In the Courts of Three Popes: An American Lawyer and Diplomat in the Last Absolute Monarchy of the West
Par Mary Ann Glendon. 2024
A rare firsthand account of the three popes who worked to modernize the Catholic Church—and to evangelize the modern world—from…
a renowned international lawyer, Harvard law professor, and former ambassador to the Vatican&“Mary Ann Glendon&’s book joyfully, and with humility, brings us inside her deft, grace-filled, and brilliant public diplomacy career.&”—Mike Pompeo, former U.S. secretary of stateFor twenty centuries, the Catholic Church has radically shaped world history—and survived it. In the decades following the Second Vatican Council, three popes have carried forward this legacy, striving to lead the Church and its governing body—the last absolute monarchy of the West—into the modern world.With In the Courts of Three Popes, accomplished diplomat, international lawyer, and Harvard professor Mary Ann Glendon gives readers a rare inside look at the papacies of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis. She shares her role in key developments in the Church&’s recent history, like the Church entering the third millennium, in Pope John Paul II&’s words, on its knees in penance for failures such as clergy sex abuse, or in leading the way for lay women to hold positions of power in the Church. Glendon illuminates the issues vexing the Church today: the place of faith in secular politics, relating the Church to other religions, clericalism and the power of laypeople, and corruption at the Vatican Bank and within the Roman Curia.Glendon provides a one-of-a-kind analysis of the inner workings of the Holy See, showing readers that, despite its many failings, the Catholic Church is a living, breathing community. Behind the Church&’s doctrines and policies and institutions lie people, personalities, aspirations, and relationships that still promise to transform lives.Divine Lives: The Descending Current of Bhakti
Par Mandala Publishing. 2024
Divine Lives recounts the lives and teachings of the venerated spiritual masters His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati…
Gosvami Thakura, the founder acarya of the entire Gaudiya community, and His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Gosvami Thakura, the founding acarya of Sri Gopinatha Gaudiya Matha. The Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition stresses the importance for spiritual seekers to receive transcendental knowledge in a bona-fide current of devotion. Genuine spiritual teachers retain the power and glory of this divine flow in their hearts and manifest it through their unadulterated words and proper conduct. Divine Lives highlights the descriptions of two such sublime personalities, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Thakura, and his disciple, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Gosvami Thakura. In the time of the Gaudiya revolution led by Srila Prabhupada, Srila B. P. Puri Goswami carried a pen and paper wherever he went. His impeccable notes from that time will surely be of great service for many generations to come. Some of his writings are included within in the form of heart-touching glorifications to his spiritual master that have been organized into separate categories for the reader's benefit. After the biography of Srila Prabhupada and an autobiography of Srila B. P. Puri Goswami, Divine Lives concludes with the words of Srila B. P. Puri Goswami Thakura&’s successor and disciple, Srila B. B. Bodhayan Maharaja. In this last section, we learn specific details about Srila B. P. Puri Goswami&’s first meetings with Srila Prabhupada and how he joined this spiritual movement. Also included within are historical articles from the Gaudiya and Chaitanya Vani that have been translated from the original Bengali into English for the first time, as well as rare photos and artifacts from this transformational time in Gaudiya history.The Routledge Research in Religion and Education series aims at advancing public understanding and dialogue on issues at the intersections…
of religion and education. These issues emerge in various venues and proposals are invited from work in any such arena: public or private education at elementary, secondary, or higher education institutions; non-school or community organizations and settings; and formal or informal organizations or groups with religion or spirituality as an integral part of their work. Book proposals are invited from diverse methodological approaches and theoretical and ideological perspectives. This series does not address the work of formal religious institutions including churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples. Rather, it focuses on the beliefs and values arising from all traditions as they come into contact with educational work in the public square.

