Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au cours des deux derniers siècles, la Banque de Montréal s’est trouvée au cœur du développement économique et financier du Canada. Publié à l’occasion du bicentenaire de la première banque canadienne, Un destin plus grand que soi puise dans l’iconographie de cette institution financière pour raconter son histoire de ses origines jusqu’à nos jours. Retraçant le passé de la Banque de Montréal grâce à des images d’objets, de ses dirigeants, de documents essentiels et de publicités aujourd’hui tombées dans l’oubli, Laurence B. Mussio illustre son émergence progressive. En dévoilant petit à petit sa perception de sa direction, sa culture, la communauté, ses triomphes et ses difficultés, il offre un aperçu de la personnalité de cette banque, de ses innovations, de ses technologies, de ses projets d’édification de la nation et de son héritage architectural. La mosaïque qui en résulte jette un éclairage unique sur l’expérience vécue par la Banque de Montréal au fil des ans. Si chacun des éléments visuels évoque un épisode particulier aussi divertissant qu’extraordinaire, collectivement, ces objets révèlent une histoire beaucoup plus complète. De la lecture de ce livre se dégage l’image d’une banque qui a façonné l’univers canadien et nord-américain tout en se laissant modeler par lui. À partir d’une gamme incroyablement vaste de documents, Un destin plus grand que soi célèbre l’évolution d’une banque et la manière dont elle a laissé sa marque.

Download or read book The French Historical Revolution written by Peter Burke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a critical history of the movement associated with the journal Annales, from its foundation in 1929 to the present. This movement has been the single most important force in the development of what is sometimes called ‘the new history’. Renowned cultural historian, Peter Burke, distinguishes between four main generations in the development of the Annales School. The first generation included Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch, who fought against the old historical establishment and founded the journal Annales to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. The second generation was dominated by Fernand Braudel, whose magnificent work on the Mediterranean has become a modern classic. The third generation, deeply associated with the ‘cultural turn’ in historical scholarship, includes recently well-known historians such as Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, Jacques Le Goff and Georges Duby. This new edition brings us right up to the present, and contemplates the work of a fourth generation, including practitioners such as Roger Chartier, Serge Gruzinski and Jacques Revel. This new generation continued much of the cultural focus of the previous Annales historians, while diversifying further, and becoming increasingly ‘reflexive’, a move that owes much to the sociocultural theories of Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau and Pierre Bourdieu. Wide-ranging yet concise, this new edition of a classic work of analysis of one of the most important historical movements of the twentieth century will be welcomed by students of history and other social sciences and by the interested general reader.
Download or read book Ideologies of Western Naval Power c 1500 1815 written by J.D. Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking book provides the first study of naval ideology, defined as the mass of cultural ideas and shared perspectives that, for early modern states and belief systems, justified the creation and use of naval forces. Sixteen scholars examine a wide range of themes over a wide time period and broad geographical range, embracing Britain, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Sweden, Russia, Venice and the United States, along with the "extra-national" polities of piracy, neutrality, and international Calvinism. This volume provides important and often provocative new insights into both the growth of western naval power and important elements of political, cultural and religious history.
Download or read book Manet and the Family Romance written by Nancy Locke and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Édouard Manet's paintings have long been recognized for being visually compelling and uniquely recalcitrant. While critics have noted the presence of family members and intimates in paintings such as Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, Nancy Locke takes an unprecedented look at the significance of the artist's family relationships for his art. Locke argues that a kind of mythology of the family, or Freudian family romance, frequently structures Manet's compositional decisions and choice of models. By looking at the representation of the family as a volatile mechanism for the development of sexuality and of repression, conflict, and desire, Locke brings powerful new interpretations to some of Manet's most complex works. Locke considers, for example, the impact of a father-son drama rooted in a closely guarded family secret: the adultery of Manet père and the status of Léon Leenhoff. Her nuanced exploration of the implications of this story--that Manet in fact married his father's mistress--makes us look afresh at even well-known paintings such as Olympia. This book sheds new light on Manet's infamous interest in gypsies, street musicians, and itinerants as Locke analyzes the activities of Manet's father as a civil judge. She also reexamines the close friendship between Manet and the Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot, who married Manet's brother. Morisot becomes the subject of a series of meditations on the elusiveness of the self, the transience of identity, and conflicting concerns with appearances and respectability. Manet and the Family Romance offers an entirely new set of arguments about the cultural forces that shaped these alluring paintings.
Download or read book Compel People to Come In written by Autori Vari and published by Viella Libreria Editrice. This book was released on 2020-03-11T12:37:00+01:00 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Compelle intrare”: since the time of St Augustine, St Luke’s words in the parable of the Banquet have served as a justification for forced conversion to Christianity. Challenging this tradition, in 1686 Pierre Bayle denounced how a literal interpretation of the parable had led to a long line of crimes, and argued that “nothing is more abominable than obtaining conversion by coercion”. In recent decades, scholarly research on conversion in the Early Modern Age has increasingly focused on intriguing aspects such as the fluidity of converts’ identity and their crossing of borders – both geographical and confessional. This book takes a different perspective and brings the focus back to the dark side of conversion, to the varying degrees of violence that accompanied Catholic missionary activities in the non-European World in the 16th and 17th centuries. The essays collected here examine three areas where, sometimes visibly, sometimes much more subtly, the violent aspects of conversion took shape: doctrine, missionary practice, and the conversion narratives. Investigating the connection between violence and conversion is a way to reflect not only on the early modern world, but also on that of the present day, when conversion – including by coercion – has yet again become a significant issue.
