  • “Temple of My Heart”: Understanding Religious Space in Montreal's
    “Temple of my Heart”: Understanding Religious Space in Montreal’s Hindu Bangladeshi Community Aditya N. Bhattacharjee School of Religious Studies McGill University Montréal, Canada A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts August 2017 © 2017 Aditya Bhattacharjee Bhattacharjee 2 Abstract In this thesis, I offer new insight into the Hindu Bangladeshi community of Montreal, Quebec, and its relationship to community religious space. The thesis centers on the role of the Montreal Sanatan Dharma Temple (MSDT), formally inaugurated in 2014, as a community locus for Montreal’s Hindu Bangladeshis. I contend that owning temple space is deeply tied to the community’s mission to preserve what its leaders term “cultural authenticity” while at the same time allowing this emerging community to emplace itself in innovative ways in Canada. I document how the acquisition of community space in Montreal has emerged as a central strategy to emplace and renew Hindu Bangladeshi culture in Canada. Paradoxically, the creation of a distinct Hindu Bangladeshi temple and the ‘traditional’ rites enacted there promote the integration and belonging of Bangladeshi Hindus in Canada. The relationship of Hindu- Bangladeshi migrants to community religious space offers useful insight on a contemporary vision of Hindu authenticity in a transnational context. Bhattacharjee 3 Résumé Dans cette thèse, je présente un aperçu de la communauté hindoue bangladaise de Montréal, au Québec, et surtout sa relation avec l'espace religieux communautaire. La thèse s'appuie sur le rôle du temple Sanatan Dharma de Montréal (MSDT), inauguré officiellement en 2014, en tant que point focal communautaire pour les Bangladeshis hindous de Montréal.

It represents an intensive study, interrupted by World Wars I and II and now since my retirement from the Army, it has been full time. In my first book there were three points of dispair, all of which have now been resolved. (I) The name of the vessel in which Andrew Hannay came to America. (2) Locating the de­ scendants of the first son James and (3) The names of Andrew's forbears. It contained a record of Andrew Hannay and his de­ scendants, and information on the various branches in Scotland as found in the publications of the "Scottish Records Society", "Whose Who", "Burk's" and other authorities such as could be located in various libraries. Also brief records of several families of the name that we could not at that time identify. Since then there have been published two books on the family.

  • NOW out of NEVER the Element of Surprise in the East European Revolution of 1989
    NOW OUT OF NEVER The Element of Surprise in the East European Revolution of 1989 By TIMUR KURAN* I. UNITED IN AMAZEMENT UR jaws cannot drop any lower," exclaimed Radio Free Eu- rope one day in late 1989. It was commenting on the electrify- ing collapse of Eastern Europe's communist regimes.' The political land- scape of the entire region changed suddenly, astonishing even the most seasoned political observers. In a matter of weeks entrenched leaders were overthrown, the communist monopoly on power was abrogated in one country after another, and persecuted critics of the communist sys- tem were catapulted into high office. In the West the ranks of the stunned included champions of the view that communist totalitarianism is substantially more stable than ordinary authoritarianism.2 "It has to be conceded," wrote a leading proponent of this view in early 1990, "that those of us who distinguish between the two non-democratic types of government underestimated the decay of Communist countries and expected the collapse of totalitarianism to take longer than has actually turned out to be the case."3 Another acknowl- edged her bewilderment through the title of a new book: The Withering Away of the Totalitarian State. And Other Surprises.4 * This research was supported by the National Science Foundation under grant no. SES- 880803 1. A segment of the paper was drafted during a sabbatical, financed partly by a fellow- ship from the National Endowment for the Humanities, at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

  • Minor Debates: Part 1.The Modern Greek Reality, Part 2
    MINOR DEBATES Part 1: The Modern Greek Reality by Diamantis Krionidis* *Graduate of the Law School of Democritus University of Thrace , Ph.D. Candidate of the School of Theology of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki The ancient lyric and poetic tradition presents Helen as an eternal model of beauty and contemporaneously as the cause of the Trojan War and Greek suffering. At Euripides’ “Helen” the tragic poet utilises a tradition, which was probably invented either by the poet Stesichorus or Hesiodus. This tradition differentiates itself, as it combines the presence of an “idol”,1 Helen’s idol in Troy, with the parallel hiding of the real Helen in Egypt, where she was placed under the protection of King Proteus. So, Greeks and Trojans remain trapped in an idol, in a deceptive image, for years as it is eventually proved. This variation of the epic story displays the essential difference between “appearing and being”. And this is exactly the characteristic which now imparts to the play a particular value at present. Namely, the current situation shows the modern Achaeans trapped not in the snare of pretty Helen’s idol, but the illusion of the idealized Greek country. This illusion is being constantly invigorated by the idea that both the few “lucky” people who live in Greece and the Greek land itself constitute the Greek earthly version of the celestial paradise. On the other hand, it is certainly true that during the last thirty years the Greek traditional, agricultural and “isolated” society of the 19th century has been transformed into a more urban, democratic, multicultural, European one.