Par Jeff D'Hondt. 2024
Revived from a coma after a traumatic event, Megan’s injuries leave her capable of great violence, forcing her desperate physician…
Cassandra to recruit Alison, an Indigenous clinician, as her consultant. Alison uses an innovative form of technologically enhanced expressive arts therapy to augment the rehabilitative effects of speaking Lenape, their shared (and almost extinct) language. However, this reminder of cultural expression and identity triggers Megan, putting herself into a life-threatening situation. With Megan’s safety in jeopardy, Alison must internalize a life-changing lesson to save her: pain is often unjust, but it also reminds us that we’re alive.Everything I Couldn’t Tell You is a potent reminder of the healing and rehabilitative power within Indigenous languages.Entendiendo el Poder del Espíritu Santo

Par A. J. Parr. 2018
7 LECCIONES CON EJERCICIOS PARA DETENER EL PARLOTEO MENTAL Y EMPEZAR A VIVIR EN EL AHORA (LIBRO DE EJERCICIOS PARA…
PRINCIPIANTES) ESTAS PÁGINAS CONTIENEN siete lecciones con ejercicios básicos que puedes utilizar AHORA para ralentizar y detener el parloteo mental y empezar a experimentar “el Ahora”; una práctica que puede proporcionarte paz interior y alegría A PARTIR DE HOY. Presenta los principios, conceptos y métodos básicos de las enseñanzas espirituales de Eckhart Tolle, el Dalai Lama, Krishnamurti y el Maestro Eckhart, entre otros muchos, basados en la premisas de que “En esencia hay y ha habido siempre sólo una enseñanza espiritual, aunque viene en muchas formas”. Se trata realmente de un libro de ejercicios para principiantes recomendado para quienes buscan la Verdad, desean escapar de la ilusión y experimentar la alegría de la paz interior que solo trae Vivir en “El Ahora”. Las siete lecciones espirituales con ejercicios que encontrarás en este libro están basadas en las antiguas premisas: *El sufrimiento humano y la infelicidad son producto de nuestra “mente parlante”, la cual produce continuamente un diálogo o parloteo interno que nos impide experimentar el Ahora. *Existe una manera de reducir y detener ese parloteo mental. Cuando aprendas cómo hacerlo podrás reducirlo y detenerlo según lo necesites (sobre todo cuando realmente necesites detener la ansiedad y el sufrimiento auto-infligido). *No podrás detener por completo los pensamientos ni tampoco se trata de eso. Incluso los seres iluminados necesitan vivir e interactuar en sociedad, como todos los seres humanos. *Al reducir el parloteo mental, conseguirás que los pensamientos pierdan poder. Los reconocerás simplemente como “ilusiones”, es decir, como productos de un fenómeno psicológico común entre los humanos y supuestamente conocido en la India desde tiempos prehistóricos: el fenómeno de la ilusiónL’empio cammino di un avventuriero riluttante
Par Dr Rosie Kuhn. 2023
Neanche in un milione di anni avrei sognato una vita simile per me. Da bambina immaginavo solo di sposarmi il…
prima possibile, avere dei figli e vivere per sempre felice e contenta. Fine della storia. Qualcuno, non so chi, deve avermi lanciato una maledizione, quella che dice: "Che tu possa avere una vita interessante". Per quale altro motivo una brava ragazza cattolica dovrebbe finire per avere una vita come questa? Cosa avrebbe spinto la figlia di un medico del Midwest a fare il tipo di scelte che ho fatto io? Scegliere una vita come madre non affidataria di bambini, attraversare l'Oceano Atlantico su una goletta di ventotto metri, acquisire tre lauree magistrali e un dottorato e scrivere un libro sull'autoimprenditorialità... Cosa è successo al mio sogno di essere una mamma felice che gioca con i suoi figli? Sono abbastanza sicura che sia stata una maledizione. Raramente siamo in grado di comprendere lo svolgersi della nostra storia finché non cogliamo l'opportunità di guardarci indietro e di esserne testimoni.The Forgotten Peace: Mediation at Niagara Falls (Governance Series)
Par Michael Small. 2009
In the early hours of April 22, 1914, American President Woodrow Wilson sent Marines to seize the port of Veracruz…
