À partir des années 1590, le duel macule les planches des théâtres londoniens du sang de personnages risquant leur vie sur le pré. Âge d’or du théâtre anglais, les XVIe et XVIIe siècles, période à laquelle Marlowe, Shakespeare, Beaumont et Fletcher écrivent pour la scène, sont aussi l’époque à laquelle le duel atteint son paroxysme dans le royaume insulaire. La présente thèse se veut une exploration de la relation entre le duel et la scène. Plus précisément, elle a comme objet d’étude la représentation du combat singulier au sein de la littérature dramatique anglaise, l’image qui en était véhiculée sur les planches et la conception que se faisaient les dramaturges de la pratique.

Canada’s Jewish population is growing slowly and aging rapidly. However, the national portrait may hide great variation across different contexts. This article examines Canada’s tenth largest Jewish community, that of London, Ontario. First, I highlight the size of the Jewish community according to different measures and how it’s changed between 2001 and 2021. Next, I examine the households in which London’s Jews live and what we can learn about changes in the characteristics of Jewish households and their members. This detailed analysis of the Canadian long-form census data highlights challenges and opportunities for local Jewish community leaders and institutions.

AbstractRural Canadian communities underwent profound changes as they adapted to the economic and social context after World War II. Those changes, may be described, using John Shaver's phrase, as a "Great Disjuncture". From a "centrist" point-of-view Canadian farms became more fully mechanized, products commodified and farm goals integrated with government policy. This paper focuses on the "local experience" of the "Great Disjuncture". Its subject is the Rural Municipality of Hanover in Manitoba, an ethnic community, dominated by Low German-speaking Mennonites. In Hanover traditional social relations, both on the primary level affecting gender and on the community level affecting the very idea of rurality, entered a dialectical relationship with the forces for change to create a particular localized culture. Here was an instance of cultural re-creation.

In his film Invincible, the German director, Werner Herzog presents the legend of Zishe Breibart, a Jew with superhuman strength. According to the author, the dramatic elements of the images filmed by Herzog and the original music of the film created by Hans Zimmer together serve to enhance the heroic dimension of the actor and call Wagnerian opera to mind. After comparing the composition process of the music in the film and post-Romantic writing, the article does a comparative analysis of the music and the pictures to illustrate how the music in the film provides focused support for the Wagnerian myth. Finally, the article describes in detail the repercussions of the subterfuge presented by Herzog, which turns a Jew into a national hero at the dawn of the Nazi era.
