Martin, Tania Marie. "Housing the Grey Nuns : power, religion and women in fin-de-siècle Montréal." Thesis, McGill University, 1995. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=23201.
Full textThe research involves the extensive use of a unique documentary legacy preserved in the archives of the Grey Nuns: the architectural drawings and written accounts of Soeur Saint-Jean-de-la-Croix (1854-1921), in addition to the religious community's annals and period photographs. These documents recorded how the nuns organized their own built environment and permit a reconstruction of the convent's spatial arrangements, one hundred years after the fact. Although this building is monumental and designed by prominent Montreal architect Victor Bourgeau, it is only from exploring the perspectives of the users that we can truly see how large institutions operated. The division of the plans, the massing of the convent and its siting, among other aspects, communicate the nuns' distinct way of life, one that questioned the traditional boundaries of public and private imposed by society in turn-of-the-century Montreal, albeit from a limited position.
The convent is situated within the larger context of nineteenth-century Montreal, especially its hospitals, schools, asylums, and homes. While it shared many of the distinctive architectural features that characterized these building types, the convent also differed from them significantly in its organization. This thesis is intended to enrich our understanding of convents, the place in history of religious communities and the development of women in Quebec.

Full textThis Ph.D. thesis deals with a contemporary form of Haitian vodou practiced in the diaspora and especially in Montreal. I chosen to focus my study on one of its version existing in Haiti, called vodou asogwe. Thereby my thesis analyzes a diasporic and transnational religion in the context of globalization. Empiric data of my research expose that the practice of vodou asogwe in Montreal lies as on adaptations to this new context than a continuity of its deep logic.I designed my methodology to grasp the meaning of the religious practice from the inside, regularly practicing with my interlocutors. I led my Ph.D. fieldwork during two years into a spiritual family, while taking into account the wider religious lineage in which it is embedded. This drove me to observe the rituality and to conduct interviews in several locations spread between Montreal and Haiti, all of them connected by this transnational religious lineage.The analysis I develop combines the study of transnational religions to the theoretical lens of ontological anthropology. The demonstration aims to analyze the way in which adaptation of diasporic vodou asogwe to globalization allows it to perpetuate itself while being inside a modern context but still lying on a specific ontology. In order to unfold this analysis the thesis is structured by the study of the dynamic between adaptations and continuities in the practice of vodou which appears in particular in its spatial insertion and its territorialization process

Full textMontreal, since its inception, has undoubtedly been marked by the religious presence; the resulting urban landscape thus bears a distinctive identity. Churches and buildings of religious character, and their sites—objects of this dissertation—certainly form a major part of the city’s built landscape; they generate sense and deeply rooted symbolic values. Above being paramount in structuring the territory of Montreal, they contribute in forging the identity ofthe largest Francophone city in North America. The spreading of Catholicism was based on the establishment of a parochial network, and the wealth of religious congregations’ works intensified the catholic action in neighbourhoods marked by a large Anglican and Protestant population. From then on, the proliferation of church buildings has modeled this exceptional religious topography that also exposes the mechanisms underlying the various urbanization stages of Quebec’s metropolis. Consequently, this palimpsest reveals itself through its territorial organization and thearchitecture of its churches and buildings of religious character. Modern town planning practices must take into account these fundamental issues of preservation and valorization of the built heritage. Privatizing some of these sites and adapting them to uses not really suited to their initial symbolic and heritage values may subvert the capacity to make sense of the urban landscape by obliterating a number of landmarks that formerly facilitated its understanding. This doctoral research revolves around three great periods. The first one considers the forming and expansion of Francophone Catholicity representations in Montreal’s landscape; the second period is characterized by the dissemination of new catholic representations that correspond to new identity-related issues; and the last period recounts the vagaries of the church heritagization process initiated in the seventies

Full textThe P.E.L.O. program is a national heritage language program offered in most Canadian schools as part of the multicultural global trend in education which became apparent in the second part of the twentieth century. The P.L.E. program is a uniquely Quebec educational program developed and implemented solely in Quebec.
This study will offer a general view of the programs, concentrating on the Hebrew studies units. It is divided into three chapters: the first chapter offers a view of traditional Jewish supplementary schooling in Montreal, which at present is part of the P.L.E.; the second chapter examines the P.E.L.O. program; and the last chapter suggests the possible impact the P.L.E. and P.E.L.O. programs may have on future Jewish supplementary schools in Montreal.

