In Revolution or Renaissance, D. Paul Schafer subjects two of the most powerful forces in the world – economics and culture – to a detailed and historically sensitive analysis. He argues that the economic age has produced a great deal of wealth and unleashed tremendous productive power; however, it is not capable of coming to grips with the problems threatening human and non-human life on this planet. After tracing the evolution of the economic age from the publication of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations in 1776 to the present, he turns his attention to culture, examining it both as a concept and as a reality. What emerges is a portrait of the world system of the future where culture is the central focus of development. According to Schafer, making the transition from an economic age to a cultural age is imperative if global harmony, environmental sustainability, economic viability, and human well-being are to be achieved.

L’ouvrage propose trois axes de réflexion sur le concept de transfert. Dans la première partie du volume, Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink évoque les changements contemporains qui augmentent les communications interculturelles. Walter Moser examine l’histoire des concepts et explore la possibilité de faire du « transfert culturel » un instrument qui permettrait de rendre compte de la grande mobilité culturelle que nous observons de nos jours à l’échelle mondiale. Pierre Lévy donne à cette exploration conceptuelle la plus grande amplitude en la déplaçant vers le domaine général du transfert des informations.

La deuxième partie, « Le transfert et les savoirs », occupe le gros de l’ouvrage. Daniel Simeoni y explore la traductologie en documentant le parallélisme des concepts de traduction et de transfert. Dans la psychanalyse, tant comme site du savoir que comme pratique, le transfert a une longue histoire conceptuelle; Ellen Corin ouvre pourtant le dialogue à d’autres savoirs et disciplines et évoque la possibilité de déplacer latéralement les acquis de sa réflexion vers le domaine de l’anthropologie. En matière de droit criminel, Alvaro Pires explore des questions théoriques et méthodologiques du transfert, étayant ses propos d’exemples. Nicolas Goyer fait la distinction entre le « transfert généalogique » et le « transfert migratoire » pour illustrer la nécessité de contester la priorité qu’on a longtemps accordée au transfert intergénérationnel.

La troisième partie explore l’imbrication des transferts et des médias. Timothy Murray explore le new media art, où se croisent le politique, le médiaticotechnologique, le psychanalytique et l’interculturel. Wolfgang Ernst s’interroge sur le « transfert » au confluent de l’ethnologie, l’ethnographie, la muséologie, l’histoire et l’analyse des cultures, en regard de la théorie et de l’histoire des médias.

eGirls, eCitizens is a landmark work that explores the many forces that shape girls’ and young women’s experiences of privacy, identity, and equality in our digitally networked society. Drawing on the multi-disciplinary expertise of a remarkable team of leading Canadian and international scholars, as well as Canada’s foremost digital literacy organization, MediaSmarts, this collection presents the complex realities of digitized communications for girls and young women as revealed through the findings of The eGirls Project (www.egirlsproject.ca) and other important research initiatives.

Aimed at moving dialogues on scholarship and policy around girls and technology away from established binaries of good vs bad, or risk vs opportunity, these seminal contributions explore the interplay of factors that shape online environments characterized by a gendered gaze and too often punctuated by sexualized violence.

Perhaps most importantly, this collection offers first-hand perspectives collected from girls and young women themselves, providing a unique window on what it is to be a girl in today’s digitized society.

In 2013, the government abolished the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), which had been Canada’s flagship foreign aid agency for decades, and transferred its functions to the newly renamed Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD). As the government is rethinking Canadian aid and its relationship with other foreign policy and commercial objectives, the time is ripe to rethink Canadian aid more broadly.

Edited by Stephen Brown, Molly den Heyer and David R. Black, this revised edition not only analyzes Canada’s past development assistance, it also highlights important new opportunities in the context of the recent change in government. Designed to reach a variety of audiences, contributions by twenty scholars and experts in the field offer an incisive examination of Canada’s record and initiatives in Canadian foreign aid, including its relatively recent emphasis on maternal and child health and on the extractive sector, as well as the longer-term engagement with state fragility. 

The portrait that emerges is a sobering one. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Canada’s changing role in the world.
