Two periods of development are dealt with: 1. 1920-1950:The whalers not havingreachedthe area, the Netsilik Eskimos did not come into elose contact with Euro-Canadians until after 1920 when the fur traders invaded the country. The introduction of the rifle and the gradual acceptance of fur trapping deeply affected the traditional economy, until it finally collapsed when the fox prices broke down after World War H. - 2. 1950-1970: This period is characterized bythe abandonment of the isolated winter settlements in favour of living in the larger communities of Gjoa Raven, Spence Bay and Pelly Bay providing a wide range of services and facilities. At the same time, opportunities for wage employment were offered on a wider scale. The formation of co-operatives on the one hand and settlement councils on the other hand enabled the local people to take a more active part in their economic and political development. - In a final chapter, the present (1971) structure of the settlement pattern and the economy are described; and data are provided on the total local cash income for each of the settlements. 1.

    Le Pop Art Et Le Consumérisme

    Le pop art et le consumérisme Après avoir étudié des mouvements comme la renaissance, le baroque ou encore l’impressionnisme, passons au pop art, mouvement multidisciplinaire du 20e siècle. “210 bouteilles de coca cola”, Andy Warhol, 1967 Origines britanniques ... Né en Grande-Bretagne dans le milieu des années 1950, le “pop art” (abréviation de la formule “popular art” ou art populaire) concerna d’abord principalement les techniques de la sérigraphie et du collage. Le mouvement émergea quelques années plus tard aux Etats-Unis. Bien que ce mouvement soit apparu dans un intervalle assez court dans ces deux pays, il divergea un peu comme nous le verrons ensuite. On peut considérer que les premières esquisses de pop art datent de 1947 avec une réalisation de Paolozzi. Cet artiste écossais créa des collages dans un style surréaliste dès la fin de la Apprendre à dessiner deuxième guerre mondiale dont un qui tendait vers un nouveau style artistique. L’oeuvre, intitulée « J’étais le jouet d’un homme riche » (I Was a Rich Man’s Plaything) fut réalisée à partir d’images découpées d’une pin-up, du logo Coca-Cola et du mot “pop”. L’artiste (comme Richard Hamilton, l’autre principal acteur du pop art britannique) savait bien cerner la société de consommation. “I Was a Rich Man’s Plaything”, Eduardo Paolozzi, 1947 Paolozzi était un des membres fondateurs de l’Independent Groupe dont les membres, dès 1952, se réunissaient très souvent à l’Institut des Arts Contemporains de Londres pour discuter de leur vision de l’art (une vision dominée par l’abstrait).

    198 13. Repulse Bay. This is an important summer area for seals (Canadian Wildlife Service 1972) and a primary seal-hunting area for Repulse Bay. 14. Roes Welcome Sound. This is an important concentration area for ringed seals and an important hunting area for Repulse Bay. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 15. Southampton-Coats Island. The southern coastal area of Southampton Island is an important concentration area for ringed seals and is the primary ringed and bearded seal hunting area for the Coral Harbour Inuit. Fisher and Evans Straits and all coasts of Coats Island are important seal-hunting areas in late summer and early fall. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 16.7.2 Communities Affected Communities that could be affected by impacts on seal populations are Resolute and, to a lesser degree, Spence Bay, Chesterfield Inlet, and Gjoa Haven. Effects on Arctic Bay would be minor. Coral Harbour and Repulse Bay could be affected if the Quebec route were chosen. Seal meat makes up the most important part of the diet in Resolute, Spence Bay, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay. It is a secondary, but still important food in Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. Seal skins are an important source of income for Spence Bay, Resolute, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay and a less important income source for Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. 16.7.3 Data Gaps Major data gaps concerning impacts on seal populations are: 1.
