Abstract

Hugh Dempsey has for decades been one of Alberta's most prolific and influential public historians. Author of more than twenty books, he has also been "in on the ground floor" of the development of many key Alberta institutions, including the Indian Association of Alberta, the Historical Society of Alberta, and most importantly, the Glenbow Museum. Now, in his own words, he recounts his interesting and varied careers as journalist, government publicity writer, popular historian, archivist and museum administrator, speaker, and lecturer. Beginning with a compelling account of his childhood in Edmonton in the 1930s when his family was for a time on relief during the Depression and his 1940s teenage escapades hitchhiking across the continent, Dempsey's narrative moves into the frenetic world of post-war urban journalism. A fateful chance assignment as a reporter for the Edmonton Bulletin in February 1950 led to his involvement with the fledgling Indian Association of Alberta, its secretary John Laurie, president James Gladstone, and Gladstone's daughter Pauline, whom Dempsey would eventually marry. This in turn led to a strong interest in First Nations culture and biography through which Dempsey was able to combine oral history with scholarly records to produce historical writing with a broad popular appeal. During the 1950s, Dempsey helped design early provincial historical recognition programs and began his lifelong involvement with the Historical Society of Alberta. In 1956 he joined the Glenbow Foundation (later Glenbow Museum), where for the next thirty-five years he would play a crucial part in its growth and reputation for excellence, designing and managing the Glenbow Archives and eventually serving as Acting Director of the Museum before retiring in 1991. Written with the trademark Hugh Dempsey eye for detail and lively anecdote, this memoir will be essential and enjoyable reading for anyone interested in western and First Nations history and the growth of key Alberta cultural institutions.

Abstract

L'itineraire de Vivant Denon (1747-1825) est marque de fluctuations et d'eclipses au cours des deux siecles qui nous separent de cette figure evanescente et infiniment complexe. La perception qui s'en degage fait apparaitre une personnalite dont le talent est a la fois creatif et politique pour avoir su traverser le temps des differents regimes de l'histoire en marche.Vivant Denon a d'abord t considr comme le premier chroniqueur de l'expdition d'gypte, la fois dessinateur et graveur. Puis, l'ambitieux directeur du muse Napolon, l'actuel muse du Louvre, va organiser les saisies d'A uvres d'art travers l'Europe occupe. Au cours du xxe sicle, Vivant Denon va tre peru essentiellement comme le libertin du xviiie de sa jeunesse. S'impose alors l'image exclusive de l'auteur du conte rotique Point de lendemain.Dans les annes 1990, Milan Kundera dans La Lenteur (1995) et Philippe Sollers dans Le Cavalier du Louvre. Vivant Denon (1747-1825), de mme que les grands vnements, exposition et colloque, organiss en 1999-2000 par le muse du Louvre, vont permettre de dcouvrir les multiples vies de Vivant Denon. De la cour de Louis XV la Restauration, il ne cessa d'entretenir des relations diverses mais toujours troites avec les pouvoirs successifs.C'est cette vritable pope qui traverse l'histoire des diffrents rgimes politiques de son existence que l'auteur nous donne suivre pour rvler un Vivant Denon talentueux, habile et fantasque la fois.