Full textThis thesis has adopted this expansive view of power and applied it to a study of the religious life within the Congregation de Notre-Dame of Montreal between 1693 and 1796. On a general level, the study, working within the framework of other research that has attempted to broaden the perception of female religious institutions, firmly links the congregation to the cultural, spiritual, political and economic life of its surrounding society. More precisely, it establishes the Congregation de Notre-Dame, within the Canadian historical context, as an institution not primarily founded, developed and centred solely on the work of one sanctified individual---Marguerite Bourgeoys---but one which, from its inception, owed its establishment and its existence to the network of linkages it formed through its mission. On a more specific level, the thesis moves to focus upon the relationship of power to the religious life in terms of three individual convent superiors---Marie Barbier, Marie-Josephe Maugue-Garreau and Marie Raizenne---and it explores these women as agents within their own social, political and spiritual frameworks.
In the process of this entire examination, this thesis set out to widen the perspective of much research surrounding the religious life. It has endeavoured to view the religious existence outside of the traditional dichotomies separating its active and contemplative dimensions, and to explore and give integrity and empowerment to its entirety. The study has also attempted to avoid depicting the existence of these women in terms of binary oppositions, of oppressed vs. the oppressor, and endeavoured to analyze them in terms of exchange. However, in spite of substantial evidence establishing these women as agents in their own right, the thesis inevitably returned, in one form or another, to the conclusion that, in the end, theirs was, indeed, a fragile authority.

Full textExamination of the literature on effective staff development and teacher centres resulted in an analytical framework comprising: (1) Context; (2) Organizational Structure; (3) Planning; (4) Process; and, (5) Content. This was used to organize data collected from observation, interviews, documents and a client survey.
The case study provided insight into the philosophy, purpose and organization of the centre and its staff development programmes. Additionally, the study identified methods employed by the centre to combat problems which currently face many staff development fora; namely, continued funding and maintaining client support.
The study revealed a strong relationship between the characteristics of the centre and those identified by research as effective staff development.

Full textReligious practices in North Atlantic countries are evolving, and there are particular cases where one can observe a changeover from institutional beliefs towards forms of spirituality issuing from a variety of traditions, many of which appeared on the scene towards the middle of the 20th century. The present thesis aims to shed some light on one facet of contemporary religious diversity; following up on questions which arose in the course of this exploration, it also addresses issues underlying the anthropological analysis of religious groups, for instance how to approach fieldwork, and how to consider such a group. To this end I have chosen to describe a religious group in Quebec which is linked to an Afro-Brazilian cult named Umbanda, and which is part of a transnational network of Umbanda temples. I shall begin by setting out how Umbanda developed in Brazil, since this informs us as to, for instance, the likelihood of permeability of such a tradition once it is “planted” in Northern soil. I will then analyse the type of transnationalisation that was at work when the Montreal group was set up, since this provides relevant indicators allowing us to determine how the group settles into the religious landscape of different countries. Finally, by examining the religious practices of members of the group, I shall attempt to elucidate a number of distinctive local features.

