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.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une certaine idee de l'Europe nait avec Charlemagne et depuis ce neuvieme siecle medieval jusqu'a nos jours, la pensee italienne a faconne la culture europeenne de facon profonde et decisive. La pensee italienne, comme elle s'est deployee au cours de l'histoire dans les sciences, la philosophie et les arts, a ete largement assimilee, amendee et transposee dans la plupart des pays de l'Europe. C'est en Italie que naissent les universites, que la vie monastique a ete inventee par Saint Benoit, que la civilisation communale jusqu'a l'invention des banques a pris son essor. Depuis Florence, Venise et Rome, la Renaissance et l'Humanisme conquierent la France, l'Angleterre et les pays du Nord. La nouvelle vision du monde et de la societe, de Machiavel a Giurdano Bruno, de Galileo a Vico, s'implantera dans l'esprit europeen. Au vingtieme siecle, des penseurs et des mouvements politiques italiens ont eu un impact considerable sur l'histoire de la gauche et de la droite europeenne, tandis que l'eclosion des arts (cinema, theatre, musique, architecture) n'ont cesse de fasciner l'Europe entiere. Le present volume contient les Actes du colloque La contribution de la pensee italienne a la culture europeenne, qui s'est deroule du 6 au 8 novembre 2003 au Palais des Beaux-Arts dans le cadre d'Europalia-Italia. Preside par Umberto Eco, le colloque a fait appel a une serie de conferenciers de renommee internationale (Claudio Leonardi, Costantino Marmo, Maria Teresa Fumagalli, Rudi Imbach, Gilbert Tournoy, Jean-Jacques Marchand, Lina Bolzoni, Andrea Battistini, Pietro Corsi, Jean Weisgerber, David Forgacs).

Download or read book Accounting for Culture written by Caroline Andrew and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.
