Résumé livre : 4e de couv.: Les mutations qui se sont amorcées à partir de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et qui connaissent une accélération rapide avec les crises sociales, culturelles, économiques et environnementales contemporaines ont transformé le paysage muséal et les visions dont les musées se soutiennent et qu'ils entretiennent. La plupart des travaux produits au cours de ces années ont été portés par ces transformations et y contribuent : la recherche en muséologie s'est elle-même dissociée de la recherche dans les musées dans les années 1980. De plus, quelque chose s'est noué entre un tournant communicationnel dans les musées et un développement de la réflexion théorique et critique sur la communication. Dans une approche résolument pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage se propose d'analyser ces évolutions dans leurs dimensions institutionnelles, culturelles, communicationnelles, historiques, patrimoniales. Les perspectives réunies ici contribueront, sans aucun doute, à mettre au jour les mouvements de fond actuels, les tendances qui travaillent les institutions elles-mêmes, et le poids de ces changements dans la formulation des enjeux théoriques en muséologie.

The goal of this research is to examine Aboriginal feature film production in Canada, specifically within the genre of drama. This report documents the rise of Indigenous cinema worldwide and examines Canada's public funding landscape including funding allocations to Aboriginal feature film production from Canada's public funders of film over a five-year period from 2007 to 2012. This report also examines the barriers to feature film production for Aboriginal content creators in Canada, and suggests areas of opportunity that can be targeted in order to boost production in this sector. Aboriginal film production is a relatively young sector, with scarce research existing on the industry. To address this gap in the available information on the sector, the researchers expanded the scope of the study beyond public funding agencies in Canada to include data from public funding agencies in Australia and New Zealand. Aboriginal feature film production in Canada is situated within a global Indigenous cinema context. Australia and New Zealand, in particular, are two pillars of global Indigenous film that offer a realistic point from which to compare Canada's progress. As a result, data from Australia and New Zealand are included in the study, as well as one model in the United States.

"Art for a New Understanding, an exhibition from Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art that opened in October 2018, seeks to radically expand and reposition the narrative of American art since 1950 by charting a history of the development of contemporary Indigenous art from the United States and Canada, beginning when artists moved from more regionally-based conversations and practices to national and international contemporary art contexts. This accompanying book documents and expands on the histories and themes of this exciting exhibition. This fully illustrated volume includes essays by art historians and historians and reflections by the artists included in the collection. Also included are key contemporary writings--from the 1950s onward--by artists, scholars, and critics, investigating the themes of transculturalism and pan-Indian identity, traditional practices conducted in radically new ways, displacement, forced migration, shadow histories, the role of personal mythologies as a means to reimagine the future, and much more. As both a survey of the development of Indigenous art from the 1950s to the present and a consideration of Native artists within contemporary art more broadly, Art for a New Understanding expands the definition of American art and sets the tone for future considerations of the subject. It is an essential publication for any institution or individual with an interest in contemporary Native American art, and an invaluable resource in ongoing scholarly considerations of the American contemporary art landscape at large."

Indians in northeastern North America produced a variety of art objects for sale to travelers and tourists during the 18th and 19th centuries. This art is of high quality and great aesthetic interest, but has been largely ignored by scholars. This study combines fieldwork, art historical analysis

Ruth Phillips argues that these practices are "indigenous" not only because they originate in Aboriginal activism but because they draw on a distinctively Canadian preference for compromise and tolerance for ambiguity. Phillips dissects seminal exhibitions of Indigenous art to show how changes in display, curatorial voice, and authority stem from broad social, economic, and political forces outside the museum and moves beyond Canadian institutions and practices to discuss historically interrelated developments and exhibitions in the United States, Britain, Australia, and elsewhere. Drawing on forty years of experience as an art historian, curator, exhibition critic, and museum director, she emphasizes the complex and situated nature of the problems that face museums, introducing new perspectives on controversial exhibitions and moments of contestation. A manifesto that calls on us to re-imagine the museum as a place to embrace global interconnectedness, Museum Pieces emphasizes the transformative power of museum controversy and analyses shifting ideas about art, authenticity, and power in the modern museum.

This collection of essays deals with the development of Native American art history as a discipline.

Chronicles the global critical reception of Aboriginal art since the early 1980s and argues for a re-evaluation of Aboriginal art's critical intervention into contemporary art.

ouble Desire challenges the tendency by critics to perpetuate an aesthetic apartheid between Indigenous and Western art. The double desire explored in this book is that of the divided but also amplified attractions that occur between cultural traditions in places where both indigenous and colonial legacies are strong. The result, it is argued, produces imaginative transcultural practices that resist the assimilation or acculturation of Indigenous perspectives into the dominant Western...

This volume makes available in English most of the essays written to accompany the Canadian Museum of Civilization's exhibition In the shadow of the sun. Not included from the original German publication are the exhibition catalogue section and the essays by Gisela Hoffmann, Bernadette Driscoll and Elizabeth McLuhan. However, Viviane Gray's article appears in this document for the first time. Complemented by images of contemporary Indian and Inuit art, the book provides an overview of the evolution of contemporary Canadian Native art. Regional styles as well as the styles of individual artists are discussed, and the various subjects, themes and techniques reflected in the works of art are examined

This book provides a glimpse of thirteenth-century life and death in a southern Ontario Iroquoian community. The renovation of a Toronto soccer field in 1997 resulted in the accidental discovery of an Iroquoian ossuary--a large pit containing the remains of at least 87 people. The pit was excavated and recorded, and the remains reburied in accordance with the wishes of the Six Nations Council of Oshweken. Scientific analyses of the bones resulted in a remarkably detailed demographic profile of the Moatfield people, along with indicators of their health and diet. The book reports these findings and includes a complete database of maps and profiles on an accompanying CD-ROM. Ronald F. Williamson is president of Archaeological Services Inc., Toronto. Susan Pfeiffer is professor of anthropology at the University of Toronto. Source: Publisher

Le colloque « L’appropriation culturelle et les peuples autochtones : entre protection du patrimoine et liberté de création », organisé à l’UQAM en avril 2018, a suscité un dialogue fructueux à propos des multiples dimensions de l’appropriation culturelle. Réunissant des acteurs des milieux des arts et de la culture, du droit, de la politique, du tourisme et de la santé, ce colloque a permis de susciter des avenues de réflexion ainsi que différentes pistes d’action. Ce colloque, organisé par le Groupe de recherche interuniversitaire sur les affirmations autochtones contemporaines (GRIAAC-UQAM) en collaboration avec la Faculté des sciences humaines (FSH), la Société Recherches amérindiennes au Québec (SRAQ) et l’organisme Terres en vues, visait à réunir des experts et des praticiens des cultures et des sociétés autochtones (Premières Nations, Inuits et Métis), mais aussi des spécialistes des questions juridiques liées à la propriété intellectuelle, au droit d’auteur et aux droits collectifs, autour d’une question commune : comment respecter et protéger les traditions, les conceptions, les symboles, les savoirs, les patrimoines culturels matériels et immatériels autochtones, tout en continuant à favoriser la créativité et les échanges entre les cultures? À travers des présentations générales et des tables rondes réalisées sous forme d’ateliers, ce colloque visait non seulement à poser les termes de ces questions complexes, mais également à identifier des pistes concrètes d’actions pour que soient reconnues et respectées l’histoire, les lois et l’épanouissement tant des cultures autochtones que des autres cultures, et en particulier de la culture québécoise.
