Abstract

Les missions d’évangélisation catholiques auprès des populations autochtones nord-amérindiennes de l’Ouest canadien, au XIXe siècle et au XXe siècle, s’offrent à la recherche en sciences sociales comme un laboratoire d’expériences de la rencontre interculturelle propice à l’étude des processus d’adaptation à l’altérité. Missionnaires et missionnés s’observent, interagissent et construisent une histoire commune. Sur une toile de fond teintée de post-colonialisme, les protagonistes s’expriment au sujet de cette période de cohabitation forcée. Entre individualités et collectivités, entre mémoire et renouveau, la rencontre entre religieuses et autochtones se donne à voir. La fabrique de cet espace commun est ici abordée sous l’angle du féminin, par l’intermédiaire des mémoires féminines des missions. Cet ouvrage propose une mise en confrontation de deux cultures en contexte de missions d’évangélisation et ce, à travers les mécanismes de rencontre dans lesquels les constructions culturelles du masculin, du féminin et de la relation entre les sexes ne sont pas étrangères.

Abstract

Inuit hunting traditions are rich in perceptions, practices and stories relating to animals and human beings. Laugrand and Oosten examine key figures such as the raven, an animal that has a central place in Inuit culture as a creator and a trickster, and qupirruit, a category consisting of insects and other small life forms. After these non-social and inedible animals, the authors discuss the dog, the companion of the hunter, and the fellow hunter, the bear, considered to resemble a human being. A discussion of the renewal of whale hunting accompanies the chapters about animals considered ""p

Abstract

Over the century between the first Oblate mission to the Canadian central Arctic in 1867 and the radical shifts brought about by Vatican II, the region was the site of complex interactions between Inuit, Oblate missionaries, and Grey Nuns – interactions that have not yet received the attention they deserve. Enriching archival sources with oral testimony, Frédéric Laugrand and Jarich Oosten provide an in-depth analysis of conversion, medical care, education, and vocation in the Keewatin region of the Northwest Territories. They show that while Christianity was adopted by the Inuit and major transformations occurred, the Oblates and the Grey Nuns did not eradicate the old traditions or assimilate the Inuit, who were caught up in a process they could not yet fully understand. The study begins with the first contact Inuit had with Christianity in the Keewatin region and ends in the mid-1960s, when an Inuk woman joined the Grey Nuns and two Inuit brothers became Oblate missionaries. Bringing together many different voices, perspectives, and experiences, and emphasizing the value of multivocality in understanding this complex period of Inuit history, Inuit, Oblate Missionaries, and Grey Nuns in the Keewatin, 1865–1965 highlights the subtle nuances of a long and complex interaction, showing how salvation and suffering were intertwined.

Abstract

Quatrième de couverture : "Cet ouvrage rassemble six points de vue d'anthropologues sur l'impensable et l'impensé de la pandémie Covid-19. Des vies aujourd'hui bouleversées, parfois malmenées et pour le moins déconcertantes s'offrent à l'analyse anthropologique. Comment a-t-on pu en arriver là?? Chaque grande crise renvoie l'humain à son arrogance, à ses limites et aux conséquences de ses actes. Masquer le monde ouvre le débat..."

Abstract

"Apostle to the Inuit presents the journals and ethnographical notes of Reverend Edmund James Peck, an Anglican missionary who opened the first mission among the Inuit of Baffin Island in 1894. He stayed until 1905, and by that time, had firmly established Christianity in the North. He became known to the Inuit as 'Uqammaq, ' the one who talks well. His colleagues knew him as 'Apostle among the Eskimo.'" "Peck's diaries of the period focus on his missionary work and the adoption of Christianity by the Inuit and provide an impressive account of the daily life and work of the early missionaries in Baffin Island. His ethnographic data was collected at the request of famed anthropologist Franz Boas in 1897. Peck conducted extensive research on Inuit oral traditions and presents several detailed verbatim accounts of shamanic traditions and practises. This work continues to be of great value for a better understanding of Inuit culture and history but has never before been published." "Apostle to the Inuit demonstrates how a Christian missionary, who was bitterly opposed to shamanism, became a devoted researcher of this complex tradition. Editors Frederic Laugrand, Jarich Oosten, and Francois Trudel highlight the relationships between Europeans and Inuit and discuss central issues facing Native peoples and missionaries in the North. They also present a selection of drawings made by Inuit at the request of Peck, which illustrate Inuit life on Baffin Island at the turn of the twentieth century. The book offers important new data on the history of the missions among the Inuit as well as on the history of Inuit religion and the anthropological study of Inuit oral traditions."--Jacket.
