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.

Alan Houston introduces a new level of rigor into contemporary debates over republicanism by providing the first complete account of the range, structure, and influence of the political writings of Algernon Sidney (1623-1683). Though not well known today, Sidney's Discourses Concerning Government influenced radicals in England and America throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. To many, it was a "textbook of revolution." Houston begins with a masterful intellectual biography tracing the development of Sidney's ideas in the political and intellectual context of Stuart England, and he concludes with a detailed study of the impact of Sidney's writings and heroic martyrdom on revolutionary America. Documenting the interdependence of what have previously been regarded as distinctly "liberal" and "republican" theories, the author provides a new perspective on Anglo-American political thought. Many scholars have assumed that the republican language of virtue is distinct from and in tension with the liberal logic of rights and interests. By focusing on the contemporary meaning of concepts like freedom and slavery or virtue and corruption, Houston demonstrates that Sidney's republicanism and Locke's liberalism were not rivals but frequently complemented each other.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Much has been written, and very well written, on the collection in the 19th century in and through fiction: it is therefore another path that the voices gathered here would like to explore. Based on collections of all kinds (private and public, literary, historical and artistic, editorial and museological), from a necessarily and resolutely interdisciplinary perspective, the aim is to question the specificity of the act and of the discourse of the collection in the 19th century, and to think of it as a figuration and a fiction, a production and a projection of a, or even of the, 19th century. Beaucoup a été écrit, et fort bien écrit, sur la collection au XIXe siècle dans et par la fiction : c’est donc une autre voie que les voix ici réunies voudraient explorer. À partir de collections de tous ordres (privé et public, littéraire, historique et artistique, éditorial et muséal), selon une perspective nécessairement et résolument interdisciplinaire, il s’agit d’interroger la spécificité du geste – à la geste de la Révolution attaché – et du discours de la collection au XIXe siècle, et de les penser comme figuration et fiction, production et projection d’un, voire du XIXe siècle, bref : le XIXe siècle à l’épreuve de la collection.

Contributes to a better understanding of Horace Mann and the educational reform movement he advanced.Head Masters challenges the assumption that phrenology-the study of the conformation of the skull as it relates to mental faculties and character-played only a minor and somewhat anecdotal role in the development of education. Stephen Tomlinson asserts instead that phrenology was a scientifically respectable theory of human nature, perhaps the first solid physiological psychology. He shows that the first phrenologists were among the most prominent scientists and intelle
