  • 1 DIALOGUE & OUTREACH Department OIC Islamophobia
    DIALOGUE & OUTREACH Department OIC Islamophobia Observatory Monthly Bulletin – November 2017 MANIFESTATIONS OF ISLAMOPHOBIA: A. In the United States and Canada: US: Police seek man they believe desecrated 2 Brooklyn mosques— A community came together in November 2017 in a show of solidarity, after a Brooklyn mosque was desecrated. Police said the same man desecrated another mosque on the same day. A hammier-wielding man was seen on video breaking a door of the Beit El-Maqdis Islamic Center in Sunset Park, smashing five windows, and damaging a security camera. The attack occurred at a little before 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Police said the man ran off on 62nd St. Police believed the same man used the hammer 30 minutes later to vandalize a second Brooklyn mosque on 8th Ave. near 60th St. See: NY1 News’ entry, in: http://www.ny1.com/news/2017/11/13/brooklyn-mosque-vandalized.html, retrieved on14.11.2017 US: DHS official who made islamophobic comments resigns. Another remains in a senior role.— Rev. Jamie Johnson, a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security, had once said that Islam had given the world only “oil and dead bodies.” He had also argued that Jews became disproportionately wealthy through hard work while African Americans turned cities into “slums because of laziness, drug use, and sexual promiscuity.” Hours later, Johnson resigned as the head of DHS’s Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. However Frank Wuco, a senior White House adviser at DHS who had made similarly inflammatory comments about Muslims and other groups, was still working at the department in a role with significant implications for Muslims in America and abroad.

  • Notes and Communications the Canadian Architecture
    Notes and Communications The Canadian Architecture Collection, McGill University by SUSAN WAGG In the spring of 1904, Percy Nobbs, the director of McGill University's Department of Architecture, took the unprecedented step of sending his students out to make measured drawings of some of the older buildings in Montreal. In this way, he noted, the department was "seeking to preserve an authentic record of some of the ancient landmarks of Montreal and at the same time to wean its students from drawing paper, photographs and plaster casts and to introduce them to things as they are in solid fact."' After Nobbs resigned as director at the end of 1909 in order to carry on an active architectural practice, his long-time friend and successor as Macdonald Professor of Architecture at McGill, Ramsay Traquair, became increas- ingly involved in the task of amassing a permanent record comprising measured drawings, sketches, and photographs of the old architecture of Quebec. Scottish- born and trained, both men, when they came to Canada in the early twentieth century, were infused with the current British concern for that land's historic buildings, which were being decimated by industrialization. In their adopted country, Nobbs and Traquair became pioneers in the appreciation of eastern Canada's threatened architectural heritage, their legacy to future generations forming a significant part of what is today known as the Canadian Architecture Collection in the Blackader- Lauterman Library of Architecture and Art at McGill University. The first official record of this collection appears to be a brief statement in the 1917 University Annual Report announcing that the "staff of the [Architecture] Department is collecting a number of drawings and photographs of historic buildings in Canada, with the object eventually of forming a record of the older architecture of the Dominion, particularly of the Province of Quebec."2 The following year, the photographs of the late Mr.

  • HEBERT THESIS Final Revision DONE
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF James Michael Hébert for the Degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on April 13, 2007. Title: Culture Built Upon the Land: A Predictive Model of Nineteenth-Century Canadien/Métis Farmsteads. Abstract approved: _______________________________________________________________ David R. Brauner The objective of this thesis is to provide a predictive model for the archaeological investigation of the first farmsteads in the Pacific Northwest, established in the early- and mid-nineteenth century by Canadien and Métis families retiring from their service in the fur trade. Past studies of this population have either failed to thoroughly discuss or relied on stereotyped interpretations of this unique ethnic group due to an over-reliance on and uncritical use of English-language sources. The inherent bias of many Anglophone sources has lead to the misinterpretation and ignorance of the unique character of these early settlers and, thus, a lack of thorough investigation into their contribution to Pacific Northwest history. My hypothesis is that the Canadien and Francophone Métis men patterned their settlements on a mental template derived from seventeenth-century European settlement in the Saint-Lawrence River Valley. I have used both English- and French-language primary and secondary sources from archives in the United States and Canada circa 1600-1900. First, I identified and described the core features of Canadien and Métis farmsteads and communities and explicated their social and material context. Second, I created a model of the imprint of these elements in the archaeological record. This model attempts to illustrate that culturally informed historical research can be applied to archaeological investigation as both a guide to understanding the material record and a means to test and to confirm assertions about cultural identity, continuity and material culture.

Limited editions meant that these popular publications were soon out of print. Since then, these books have been con- sulted by generations of Canadians. They have been used by heritage organizations, university students and avid appreciators of Canada’s diverse architectural history. The books were soon unavailable for purchase, how- ever with the advent of new technology, Parks Canada has updated these publications and are now available in electronic format. These studies provide useful information and analysis for anyone interested in the field of Canadian architec- ture and perhaps will add to the general awareness and appreciation of this important part of Canada's heri- tage.

Morisset Bouleversés par l’accroissement des échanges culturels et des migrations, au XXIe siècle, les rapports entre les collectivités et leur environnement bâti restent au cœur des constructions identitaires modernes. Patrimoine urbain, collection de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en patrimoine urbain (UQAM), propose d’explorer les configurations imaginaires et les constitutions maté­ rielles de cet environnement. De l’architecture à la ville et de la création à la commémoration, les ouvrages de la collection auscultent la notion de patri­ moine et les phénomènes de patrimonialisation : l’analyse des idées mais aussi celle des objets y sont mises à contribution, dans une perspective holistique, afin de comprendre les représentations qui forgent le paysage construit et, au bout du compte, dans l’espoir de nourrir une réinvention du patrimoine, comme projection dans l’avenir. Jeunes chercheurs et chercheurs expérimentés y offrent leurs réfle xions en partage à un large public, intéressé par l’histoire, par les cons tructions mythiques ou simplement par le paysage qui nous entoure. Acteurs, déci­ deurs et témoins des scènes architecturales, ubanistiques ou touristiques, citoyens et curieux sont donc conviés au débat.
