While translation in Canada has long been subordinated to history and the policies of bilingualism, it only became an academic discipline in its own right in the 1970s. In its early days, translator training took center stage as can be seen from the multitude of training manuals published at the time. Reflections on translation history, theory and criticism began to emerge in the 1990s alongside the consolidation, on the international scene, of Translation Studies as a full-fledged discipline. Translation Studies evolved in Canada with the reinforcement of the theoretical component in the different Master's level programs and the opening of doctoral programs. The creation of the Canadian Association for Translation Studies and the publication of its journal, TTR, sealed the autonomy of the discipline. An analysis of the books published by Canadian translation scholars between 1970 and 2017 will reveal major research interests and their evolution.

The “Loi établissant le service de l'assistance publique” (Public Welfare Act) sparked considerable controversy after its adoption in 1921. The Act provided for provincial and municipal grants to private and religious institutions providing shelter to the poor and destitute. Led by Henri Bourassa, among others, the debate concerned the problem of state intervention in an area traditionally conceived of as the responsibility of the Church. In contradiction to Bourassa's theories, most historians analyzed the Act through the rubric of modernization as a necessary affirmation of State prerogatives in the area of social protection. In this article, we argue that this Act is an attempt (largely successful) to consolidate a form of liberal governmentality based on, since the 19th century, what Karl Polanyi termed “the figure of the pauper.” According to this perspective, the 1921 Act is not a significant stage in the age-old struggle between Church and State, but rather a time of reform in liberal politics in regards to “the indigent.” The latter, leggally defined as unable to work and without family support, and therefore “outside of society,” an expression of the day, allowed justifying the development of a private/public system of charitable assistance against the project of social policies founded on a universal conception of social rights. The article presents this dynamic through an analysis of the contentious issue of the rights of indigents to public assistance.

This article explores the foundation of a French Canadian immigrant community in Palm Beach, Florida in the Post-war years. The arrival of an ever-growing contingent of tourists and snowbirds during the 1960s and 1970s transformed this community. Formerly focused on integration into American society, it now set out to create a francophone context well connected to French Canada. If economic imperatives often motivated this migration, the « fear » of winter also appears to be an element of continuity in French Canadian Florida.

The “unmarked whiteness” at the core of most Canadian and US university music programs is an example of racist policy. Anti-racist actions that identify, describe, and dismantle racism can be productively applied to music history courses by adopting strategies outlined in the work of Kyoko Kishimoto. By exploring knowledge production through the historiography of canonic music, challenging Eurocentrism by teaching Western music as “ethnic,” and dismantling the division of white and non-white musics into different disciplines, this article offers an approach to musicultural anti-racism.

During the period of Louis XIV’s reign as sole ruler of France and prior to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1661–1685)—years characterized by legal repression of the Reformist minority and uncertainty around the Edict’s régime of tolerance—provincial synods were the de facto representatives of the reformed Churches. Here, it was pastors, and more particularly moderators, who acted as the voice of their communities. Royal oversight was chiefly maintained by commissioners (including Catholics after 1679) who were present in the synods. The exchanges that took place between the moderators and the representatives of the king reveal how a discourse of submission to the monarchy was established and cultivated by the commissioners, while sometimes being conditioned or contested by the pastors, particularly in cases where freedom of conscience was threatened and divine law appeared to be impeded by royal decree.

After the Edict of Nantes is revoked, Protestantism is declared illegal in France, but Protestants gather for private or public clandestine worship services, creating a resistance movement. As the century of repression progresses, the resistance becomes more organized: from 1718 onwards, pastors are trained in Switzerland and sent back to France to oversee the clandestine churches. This study explores the objects used by the resistance, some allowing it to continue its illegal activities, others to hide its existence and protect the faithful. First of all, books enable Protestants to worship privately, within their homes. Secondly, as pastors begin overseeing public worship services, Protestants use liturgical objects, some of which are ingenuously hidden in their everyday life. Finally, Protestant houses are adapted to accommodate and hide clandestine activities.