in an attempt to alter the course of the Mexican Revolution. As a result, the United States seemed on the brink of war with Mexico. An international uproar ensued. The governments of Argentina, Brazil, and Chile offered to mediate a peaceful resolution to the crisis. Surprisingly, both the United States and Mexico accepted their offer and all parties agreed to meet at an international peace conference in Niagara Falls, Ontario. For Canadians, the conference provided an unexpected spectacle on their doorstep, combining high diplomacy and low intrigue around the gardens and cataracts of Canada's most famous natural attraction. For the diplomats involved, it proved to be an ephemeral high point in the nascent pan-American movement. After it ended, the conference dropped out of historical memory. This is the first full account of the Niagara Falls Peace Conference to be published in North America since 1914. The author carefully reconstructs what happened at Niagara Falls, examining its historical significance for Canada's relationship with the Americas. From this almost forgotten event he draws important lessons on the conduct of international mediation and the perils of middle-power diplomacy.Tours et détours: Le mythe de Babel dans la littérature contemporaine
Par Catherine Khordoc. 2012
Tours et détours examine l’inscription du mythe de Babel dans la littérature contemporaine de langue française. Le mythe s’avère une…
source d’inspiration pour les auteurs examinés qui évoquent justement des phénomènes sociaux actuels, tels que le multiculturalisme, l’immigration, l’exil, la pluralité des langues, la traduction et l’identité. Les ouvrages étudiés, tous écrits en français mais issus de différents contextes linguistiques et culturels, mettent en lumière de nouvelles interprétations du mythe de Babel. Pendant longtemps le mythe de Babel et la pluralité linguistique et culturelle qui s’ensuivent ont été considérés une malédiction pour l’humanité, mais les romans à l’étude remettent en question cette vision négative. Sans exalter les bienfaits de la multiplicité, ils considèrent comment la pluralité linguistique et culturelle enrichit et façonne la production littéraire ainsi que le monde contemporain. Les auteurs et œuvres étudiés sont • Monique Bosco, Babel-Opéra • Hédi Bouraoui, Ainsi parle la tour CN • Francine Noël, Babel, prise deux ou Nous avons tous découvert l’Amérique • Ernest Pépin, Tambour-Babel • Jorge Semprun, L’AlgarabieDouble-Voicing the Canadian Short Story (Canadian Literature Collection)
Par Laurie Kruk. 2016
Double-Voicing the Canadian Short Story is the first comparative study of eight internationally and nationally acclaimed writers of short fiction:…
Sandra Birdsell, Timothy Findley, Jack Hodgins, Thomas King, Alistair MacLeod, Olive Senior, Carol Shields and Guy Vanderhaeghe. With the 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature going to Alice Munro, the “master of the contemporary short story,” this art form is receiving the recognition that has been its due and—as this book demonstrates—Canadian writers have long excelled in it. From theme to choice of narrative perspective, from emphasis on irony, satire and parody to uncovering the multiple layers that make up contemporary Canadian English, the short story provides a powerful vehicle for a distinctively Canadian “double-voicing”. The stories discussed here are compelling reflections on our most intimate roles and relationships and Kruk offers a thoughtful juxtaposition of themes of gender, mothers and sons, family storytelling, otherness in Canada and the politics of identity to name but a few. As a multi-author study, Double-Voicing the Canadian Short Story is broad in scope and its readings are valuable to Canadian literature as a whole, making the book of interest to students of Canadian literature or the short story, and to readers of both.Les écritures noires du Canada: L'Atlantique noir et la présence du passé (Études canadiennes)
Par Winfried Siemerling. 2021
The Black Atlantic Reconsidered is the first comprehensive work to explore Black Canadian literature from its beginnings to the present…
in the broader context of the Black Atlantic world. Winfried Siemerling traces the evolution of black Canadian witnessing and writing from slave testimony in New France and the 1783 "Book of Negroes" through the work of contemporary black Canadian writers including Austin Clarke, George Elliott Clarke, Dionne Brand, Wayde Compton, and Esi Edugyan.Arguing that Black writing in Canada is deeply imbricated in a historic transnational network, Winfried Siemerling explores the powerful presence of Black Canadian history, slavery, the Underground Railroad, and the Black diaspora in the work of contemporary Black Canadian writers.Individual chapters examine the literature that has emerged from Quebec, Nova Scotia, the Prairies, and British Columbia, with attention to writing in both English and French.Les littératures franco-canadiennes à l’épreuve du temps (Archives des lettres canadiennes)
Par Marie Carrière, Grégoire Holtz, Kathleen Kellett, Louise Ladouceur, Jean Morency, Pamela Sing, Jimmy Thibault, Emmanuelle Tremblay. 2017
Finaliste, Prix du Canada 2018, Fédération des sciences humaines « Les littératures de l’exiguïté, dont font partie les ensembles littéraires…
