques mettant Dieu en scène dans les combats d'Israël ; elle ne prie plus avec autant d'aisance pour l'obtention de telle ou telle faveur ; elle ne rapporte plus sans réticence tel ou tel drame à la volonté de Dieu. Comment croire encore à l'action de Dieu tout en faisant droit à la liberté humaine? Mais de quel Dieu s'agit-il? Qu'entend-on par « agir »? De quelle histoire parle-t-on? Et que signifie croire, en pratique ? Il importe de déplier la question initiale, de l'ouvrir à la réflexion commune, de manière à mieux comprendre ce qui se joue dans la grande aventure de la foi."--Page 4 de la couverture