Full textThis research is on the religious and cultural transmission to the children from Maghrebian-Quebecker and Islamic-Christian couples in Montreal. After analyzing the content of 10 semistructured interviews made with parental couples, we have tried to give some answers to the following questions : What is the religious affiliation that the parents want to transmit to their child(ren) ? How do their choices reflect in their religious practice, particularly in the religious rituals ? What compromises do the parents make to reach family and identity balance for the child(ren) ? By what means do they legitimate their parental choices ? To properly answer these questions, we gave ourself the following specific objectives : 1) Document the choices of the parents concerning the religious and cultural transmission; 2) Define how the religious practices and beliefs of the parents influence their choices; 3) Explain in what way these choices manifest themselves in their ritual practices with their children; 4) Identify the legitimations of the parents toward their choice of transmission. After completing our analyses, we have not found a transmission logic that would apply to all our parents. Nevertheless, we observe that the children from our sample are identified by their parents as either Muslims (5 family out of 10) either with no religion (5 family out of 10). No couple has chosen Catholicism for their child, even when one member of the couple was a practicing Catholic. The parental choices related in particular to the circumcision ritual, as well as the celebration of the most important religious holidays, enable us to bring out some common anchor points regarding the symbolic transmission. Whatever the position of the Muslim parent—practicing or not, or atheist—toward the religion, he remains deeply attached to the ritual of the circumcision for his child for cultural transmission purposes. Bicultural transmission, where religious holidays of both lineage are celebrated is the most common.

Full textThe religious landscape in Quebec has undergone profound changes since the 1960s. These transformations are typically associated with the process of secularization of the province and the diversification of the origins of its immigrants. The transition from a mainly European immigration, and therefore mainly Christian or Jewish, to an immigration from other regions of the world, contributed to the formation of a newly established religious diversity in Quebec. This master’s thesis explores the case of Caodaism a religion that was first introduced by Vietnamese refugees between the 1970s and 1990s. Although Caodaists were few in numbers in Montreal and Quebec compared to Vietnamese Buddhists and Catholics, they quickly formed their own congregation, which became a site where new Vietnamese immigrants could seek support. Based on fieldwork conducted in 2014 and 2015 with the Temple Caodaïque de Montréal, I examine the role that this religious congregation played in the integration of its members into Quebec society, while demonstrating the transformation of the role ascribed to the Caodaist place of worship through the last three decades of existence and the decline of Vietnamese immigration in Quebec. Furthermore, I analyze how the collective and individual practice of Caodaism in Quebec has adapted though time, emphasising the importance of the influence of the secularized context and the religion’s minority status. I finally show how the members of this congregation strive to make their religious doctrine consistent with Quebec society.

Full textMy study of a Montreal Muslim association draws on the concept of community in social sciences to explore the social and religious dynamics of the Bel Agir association, where I conducted fieldwork for more than six months. Composed mainly of former members of a non violent Moroccan Islamist movement and entirely of migrants, the association offers a space where continuity and discontinuity in its members social and religious life is articulated. My analysis examines, in part, the role of the religious community in the immigration and settlement process. However at the principal aim of my thesis is to understand how the involvement of members in the association contributes to internalizing a specifically Muslim ethos and how, in return, their participation in the community articulates this ethos with the social context of Québec. In doing so, I offer an analysis of what motivate members to integrate to the community and apply the teachings of the group to their individual lives.

