AbstractABSTRACT« Neither Victors nor Vanquished » : The First Encounters Bet\veen Inuit Shamans and Missionaries in Three Canadian Arctic RégionsAdopting thé hypothesis that religious change is shaped by cultural schèmes. this paper focuses on thé first encounters between Inuit shamans and missionaries. Using a comparative perspective that takes its roots in structural history. thé process that urged thé Inuit shamans to convert is analysed. Comparing régional variations due to thé historical contacts and économie context. I outline thé main cultural logic guiding this process : relation and alliance with spirits. In this way. shamanism is characterized as a System naturally open to innovation. T\vo thèmes are particularly explored : how thèse encounters inform us about thé shamanistic system. and how thé syncretistic approach should be abandoned to thé benefit of clearest interprétations.Key words : Laugrand. Inuit. syncretism. shamanism. conversion, cultural schèmes. symbolic Systems. Canada

SUMMARYDFLE-type indicators correspond to a definition of functional health based on how individuals adapt to their environments and observations may thus vary over lime and geographically. The greater the range of individual function considered, that is, the farther away we moue from very severe forms of restriction such as being confined to room or bed or lack of mobility, the more variation we will see. Results will also vary with the type of activity considered, whatever the variations in observation and calculation methods. The health care system is always seeking new forms of equity and allocation, demands new indicators to describe variations in health, estimate and predict care and service requirements and, most important, justify choices in the volume, organisation and distribution (rationing) of resources. The system does, however, have problems dealing with the contradictory results and nuances inherent in this type of indicator. It may be expected that, as with ail health-related information, DFLE indicators will be used and interpreted in different ways, but that they will nevertheless influence expectations regarding the health care System and how it develops.

Neorealism and the English School depict Greco-Roman antiquity as a permanent state of war following a logic of ‘balance of power' analogous to the contemporary international system. For its part, constructivism emphasizes the practices of cooperation that regulated interactions between city-states rather than war itself. Through a comparative analysis of the different logics of territorial expansion developed in democratic Greece and the Roman Republic, this article offers an alternative conceptualization of the strategies of territorialization and accumulation that prevailed in Athens and Rome. Rooted in the tradition of historical sociology in international relations, this conceptualization highlights how military activities that complement capabilities of production and appropriation can take varied forms and can be best understood by analyzing the historical specificity of different social regimes of property
