Bouclier Canadien

Ce texte analyse l’histoire de création du parc national de la Mauricie au Québec dans les années 1970. Il explore notamment le rôle que joue la science de l’écologie dans la mise en place d’une représentation idéalisée de la nature dite « sauvage » des parcs nationaux canadiens sur le territoire mauricien. Selon le discours officiel de l’agence Parcs Canada, ce parc vise en effet à protéger un exemple de la « nature sauvage des grandes forêts du Bouclier canadien ». Or, notre histoire révèle toutefois des forêts profondément marquées par une activité humaine séculaire faite de chasse, de pêche et de foresterie. Dès lors, comment l’agence fédérale Parcs Canada réussit-elle à créer sur ces paysages humanisés une « aire naturelle représentative d’intérêt canadien »? La science de l’écologie permet cette transformation de la territorialité mauricienne. Par l’entremise d’inventaires, de cartes écosystémiques et de plans directeurs qui mettent l’accent sur les composantes naturelles du lieu – mais qui font abstraction de son histoire humaine –, Parcs Canada réussit à concrétiser matériellement et symboliquement sur le territoire de la province l’idéal de nature sauvage des parcs nationaux canadiens. Partant de la thèse de Suzanne Zeller (1988), notre histoire montre ainsi que la science servît à soutenir, toujours en 1970, les entreprises de nation-building de l’État canadien.

This article explores the role of visuality in the identity politics of fin-de-siècle Catalonia. It engages with the recent reevaluation of the visual, both as a source for the history of modern nation-building, and as a constitutive element in the emergence of civic identities in the liberal urban environment. In doing so, it offers a reading of the mutually constitutive relationship of the built environment and the print media in late-nineteenth century Catalonia, and explores the role of this relation as the mechanism by which the so-called ‘imagined communities’ come to exist. Engaging with debates on urban planning and educational policies, it challenges established views on the interplay between tradition and modernity in modern nation-building, and reveals long-term connections between late-nineteenth-century imaginaries and early-twentieth-century beliefs and practices.

Structural Conflict

This article examines the evolving relations between Israel and the indigenous Bedouin Arab population of the southern Beer-Sheba region. It begins with a discussion of theoretical aspects, highlighting a structural conflict embedded in the ‘ethnocratic’ nature of nation-building typical of ‘pure’ settler states, such as Israel. The place of the Bedouin Arab community is then analyzed, focusing on the impact of one of Israel's central policies—the Judaization of territory. The study traces the various legal, planning and economic strategies of Judaizing contested lands in the study area. These have included the nationalization of Arab land, the pervasive establishment of Jewish settlements, the forced urbanization of the Bedouin Arabs, and the denial of basic services to Bedouins who refuse to urbanize. However, the analysis also finds a growing awareness among indigenous Arabs of their being discriminated against on ethnic grounds, and the emergence of effective resistance. In recent years, this has resulted in a deadlock between state authorities and the indigenous peoples. The case of the Bedouin Arabs demonstrates that the ethnocentric settler state is weakening and fragmenting, partially at least, due to its own expansionist land, planning and development policies.
