Summary:
Ice animates the look and feel of climate change. It is melting faster than ever before, causing social upheaval among northern coastal communities and disrupting a more southern, temperate world as sea levels rise.

Summary:
Ice animates the look and feel of climate change. It is melting faster than ever before, causing social upheaval among northern coastal communities and disrupting a more southern, temperate world as sea levels rise. Economic, academic, and activist stakeholders are increasingly focused on the unsettling potential of ice as they plan for a future shaped by rapid transformation. Yet, in "Ice geographies," Jen Rose Smith demonstrates that ice has always been at the center of making sense of the world. Ice as homeland is often at the heart of Arctic and sub-Arctic ontologies, cosmologies, and Native politics. Reflections on ice have also long been a constitutive element of Western political thought, but it often privileges a pristine or empty "nature" stripped of power relations. Smith centers ice to study race and indigeneity by investigating ice relations as sites and sources of analysis that are bound up with colonial and racial formations as well as ice geographies beyond those formations. Smith asks, How is ice a racialized geography and imaginary, and how does it also exceed those frameworks?

Summary:
La case obus est cette forme architecturale si singulière qu’elle avait marqué André Gide et Marc Allégret lors de leur séjour en Afrique (Carnets du Congo, 1927). Notées par tous les voyageurs et missionnaires comme formes inédites, ces architectures ont été attestées dans le Nord Cameroun et au Tchad, régions des Musgums, peuple de pêcheurs et d’éleveurs de poneys, avant de disparaître.Véritable curiosité coloniale, elles ont suscité de nombreuses descriptions imagées : « poterie cuite par le soleil ardent », « pains de sucre », « coquille d’œuf » ; mais le terme « case obus » s’est vite imposé, à cause de la métaphore de l’obus pour les premiers observateurs, tous militaires. Ces cases étaient construites dans un mélange de terre et d’herbe, sur un plan circulaire, par superposition d’assises successives, pour des unités pouvant atteindre quinze à vingt mètres de hauteur. Cet ouvrage propose une redécouverte de cette architecture. D’abord par une approche historique du peuple Musgum et des formes d’habitat rencontrées dans la région. Ensuite par le compte rendu d’un chantier-école mené par Patrimoine sans frontières, qui a conduit à la construction de cinq cases obus grâce à une redécouverte des savoir-faire locaux. Outre la description détaillée des techniques constructives originales que cette forme spectaculaire impose, le livre aborde les problèmes liés à la transmission des savoirs dans les sociétés traditionnelles et à la résurgence puis l’appropriation d’espaces inscrits dans la mémoire collective des Musgums.

Summary:
Of the fifty religious buildings discussed in this book, only a precious few remain standing despite the fact that Montreal boasts one of the largest and most eclectic groupings of Georgian and Victorian structures of any city in North America. Following the British conquest of New France in 1759 a remarkable series of transformations took place in the small, Catholic trading town of Montreal. Given the diversity of settlers forced to live side by side, the new church buildings that were to rise became strategic public spaces, meeting places as well as power bases. It was no wonder that by the time Mark Twain toured Canada’s first metropolis in the 1880s, he found that one could not throw a brick in the place without breaking a church window. By addressing the social, religious and architectural issues surrounding these colonial-era structures, it will become apparent that Montreal was at once a shining jewel in England’s imperial crown, a chief outpost of Catholicism in the New World, as well as the British North American headquarters for more than a dozen independent congregations.