Full textLanguage shift from heritage languages to dominant, national languages among immigrant communities has been an important object of study in the sociology of language (Fishman 2006, 1968). The institutionally stabilized and ideologically sanctioned hegemony of the national language inevitably affects the use of all other languages, including those of allophone immigrant communities. Heritage language programs attempt to stay language shift by explicit language instruction often itself focused on a standard variety of the heritage language. However, explicit language socialization does not always foster a positive attitude towards heritage languages, since learners are solicited to “perform” linguistic competence, rather than use them as a means of emergent quotidian communication (Meek 2010, Das 2008). My study focuses on the role of religious institutions in maintaining heritage languages in Montreal. I show that places of worship founded by and linked to an immigrant community generate spaces where the relationship between language and identity is not over-determined, allowing for flexible and heterogeneous engagements with the heritage language. The focus of activities in religious settings is geared towards fostering a sacred community, not language instruction per se. Such settings, in which language is not the goal but the medium of collective activity, provide conditions favourable to interactions in heritage language. This thesis is based on our ethnographic field research in five churches in Montreal, each characterized by a different conceptualization of the relationship between language and religion, and each linked to a distinct allophone immigrant community. My research shows the importance of institutions that emerge from immigrant communities in language maintenance.
Raina, Mariette R. "Entre modernité et tradition : le cas du yoga du Cachemire à Montréal." Thèse, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/1866/10659.
Full textThe ancient practice of Yoga has seen a phenomenal revival in the last forty years. It has become integrated into a world in which the individual and their relationship with their environment are no longer perceived the same way; yoga conveys malleable concepts, custom-fitting to the ever-changing Western landscape. The province of Quebec, and more specifically the city of Montreal which is the site of my ethnography, has a rich religious past and present where one finds an effervescence of new spiritualities that have developed since the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. In this setting, I discovered a form of yoga originating from the northwestern Indian region of Kashmir and which is founded on the traditions of “non-dualistic tantric kashmir sivaism”. This form of yoga is not yet well known, despite having been studied by academics in India, France, England, Italy, United States, and Canada. It is referred to as “traditional” owing to its non-dualistic orientation of its teachings, based on the tantras. Kashmirian yoga, which is fundamentally based on the senses and tactile exploration, does not exhibit the same characteristics as other mainstream yogas such as ashtanga, Iyengar, or hatha. Our ethnographic exploration focuses on the members of this group and the practice and discourse of its teacher. The members, predominantly of French-Canadian origin, grasp this approach and its soteriology with a uniquely identifiable cultural-religious background, whether it be at the level of the body, ideas, or an amalgamation they envision. The teacher presents the practice as the direct application of the doctrines expressed in the traditional sciptures, the tantras, of Kashmirian Saiva tradition. The practice of Kashmirian yoga therefore seeks to remain traditional while nonetheless being acculturated within the contemporary context in which it is taught. It is therefore crucial to comprehend the dynamics inherent in this process of transposition of tradition within a contemporary context. It is therefore this process of construction and transformation that we will attempt to explain; the latter seemingly established between traditional continuity and the breach of redefined and reinvented elements. We will see that within this dynamic, observed as frequently in its discourse as in its practice, the limits are not as hermetic as they may appear, rather the concepts of cultural identity and temporality clash, building up one on top the other in a incessant and living movement.

