Par Alex Soojung-Kim Pang. 2016
For most of us, overwork is the new normal and rest is an afterthought. But dismissing rest stifles our ability…
to think creatively and truly recharge. In this book, Silicon Valley consultant Alex Pang argues that we can be more successful in all areas of our lives by recognizing the importance of rest: working better does not mean working more, it means working less and resting better. Treating rest as a passive activity secondary to work undermines our chances for a rewarding and meaningful life. Whether by making space for daily naps, as Winston Churchill did during World War II; going on hours-long strolls like Charles Darwin; or spending a week alone in a cabin like Bill Gates, pursuing what Pang calls "deliberate rest" is the true key to fulfillment and creative success. 2016.Reputation: what it is and why it matters
Par Stephen Holmes, Gloria Origgi, Noga Arikha. 2017
Reputation touches almost everything, guiding our behavior and choices in countless ways. But it is also shrouded in mystery. Why…
is it so powerful when the criteria by which people and things are defined as good or bad often appear to be arbitrary? Why do we care so much about how others see us that we may even do irrational and harmful things to try to influence their opinion? 2017. Uniform title: Réputation, qui dit quoi de qui.Since the 1980s successive Canadian institutions, including the federal government and Christian churches, have attempted to grapple with the malignant…
legacy of residential schooling, including official apologies, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Miller tackles and explains these institutional responses to Canada's residential school legacy. Analysing archival material and interviews with former students, politicians, bureaucrats, church officials, and the Chief Commissioner of the TRC, Miller reveals a major obstacle to achieving reconciliation--the inability of Canadians at large to overcome their flawed, overly positive understanding of their country's history. Asks Canadians to accept that the root of the problem was Canadians like them in the past who acquiesced to aggressively assimilative policies. 2017.Remembering the farm: memories of farming, ranching, and rural life in Canada, past and present

Par Gérard Bouchard. 2014
"Il existe dans toutes les sociétés, celles d'aujourd'hui comme celles d'hier, des valeurs et des croyances qui en viennent à…
exercer un tel ascendant qu'elles s'imposent aux esprits. D'origine religieuse ou non, elles jouissent d'un statut qui leur permet d'échapper en grande partie à la contestation. Toute remise en question est perçue comme une profanation. Ainsi, qui voudrait rejeter les libertés civiles en Angleterre, l'égalité des citoyens en France, le droit de propriété aux États-Unis, ou bien l'égalité des races en Afrique du Sud, ou encore l'égalité homme-femme au Québec ? S'appuyant sur la raison, mais se nourrissant surtout d'émotion et de sacralité, ces valeurs sont devenues intouchables. Par quel chemin y sont-elles arrivées ? En d'autres mots, comment naît un mythe ? Comment accède-t-il à la sacralité ? Comment se diffuse-t-il et assure-t-il sa reproduction ? Comment vient-il à décliner ? Quel rôle y jouent, d'un côté, les forces de l'inconscient et, de l'autre, les acteurs sociaux ? Et pourquoi ne porte-t-on pas davantage attention à ces représentations puissantes qui expriment les sentiments les plus profonds d'une société, qui nourrissent les identités, les idéologies, qui structurent les visions du passé et de l'avenir, qui inspirent les choix collectifs et balisent le débat public ?

oil-lamp lighting. As a half-breed kid, he was caught between two worlds.

Par Dominique Schnapper. 2007
Né de l'inquiétude sur les nouvelles formes de vie sociale que suscitait la modernité, le concept d'intégration recouvre les modalités…
spécifiques de la vie collective dans les sociétés contemporaines. À l'origine, Durkheim le réserve au problème de la société dans son ensemble. Puis les sociologues s'interrogent sur la formation et le maintien des entités collectives, sur les relations entre l'individu et le groupe. Les recherches montrent alors que l'assimilation des immigrés n'est pas un processus unique ou rectiligne, mais comporte des dimensions et des modalités différentes, voire discordantes. Désormais, les sociologues distinguent entre l'adoption des traits culturels de la société - selon les auteurs, on parlera d'acculturation, d'assimilation, voire d'intégration culturelle - et la participation aux diverses instances de la vie sociale - l'assimilation sociale ou l'intégration structurelle. 2007.
