A New Category of Death: Medical Assistance in Dying and Mental Illness in Canada
Since June 2016, federal law in Canada has permitted eligible adults to request medical assistance in dying (MAiD). Until March 2021, however, the law stipulated that only those whose natural death was “reasonably foreseeable” were eligible to access MAiD. At that time, the legislation was changed to permit MAiD for anyone with a “grievous and irremediable medical condition,” including mental illness. For the latter category, however, a series of…
Narratives of Personhood and Caregiving in Ontario Long-Term Care Homes During Covid-19
Drawing on narratives recorded from family members of residents in long-term care homes in Ontario, Canada, during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, in this paper, I present a two-pronged argument. First, following Taylor (2008) and Seaman (2018, 2020) I suggest that family caregiving for residents of long-term care homes helps to sustain residents’ personhood: the recognition of their identity as an ongoing participant in their social universe. The se…

From Cruddiness to Catastrophe: Covid-19 and Long-term Care in Ontario
Over 80% of Canadian COVID-19 first wave deaths occurred in long-term care homes. Focussing on Ontario, I trace the antecedents of the COVID-19 crisis in long-term care and document experiences of frontline staff and family members of residents during the pandemic. Following Povinelli, I argue that the marginalization of both residents and workers in Ontario's long-term care system over two decades has eroded possibilities for recognition of thei…
The Rosary as a Meditation on Death at a Marian Apparition Shrine
The Rosary as a Meditation on Death at a Marian Apparition Shrine
Based on an ethnography of a Marian shrine in northwestern France, this chapter explores the symbols and metaphors of mortality that permeate ritual at the shrine. Through the presentation of narratives about the experiences of pilgrims to the site, it poses larger reflexive questions concerning Roman Catholicism and death. Do Catholic rituals emphasizing the transience of life empower participants by providing them with an opportunity to confron…
Folk Literature and the Invention of Tradition: The Case of the Barzaz Breiz
Since its publication in 1839, the Barzaz Breiz has influenced the development of nationalism, folklore studies, and ethnography in Brittany. Presented originally as a collection of oral ballads, the work was later shown to consist of composite texts subject to extensive rewriting. As with the Kinder- und Hausmärchen and Poems of Ossian, the authenticity of the Barzaz Breiz has been the subject of extensive scholarly controversy, particularly wit…

Religious heritage and the re-enchantment of the world in brittany
This article explores the changing uses of, attitudes toward, and meanings of religious monuments in contemporary Brittany. I argue that the transformed relationship between people and religious art and architecture in this region corresponds to the shift between memory and history, as described by historian Pierre Nora. Increasingly divorced from “lived religion,” religious buildings are now valued as sites where a material connection with the p…
New pilgrims on a medieval route: Mobility and community on the Tro Breiz
Throughout Catholic Europe there has been a resurgence of interest in pilgrimage since the 1990s, despite dramatic declines in regular attendance at mass and other indicators of religious practice. One of the less well known European pilgrimages is the Tro Breiz, or tour of Brittany, a medieval long-distance walking pilgrimage in northwestern France that has recently been revived (or recreated). On the basis of ethnographic research carried out i…

La Bretagne depuis trente ans: Le Regard d'Une Ethnologue Canadienne
La question des changements en Bretagne est abordée ici du point de vue d'une ethnologue qui a mené des recherches sur le terrain dans le Finistère entre 1981 et 2011. Ce récit n'est que partial, fondé sur les paroles des gens, les lieux et les objets sociaux que j'ai rencontrés. Se centrant sur quatre domaines de la vie sociale qui sont fondateurs de l'identité bretonne - la langue, l'attachement au pays, la religion et les « activités culturell…
Spirits of Protestantism: Medicine, Healing, and Liberal Christianity by Pamela E. Klassen
Pilgrimage, tourism and The da Vinci code at Les-Saintes-Maries-De-La-Mer, France
The shrine of Les-Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in the Camargue region of Provence is internationally famous as the site of an annual ‘gypsy’ pilgrimage that attracts approximately 10,000 Romany pilgrims from various regions of Europe. The pilgrimage also provides the opportunity for the performance of Provençal identity for local residents of the Camargue. The exotic image of the Romanies and colourful Provençal traditions associated with the pilgrim…
Illness, Biomedicine, and Alternative Healing in Brittany, France
Through the lens of an illness narrative, this article focuses on the complex relationships between biomedicine and alternative therapies in Brittany, France. Themes drawn from the illness narrative highlight Breton ideas about the body, the source of healers' legitimacy, and the authority of the biomedical system. I argue that in this region, both biomedical and religious authorities are perceived to be allied to non-local elites, and both are s…
Echoes from Kerizinen: Pilgrimage, narrative, and the construction of sacred history at a Marian shrine in northwestern France
Drawing upon theoretical perspectives developed by Coleman and Elsner, this article contributes to the anthropological understanding of pilgrimage by presenting and interpreting oral narratives and published texts about Kerizinen, a Marian apparition shrine in Brittany, France. Since the Kerizinen apparitions have never been recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, pilgrims and shrine promoters construct a corpus of narrative evidence that serves…

Suspending Disbelief: An Encounter with the Occult in Brittany
Ethnographers commonly distance themselves from active engagement with the beliefs or practices of Others by temporarily "suspending disbelief." In Europe, where the boundaries dividing ethnographer and Other become blurred, such distancing mechanisms can break down. This essay reflexively explores this process in the context offieldworkon alternative healing in Brittany, France, highlighting the reinterpretation of my role by one specific healer…

Ethnography, fiction, and the meanings of the past in Brittany
Adopting a reflexive approach, this article interprets a recently created healing ritual in Brittany that integrates local 19th-century notions about the curative powers of prehistoric monuments with diverse elements from non-Breton sources. Parallels are noted between this New Age therapy and witchcraft, an older explanatory framework for illness and misfortune in Brittany. The therapeutic discourse associated with the ritual draws on the past a…

Contesting the Sacred: The Anthropology of Christian Pilgrimage
This article introduces a collection of essays exploring the contested nature of Christian pilgrimage. It challenges traditional anthropological approaches that view pilgrimage as a unified and coherent system, arguing instead for a focus on the diverse and often conflicting interpretations and practices surrounding sacred sites and journeys. The essays examine how power dynamics, social identities, and individual motivations shape pilgrimage exp…
Ethnicity, Folklore, and Local Identity in Rural Brittany
Although extensive research has been directed toward ethnic identity over the past 15 years, the issue of local identity has been relatively neglected. This article examines localfoci of identity in rural Brittany. Studies of regional ethnic groups in Europe have frequently emphasized the external boundaries dividing such groups from dominant national cultures. In contrast, the present article suggests that internal, local boundaries are emically…

Death Omens in a Breton Memorate
intersigne narratives provide particularly useful material for the study of folk belief.2 As van Gennep points out,3 intersigne is a local Breton term for omen which first appears in the publications of folklorists working in Brittany during the late nineteenth century. The word intersigne literally means 'sign between.' These are signs which bridge two time dimensions, the present and the future, and two levels of reality, the natural and the su…

Changing Breton Responses to Death
Based on field work conducted in Brittany, France, during 1983 and 1984, this article discusses changes in Breton responses to death which have accompanied modernization and economic development in this region. It is suggested that familiarity with death and acceptance of it are being replaced by the “denial of death” characteristic of contemporary Western culture. This is indicated by such changes as the disappearance of the wake in urban center…
