Par Jean-Baptiste Botul. 2004
Le 5 janvier 1937, à Neuilly, Jean-Baptiste Botul prend dans son taxi une jeune cliente mineure qui lui ordonne :…
" Cours Désir ". Adresse équivoque s'il en est ! La nuit qu'ils passeront ensemble dans Paris vaudra à Botul de comparaître devant le tribunal professionnel des taxis parisiens. Pour sa défense, Botul se compare à Nietzsche, victime du démon de midi, amoureux tragique de Lou Andreas Salomé. Le récit qu'il fait de leur rencontre atteste que le Surhomme ne vaut pas grand-chose en face de la Surfemme. Car Lou, selon les termes de Botul, " était plus qu'une femme ". Parente de Lilith et de Lolita, elle incarne un démon mutant, moderne, celui de la " sexualité " femelle. Miraculeusement retranscrite, cette géniale plaidoirie confirme que Botul, ce penseur méconnu, fut le plus grand philosophe de tradition orale du XXe siècle.My conversations with Canadians (Essais ; #no. 4)
Par Lee Maracle. 2017
On her first book tour at the age of 26, Lee Maracle was asked a question from the audience, one…
she couldn't possibly answer at that moment. But she has been thinking about it ever since. As time has passed, she has been asked countless similar questions, all of them too big to answer, but not too large to contemplate. These questions, which touch upon subjects such as citizenship, segregation, labour, law, prejudice and reconciliation (to name a few), are the heart of "My Conversations with Canadians". In prose essays that are both conversational and direct, Maracle seeks not to provide any answers to these questions she has lived with for so long. Rather, she thinks through each one using a multitude of experiences she's had as a Canadian, a First Nations leader, a woman and mother and grandmother over the course of her life. Presents a tour de force exploration into the writer's own history and a re-imagining of the future of our nation. Bestseller. 2017. Uniform title: Essays.Follows the story of a famous Ojibwe medicine man, his gifted grandson, and remarkable water drum. This drum, and forty…
other artefacts, were given away by a Canadian museum to an American Anishinaabe group that had no family or community connections to the collection. Many years passed before the drum was returned to the family. Matthews takes us through this astonishing set of events from multiple perspectives, exploring community and museum viewpoints, visiting the ceremonial group leader in Wisconsin, and finally looking back from the point of view of the drum. The book contains a powerful Anishinaabe interpretive perspective on repatriation and on anthropology itself.

whose essays make up "Me Artsy" pursue such varied disciplines as filmmaking, gourmet cuisine, blues piano, fashion design, acting, writing and painting as well as traditional drumming and storytelling.

What makes "Me Artsy" special is that all these concerns are always overlaid with an awareness of First Nations identity. 2015.
