En brossant le portrait de dix institutions culturelles jouant un rôle considerable dans la vie culturelle quebecoise et montrealaise, il s'agit tout d'abord pour nous de comprendre comment de telles institutions peuvent repondre à des revendications contemporaines à la justice, notamment celles relevant des concepts d'accessibilite, d'inclusion ou d'equite. Il s'agit egalement d'une occasion d'aborder les modes d'actions culturelles alors qu'ils sont au plus pres des publics, en saisissant certaines des transformations qui se sont operees au sein de ces institutions, en termes organisationnels, esthetiques ou des formes d'intervention. Il s'agit finalement d'un levier pour outiller l'action des institutions, afin de mettre en lumiere certaines pistes que cette action peut emprunter. Resultant d'un projet de recherche-action participative mene de 2016 à 2019 avec plus d'une vingtaine de partenaires, dont les dix institutions etudiees, ces portraits mettent en question le sens de l'action institutionnelle contemporaine et ses conditions de possibilite.

Le développement de l’histoire des bibliothèques, du livre et de la lecture a jusqu’à présent largement laissé de côté les bibliothèques grecques dans l’Empire ottoman, en particulier pour les XVIe et XVIIe siècles. La rareté des sources documentaires liées aux livres et aux bibliothèques, qui se réduisent pour l’essentiel aux informations fournies par les livres eux-mêmes, explique en partie cette faille. Quelques bibliothèques, dont celle de la Sainte-Trinité de Chalki, refondée au milieu du XVIe siècle par le patriarche Métrophane III, fournissent cependant des dossiers documentaires riches et précieux. Le présent volume, qui rassemble la plupart des contributions de deux colloques organisés en 2015 à Rethymno et à Istanbul, est né du désir de répondre à cette double nécessité, à la fois combler un manque historiographique dans le domaine de l’histoire des bibliothèques grecques à la période moderne et comprendre le contexte historique dans lequel a pu se constituer et se développer la bibliothèque de la Sainte-Trinité de Chalki, prise comme paradigme.00Le volume, construit de manière historique et géographique, s’articule en trois parties: Le Patriarcat de Constantinople et les institutions monastiques (XVIe-XVIIe s.); Livres et bibliothèques à Constantinople (XVe-XVIIe s.); Circulation des livres en Méditerranée et renouveau des bibliothèques (XVIIe-XIXe s.). Il rassemble 18 contributions, que complètent dans la plupart des cas soit l’édition de dossiers documentaires liés aux bibliothèques étudiées, soit des tableaux synthétiques qui présentent le contenu et la provenance des manuscrits concernés.

Academia is standing at a junction in time. Behind lies the community of the curious, ahead the mass and the market. This book joins in a growing stream of works that explore the vicissitudes of present-day European universities in what Bauman coined as liquid times. Here, a number of concerned (engaged) European scholars attempt to defend and brush up academic core values and practices, starting from their own life worlds and positions in higher education. They share the view that there is no point in turning back, nor in mechanically marching straight on. Above all, they uphold that there is no alternative to treasuring academia as a space for thinking together. Hopefully the fruit of this sine qua non invites to think with, and envision academic activism. Contributors are Samuel Abraham, Stefano Bianchini, Simon Charlesworth, Leonidas Donskis, Frans Kamsteeg, Joost van Loon, Ida Sabelis, Tamara Shefer and Harry Wels.

"Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. You might think that its name says it all. A bookshelf is just that - a shelf for books. It's the stuff of libraries, offices, and the bane of movers' existence. But every shelf is different and every bookshelf tells a different story. One bookshelf can creak with character in a bohemian coffee shop and another can groan with gravitas in the Library of Congress. Bookshelf takes an almost meta-approach to the object studies aim of Object Lessons: exploring the stacks as well as our bedside tables, writer and historian Lydia Pyne unpacks not just the material parts but the secret lives of bookshelves. Pyne finds bookshelves to be holders not just of books but of so many other things: values, vibes, and verbs that can be contained and displayed in the buildings and rooms of contemporary human existence. With a shrewd eye toward this particular moment in the history of books, Pyne takes the reader on a tour of the bookshelf that leads critically to this juncture: amid rumors of the death of book culture, why is the life of bookshelf in full bloom?Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in the The Atlantic"-- "Shows that, whether in the library, office, or home, the bookshelf is where and how we create categories to sort knowledge and experience and that every bookshelf tells a different story"--