franco-canadiens, restent fascinées par les sémantiques de l’espace. Elles en oublient leur longue histoire et renoncent, par là, aux riches taxonomies liées au passé collectif et à la mémoire, tant elles s’entêtent à coïncider avec les territoires imaginés, géographiques et identitaires, où elles s’inscrivent. » Lucie Hotte et François Paré ont réuni des études qui témoignent du dynamisme de l’activité littéraire franco-canadienne marquée par l’histoire, mais aussi représentative de l’image que chacune des collectivités se fait d’elle-même et de son avenir. Les œuvres analysées illustrent la recherche esthétique d’une grande originalité, menée par les écrivains franco-canadiens dans des conditions souvent difficiles sur le plan des institutions littéraires et des moyens de publication ou de diffusion. Cet ouvrage réunit les textes de Marie Carrière, Jeanette den Toonder, Grégoire Holtz, Lucie Hotte, Kathleen Kellett, Louise Ladouceur, Jean Morency, François Paré, Pamela V. Sing, Jimmy Thibeault et Emmanuelle Tremblay. En somme, une multiplicité de regards et une synthèse unique sur la francophonie canadienne durant plus de quatre siècles d’écriture. Une coédition avec le Centre de recherche en civilisation canadienne-française.L’avenir du passé: Identité, mémoire et récits de la jeunesse québécoise et franco-ontarienne (Amérique française)
Par Stéphane Lévesque, Jean-Philippe Croteau. 2020
L’avenir du passé présente les résultats d’une vaste enquête sur la mémoire et la conscience historique du Canada français au…
sein de la jeunesse francophone du Québec et de l’Ontario. L’enquête soulève la question du rapport que des jeunes milléniaux entretiennent avec le passé des francophones au pays et se dotent d’une vision narrative pour orienter leur vie de citoyen et de membre d’une communauté d’appartenance. Plus de 600 récits forment un corpus original qui met en perspective les résultats obtenus au sein de chaque groupe. L’enquête permet de valider le postulat selon lequel les participants de ces deux provinces partagent un récit commun de l’histoire nationale et s’identifient aux mêmes communautés d’appartenance. L’ouvrage nous entraine également au cœur d’une vaste réflexion sur la transmission de l’histoire nationale chez les jeunes en contexte francophone canadien. Quelle place devrait occuper les enquêtes comme celle-ci dans l’éducation historique des jeunes ? Comment l’école peut-elle favoriser la construction d’une conscience historique plus réfléchie et l’élaboration de narrations plus complexes, actualisées, et ouvertes aux réalités multiples de notre monde ?

Par Jean-Pierre Pichette, Michel Bock, Marcel Bénéteau, Simon Laflamme, Yves Frenette, Julie Boissonneault, Ali Reguigui. 2020
Fondée à Sudbury en 1992, la Société Charlevoix est un regroupement d’universitaires qui se consacrent à des travaux savants sur…
l’Ontario français. Par son nom, la Société honore la mémoire du jésuite Pierre-François-Xavier de Charlevoix (1682-1761), qui a laissé des observations remarquables sur le territoire ontarien. Limités en tout temps à dix en nombre, ses membres examinent les réalités franco-ontariennes selon les perspectives variées qu’apportent leurs disciplines. Leur élection se fait par cooptation, à l’unanimité des voix. Depuis 1995, la Société Charlevoix publie les Cahiers Charlevoix. Études franco-ontariennes, un collectif exclusivement dévolu à la diffusion des travaux de ses membres. Depuis leur création, nos Cahiers Charlevoix n’ont jamais comporté plus de six essais. La présente livraison, la treizième de la série, en compte sept : précédant les six études courantes de 2020, l’hommage rendu à un membre émérite disparu, Gaétan Gervais, commandait cette première. Publiée sous le patronage de la Société Charlevoix, l’édition de ce treizième Cahier Charlevoix est le fruit d’une entente entre la Société Charlevoix et les Presses de l’Université d’Ottawa. Ce livre est publié en français.The 1940 Under the Volcano: A Critical Edition (Canadian Literature Collection)
Par Malcolm Lowry. 2015
The 1940 Under the Volcano—hidden for too long in the shadows of Lowry’s 1947 masterpiece—differs from the latter in significant…
