The Writing and the Bronze
Historic monuments are the most public and recognized forms of commemoration. In Canada, as around the world, many monuments have come under fire recently for celebrating a vision of the past that is no longer palatable to large segments of the population. The heroes and events they enshrine have been denounced by many as tributes to racism, yet they are valued by others as aspects of our collective history and a celebration of our national herit…

C laire E lizabeth C ampbell . Nature, Place, and Story
That the distinction usually drawn between human and natural history is artificial underlies the premise of Nature, Place, and Story, a new book by Claire Elizabeth Campbell. Campbell thinks that public history and environmental history are inextricably linked, but she believes that this fact is insufficiently acknowledged. She argues that histories and issues facing historic sites “can be directly tied to current questions in environmental healt…

Entre l’invention et la réalité
L’article ci-dessous établit une analogie entre les représentations des peintres paysagistes et la construction de villages-musées de pionniers. Si les peintres paysagistes concevaient des scènes de manière à privilégier certaines vues et à en effacer d’autres, les villages-musées de pionniers ont, sensiblement de la même façon, construit des vues sélectives du paysage. Bon nombre de ces villages ont été aménagés par des organismes de gestion des…
What to see and how to see it
During the course of the nineteenth century, tourism promoters developed prescribed guidebook itineraries and walking tours to help tourists better enjoy their leisure travel. These suggested walking tours offer historians a glimpse into the historical consciousness of visitors and, to an extent, of the local bourgeoisie. In Quebec City, the guidebook walking tour emerged in the middle of the nineteenth century as the local business of tourism be…
Experience sampling during fMRI reveals default network and executive system contributions to mind wandering
Although mind wandering occupies a large proportion of our waking life, its neural basis and relation to ongoing behavior remain controversial. We report an fMRI study that used experience sampling to provide an online measure of mind wandering during a concurrent task. Analyses focused on the interval of time immediately preceding experience sampling probes demonstrate activation of default network regions during mind wandering, a finding consis…
Continuity of Care
Pioneer Living 1963 Style
This article connects the origins of a Canadian living history museum to the cultural and social developments of 1960s suburban Canada. Although there exists a strong literature on heritage and commemoration in Canada (and around the world), few scholars have looked explicitly at museums in that country. The literature on history museums elsewhere in the world is stronger. However, despite the strengths of this international literature, its focus…
Heritage and Authenticity
Race and Psychiatric Services in Post-Apartheid South Africa
Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to examine the perception of the quality of psychiatric services five years after apartheid, and specifically whether care for black patients had improved. Design: A survey was distributed to South African psychiatrists during a national congress and by mail. The questionnaire focused on the quality of psychiatric care in general, for black and white patients, the racial composition of each resp…
Making Public Pasts
Making Public Pasts
Between 1891 and 1930 Montreal was a bilingual and increasingly multicultural city. Its "two majorities" struggled to negotiate and commemorate their respective memories in the public spaces of the city, using historic monuments to stake a claim to specific places, streets, and neighbourhoods. In Making Public Pasts Alan Gordon argues that the contest was fundamentally ideological, a competition between major social groups to shape perceptions of…
Patronage, Etiquette, and the Science of Connection
The political management model, whereby elite dispensers ably distribute patronage as a tool in shaping party and national unity, has long guided Canadian studies of patronage. However, political management vests little agency in the recipients of largesse. A model of reciprocal patron/client relations, in contrast, reveals a greater degree of interplay between elites and their clients in negotiating the price of political loyalty. The patronage …
Education and training for information technology
There is growing concern in IT producer, user and potential user employing organisations that the widespread introduction and development of information technology (IT) is being hindered by a growing shortage of manpower with high level IT skills. There is increasing evidence that, in the midst of high unemployment levels, the requirements of employing organisations for both software and hardware specialists remains unmet (Gordon & Pearson, 1984)
Industrial sponsorship of engineering undergraduates
The sponsorship of engineering students is seen by employers as an effective way of training and developing professional engineers, and a way for employers to try and ensure future supplies of qualified manpower. It also enables students to acquire guaranteed industrial training during their courses and to develop close links with employers for jobs on graduation. Sponsorship has, however, been almost totally ignored by researchers. The paper rev…
Discriminant Validity of the Rational Behavior Inventory with Respect to Social Desirability
The clinical theory of rational-emotive therapy suggests that various forms of neurosis are characterized by specific patterns of irrational th~nking (2 ) . This position is supported by recent investigations which employed the Rational Behavior Inventory ( 4 ) as a measure of irrational belief system; strong associations were found between irrationality and various indices of psychopathology such as test, sute and trait anxiety, depression, a mo…
