Catholics across Borders
Catholics across Borders examines the evolution of a French-speaking population in Plattsburgh over a century. Contrasting with New England's francophone textile mill centers, Plattsburgh featured interethnic cooperation instead of conflict. The book explores how international events affected French Catholic identity at the local level, drawing from French-language newspapers and Catholic archives. Transnational Catholic migrants from Canada and France played a significant role in shaping local, regional, national, and international history in Plattsburgh and beyond, contributing to the larger narrative of the U.S. immigrant experience. This study provides a historic perspective for understanding the present.

Alexandre Kojève and the Specters of Russian Philosophy
Recounts Kojève’s key role in the pivotal exchange of ideas between Eastern and Western European intellectuals in the early twentieth century This book shines critical new light on the story of Alexandre Kojève’s intellectual origins and his role in the emigration of Russian philosophy into the West in the early twentieth century. Trevor Wilson illustrates how Kojève, at once adversarial to the insular communities of émigré philosophy and yet dependent on their networks and ideas for professional success, navigated the specters of the Russian tradition in pursuit of an autonomous self-definition as a philosopher and intellectual. Alexandre Kojève and the Specters of Russian Philoso...
Leon Petrażycki
The early 20th-century Russo-Polish legal thinker Leon Petrażycki (1867–1931) developed a comprehensive social psychology of law. Because only a fraction of his work is available in English, Petrażycki is today little known and seldom discussed in the Anglophone countries. This volume aims to remedy this deficit by introducing Petrażycki’s life and work specifically to an English-speaking audience. It is intended as a reappraisal of some of his views in the context of current advancements. This collection of 12 chapters produced by a panel of international scholars from various social science fields will be useful to a new generation of students formulating their own theories and research on socio-legal behavior. Leon Petrażycki: Law, Emotions, Society will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology of law, socio-legal studies, and philosophy of law
L'action culturelle et le développement territorial
Les recherches menées par l'auteur durant plus de vingt ans sur l'évolution des territoires l'ont conduit à présenter la culture comme le premier élément à considérer dans le développement urbain ou rural, car elle intègre le respect de l'histoire et le sens du lieu, le patrimoine sous toutes ses formes et les pratiques des habitants. Il a observé que les projets de nature culturelle provoquent des réactions intangibles qui ne sont pas toujours prises en compte dans le développement des territoires. A une époque où les villes et les régions sont en concurrence, la beauté d'un lieu, la fierté et le sentiment d'appartenance qui en découlent sont des facteurs de développement. L'auteur démontre, à travers l'histoire de la revitalisation du quartier Saint-Roch et six histoires de cas, la pertinence du recours à une stratégie culturelle, car elle stimule la créativité, l'innovation et la mobilisation des acteurs locaux.
Les 100 ans du prix d'Europe
L'année 2011 marquait le centenaire de la création par l'Etat québécois du prix d'Europe, une bourse de perfectionnement à l'étranger en arts d'interprétation musicale. Cet appui financier accordé par le gouvernement provincial de Lomer Gouin en réponse aux demandes du milieu musical de l'époque constituait une première au Canada en ce qui concerne l'usage de fonds publics pour l'octroi de bourses d'études. La loi pour favoriser le développement de l'art musical adoptée en 1911 est à l'origine d'une nouvelle forme d'intervention de l'Etat dans le domaine culturel, laquelle se prolongera par la création de nouvelles bourses d'études à l'étranger dans différents champs culturels et scientifiques à partir des années 1920 et par la création, en 1942, du Conservatoire de musique de la province de Québec, une institution d'enseignement publique unique en Amérique du Nord.
