Abstract

L’« Ethnopsychiatrie » d’Henri Ellenberger est la première synthèse de langue française sur cette discipline hybride située entre psychiatrie et ethnologie, qui s’est développée après-guerre à la fin des empires coloniaux et qui a connu un succès foudroyant ces dernières décennies. Ce corpus présente un grand intérêt du point de vue de l’histoire des sciences humaines et sociales. D’une part, il constitue un cas d’étude de circulation des savoirs entre la France et l’Amérique du Nord, puisqu’il a été rédigé à Montréal par un médecin et chercheur formé à Paris. D’autre part, il permet d’interroger le moment de transition entre la médecine coloniale et les pratiques contemporaines de l’ethnopsychiatrie en métropole avec des migrants. Cette nouvelle édition en trois parties s’ouvre par une présentation générale qui resitue les sources dans le contexte des savoirs de l’époque, en mettant l’accent sur les acteurs et les réseaux savants, entre médecine, psychologie et sciences sociales, dans une perspective historique. Le texte original est quant à lui reproduit à l’identique et annoté. Enfin un choix d’archives inédites est proposé, dont un enseignement délivré au Canada et un échange épistolaire avec Georges Devereux. Henri Ellenberger’s “Ethno-psychiatry” is the first synthesis in the French language on this hybrid discipline at the crossroads of psychiatry and ethnology, which developed in the post-war era with the end of colonial empires and which has met with tremendous success in recent decades. This body of work is of great interest within the history of humanities and social sciences. On the one hand, it represents a case study of the circulation of knowledge between France and North America as it was written in Montréal in an English-speaking and academic environment by a French-speaking researcher educated in Paris. On the other hand, it raises interesting questions about the transition between colonial medicine and the contemporary practices of…

Abstract

The road trip genre, well established in the literatures of Canada, is a natural outcome of the nation's obsession with geography. Divided Highways examines road narratives by Anglo-Canadian, Quebecois and Indigenous authors and the sense of place and nationhood in these communities. Geography describes the land, and history peoples it, just as memories connect us to place. This is why road trips are such a feature of writing in Canada, allowing the travellers to claim, at least symbolically, the terrain they have traversed. Macfarlane examines works by a variety of writers from each of these communities, including Gilles Archambault, Jeannette Armstrong, Jill Frayne, Tomson Highway, Claude Jasmin, Robert Kroetsch, Jacques Poulin, Aritha van Herk and Paul Villeneuve, to name but a few. Studying a diversity of road narratives from Anglo-Canadian, Quebecois and Indigenous populations not only demonstrates the existence of a very specific road genre, but is also revelatory of very diverse and often conflicting perceptions of nationhood. It is these expressions of sovereignty that are integral to ongoing discussions of reconciliation and decolonization.

Abstract

Can literary criticism help transform entrenched Settler Canadian understandings of history and place? How are nationalist historiographies, insular regionalisms, established knowledge systems, state borders, and narrow definitions continuing to hinder the transfer of information across epistemological divides in the twenty-first century? What might nation-to-nation literary relations look like? Through readings of a wide range of northeastern texts - including Puritan captivity narratives, Wabanaki wampum belts, and contemporary Innu poetry - Rachel Bryant explores how colonized and Indigenous environments occupy the same given geographical coordinates even while existing in distinct epistemological worlds. Her analyses call for a vital and unprecedented process of listening to the stories that Indigenous peoples have been telling about this continent for centuries. At the same time, she performs this process herself, creating a model for listening and for incorporating those stories throughout. This commitment to listening is analogous to homing - the sophisticated skill that turtles, insects, lobsters, birds, and countless other beings use to return to sites of familiarity. Bryant adopts the homing process as a reading strategy that continuously seeks to transcend the distortions and distractions that were intentionally built into Settler Canadian culture across centuries.

Abstract

"The presence and experiences of Black people at elite universities have been largely underrepresented and erased from institutional histories. This book engages with a collection of these experiences that span half a century and reflect differences in class, gender, and national identifications among Black scholars. By mapping Black people's experiences of studying and teaching at McGill University, this book reveals how the "whiteness" of the university both includes and exceeds the racial identities of students and professors. It highlights the specific functions of Blackness and of anti-Blackness within society in general and within the institution of higher education in particular, demonstrating how structures and practices of the university reproduce interlocking systems of oppression that uphold racial capitalism, reproduce colonial relations, and promote settler nationalism. Critically engaging the work of Black learners, academics, organizers, and activists within this dynamic political context, this book underscores the importance of Black Studies across North America."--
