Abstract

Although Herodot's dictum that "Egypt is a gift of the Nile" is proverbial, there has been only scant attention to the way the river impacted on ancient Egyptian society. Egyptologists frequently focus on the textual and iconographic record, whereas archaeologists and earth scientists approach the issue from the perspective of natural sciences. The contributions in this volume bridge this gap by analyzing the river both as a natural and as a cultural phenomenon. Adopting an approach of cultural ecology, it addresses issues like ancient land use, administration and taxation, irrigation, and religious concepts.

Abstract

Se plaçant dans une optique résolument matérialiste, l’auteur étude l’histoire socio-économique d’une communauté canadienne-française de la région de Sudbury entre 1890 et 1972. L’étude décrit le passage, après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, d’un mode de petite production indépendante au mode de production capitaliste et explique comment ce passage a affecté la vie des Canadiens français de Rayside-Balfour, à l’ouest de Sudbury. L’auteur concentre son attention sur la paroisse, les rapports de production et de propriété, le pouvoir religieux et laïque, et l’évolution démographique de cette population de langue française. L’ouvrage utilise de nombreux documents, pour la plupart inédits, tels que les titres de propriété du Bureau d’enregistrement des titres du district du Sudbury, les données des rôles d’évaluation, les registres des deux paroisses de langue française, les procès-verbeaux des réunions des conseils municipaux et des « Timber Books » du district de Sudbury. Des histoires de vie de pionniers et pionnières de la communauté révèlent comment ces gens ont perçu et vécu cette période de transition.

Abstract

Drawing on many archival findings, this book considers the emerging function and status of orchestral conductors in Britain, and the nature of the opportunities available to them, from the late Victorian era until the outbreak of World War I. It does so by examining and comparing the profiles and impact of eight men whose work supplied the needs of a variety of institutions across the period but whose significant contributions were overshadowed by the emergence of virtuoso interpreters. The conducting activities of Julius Benedict, William Cusins, Joseph Barnby, Arthur Sullivan, Frederic Cowen, Alexander Mackenzie, Dan Godfrey and Landon Ronald provide a lens through which the evolution of conducting as a profession is traced. At the British Empire's height their work was shaped by and enriched the cultural life of the nation. During a period of intense activity and development, their portfolios of engagements and working patterns shed light on the infrastructures within the music business. By focusing on the fortunes and agency of conductors resident within the marketplace, this book deepens our understanding of the internal networks, influences and priorities within musical lifein Britain in the late nineteenth century.