ways. It is a bridge between Lowry’s 1930s fiction (especially In Ballast to the White Sea) and the 1947 Under the Volcano itself. Joining the recently published Swinging the Maelstrom and In Ballast to the White Sea, The 1940 Under the Volcano takes its rightful place as part of Lowry’s exciting 1930s/early-40s trilogy. Scholars have only recently begun to pay systematic attention to convergences and divergences between this earlier work and the 1947 version. Miguel Mota and Paul Tiessen’s insightful introduction, together with extensive annotations by Chris Ackerley and David Large, reveal the depth and breadth of Lowry’s complex vision for his work. This critical edition fleshes out our sense of the enormous achievement by this twentieth-century modernist.Publié en anglais.La famille Fermanian: L’histoire du cinéma Pine de Sainte-Adèle (Biographies et mémoires #9)
Par Stéphane Desjardins. 2022
In 1948, penniless immigrant Philip Fermanian opened the Cinema Pine in Saint-Adèle, a movie theatre that would hold a unique…
place in the North American film industry. In this book, author Stéphane Desjardins tells the story of the Fermanian family, whose patriarch left Turkey during the Armenian genocide of the 1920s and settled in the Pays-d’en-Haut, where he hoped to farm the land. Stuck with a rocky plot of land, the Fermanians had to earn a living by the sweat of their brow and reinvented themselves by selling produce. The story takes an unexpected turn when a young woman from Saint-Adèle named Aurore (you cannot make this stuff up), accepts to marry Philip Fermanian on one condition: he will open a movie theatre. Their union produces two sons, only one of whom, Tom, will survive. Tom grows up in the family apartment above the movie theatre, his childhood resembling that of the Salvatore character in the film Cinema Paradiso. The Fermanians’ story evokes various important events in Saint-Adèle’s history, and the author’s references to the films shown at The Pine are a nod to the film industry and its stars.A Journey in Translation: Anne Hébert's Poetry in English (Canadian Literature Collection)
Par Lee Skallerup Bessette. 2016
This book traces the remarkable journey of Hébert’s shifting authorial identity as versions of her work traveled through complex and…
contested linguistic and national terrain from the late 1950s until today. At the center of this exploration of Hébert’s work are the people who were inspired by her poetry to translate and more widely disseminate her poems to a wider audience. Exactly how did this one woman’s work travel so much farther than the vast majority of Québécois authors? Though the haunting quality of her art partly explains her wide appeal, her work would have never traveled so far without the effort of scores of passionately committed translators, editors, and archivists. Though the work of such “middle men” is seldom recognized, much less scrutinized as a factor in shaping the meaning and reach of an artist, in Herbert’s case, the process of translating Hébert’s poetry has left in its wake a number of archival and other paratextual resources that chronicle the individual acts of translation and their reception. Though the impact of translation, editions, and archival work has been largely ignored in studies of Canadian literary history, the treasure trove of such paratextual records in Hébert’s case allows us to better understand the reach of her work. More importantly, it provides insight into and raises critical questions about the textually mediated process of nation-building and literary canon formation.Entre lieux et mémoire: L'inscription de la francophonie canadienne dans la durée (Collection Amérique française)
Par Gilbert, Anne; Bock, Michel; Thériault, Joseph-Yvon. 2009
Dans Les lieux de mémoire, Pierre Nora affirme que « la mémoire s'enracine dans le concret, l'espace, le geste, l'image…
et l'objet » (1984, xix). Entre lieux et mémoire adopte une perspective semblable et jette un regard sur les expériences concrètes, géographiquement situées, par lesquelles les francophones du Canada construisent leur identité à partir des réminiscences de leur passé. Ce questionnement est essentiel, car la géographie de la francophonie canadienne évolue rapidement, consolidée au Québec au cours notamment des dernières cinquante années, mais fragilisée dans les milieux les plus dynamiques de la francophonie hors Québec, là où les francophones se confrontent quotidiennement à l'Autre : anglophone, immigrant et allophone. Dans ces lieux consolidés et fluides se tissent les appartenances et les identités de ceux qui les occupent. Les auteurs abordent les lieux de mémoire du Canada français selon trois approches : l'histoire, la géographie et les arts. Tous mettent en évidence que la fondation d'un lieu de mémoire est un acte politique. Enfin, ils montrent qu'une étude des lieux de mémoire, par l'entremise des individus et des groupes qui les instituent, constitue un préalable à la compréhension de l'identité francophone canadienne, dans son unité comme dans sa diversité.