Full textFor several years now, the legitimacy of private schools founded on religious or spiritual projects have been the object of thorny debates both in Quebec and elsewhere (Chapter 1). Unlike a number of normative studies already produced on this topic, this thesis presents an empirical contribution to understanding the reality of some such schools in Montreal. Our general objective consists of appreciating how the religious or spiritual dimensions of private schools specific to minority groups or social currents (Jewish, Muslim, Waldorf) are transferred into discourse and practices within the schools. Exploring schools that protect the educational projects of diverse minorities, this study opens a broader window onto ethnic and religious identities. Here, I examine meaningful differences and similarities between three such schools. This is followed by an attempt to understand what discourse and practices within these schools tell us about common expectations with relation to education in a liberal context. I therefore pay attention (in Chapter 2), to interactions between the “secular” curriculum and a religious or spiritual perspective, as well as to the notion of autonomy in schooling, to citizenship training, and to the prioritization of educational values. Much like Juteau (1999), among others, I find these schools to be educational “communities”. My methodological approach (Chapter 3), with an ethnographic orientation, draws on participant observation carried out in Grades 5 and 6 primary school classrooms, as well as in Years 1 and 2 secondary classrooms (approximately 3 days in each class). It also involves more than 45 interviews, carried out with teachers, school administrators, and the parents of students. Even though my approach does not involve identifying a relevant theory, I am nevertheless guided by the method of “grounded theory” as a means of analysing my data. The first analytical chapter (Chapter 4), illustrates a more or less “ideal type” of communialization, given that the Waldorf school focuses on spiritual work without necessarily situating itself with relation to other social groups. This reflects how an identity distinction can be constructed through rooting oneself in a tradition and in a memory “created” by the school. Meanwhile, the Muslim school (Chapter 5) adapts references associated with the religion in an attempt to constitute a “bridge” between primary socialization and that of the host society. I argue that while the administration and the teachers of the school do not reinvent a belief system, they do not entirely reproduce an identical system from elsewhere either. With regards to the Jewish case (Chapter 6), most notably the school fosters the externalization of an ethno-religious community. The Jewish tradition being taught at school is often described as “non-religious traditionalism” by school officials, and therefore presents few re-interpretations or transformations of the tradition in the context of the school. A last analytical chapter (Chapter 7) addresses the three schools in comparative scope, in order to put into perspective how these institutions transmit identitary cultures and lifestyles that exceed the framework of any of the schools, which encompass religious and/or spiritual beliefs without being reduced to these.
Roberts, Rosemary L. ""It's all a Giant Web" : syncretism, agency and (re)connection in a contemporary Pagan community." Thèse, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/1866/3521.
Full textAnthropologists have been examining religious syncretism—the process of combining elements from diverse sources—in religions of the world for decades, but very little attention has been given to one highly syncretic New Religious Movement: contemporary Paganism. Through the narratives of several contemporary Pagans in Montreal, Quebec, I explore how and why practitioners are inspired to make choices to incorporate diverse elements from religious and non-religious sources; recourse to other sources represents an effort to create a deeper, more personally meaningful religious experience. The creativity involved in constructing one’s own spiritual practice and belief system is often driven by a desire for (re)connection—to the earth, to one’s ancestors, to a community—and a greater sense of personal agency is gained through this process. Being a participant in this community greatly shaped my research experience as well, and I explore my position as an anthropologist at home along side these narratives.

Full textWhen it was about of New France's elitism, historians have tended to erase the women from their writings; this concept has long been associated with the male world. The decision to exclude the feminine gent is not surprising when we know that the definitions attached to the elitism, primarily come from the profession as well as the places of people in the institutions or in the structures of power. At that time, most of women haven't held a decisional function; they were maintained, ''thanks'' to patriarchy in the domestic sphere. Despite these findings, the memory is still interested in the relevance of a feminine elite definition. So, we try to show that women in New France also had elite gathering places. To achieve this, we study the journey of the main Officers of the Holy Family Ladies’s brotherhood (Montreal) between 1724 and 1760. In order to know their socio-economic status, this memory is used to know some characteristic elements: the socio-professional status of their fathers and husbands, the amounts of dowries and préciputs in their marriage contracts, the age at first marriage, the births and the infant mortality. These varied indicators show that actually the majority of these ladies came from an elitist environment. To consolidate this conclusion, the memory analyzes the behavior of these women in connection with the distinct characteristic of elites : the networking. Networking is particularly interested in the practice of godmothering ; who are the Officers' sponsors, who are the godmother of their children and from whom are they the godmothers. This last part of memory come to confirm the elitist dimension of Officers of the Holy Family.

Full textThis thesis concerns the religious hybridities between Catholicism and Pentecostalism in two congregations in Montreal. Faced with the gaps in the research regarding the influence of Catholicism on Neopentecostalism, we have compared certain strategies of a multi-ethnic Charismatic Neopentecostal Church with the strategies of a Latin American Catholic Charismatic community, in order to explain how these hybridities manifest in the congregations. Some hybridities are found in the adaptation of these communities to the Quebec context and in the adaptation of the Gospel and the religious practices that mark the process of integration of immigrants into the congregations and the host society. The charismatic communities become epicenters of ethnic groupings in which we can observe continuities, transformations and cultural innovations. In my field work in these two groups, I have found evidence regarding the influence of Catholicism on the Neopentecostalism and vice versa, as well as syncretic interpenetrations.

Full textBelly-stomachaches in children are a space of hybridity and creolization, affected by social and cultural dimensions. These aches are collectively constructed within nuclear families, with their migratory histories and their sufferings. Having interviewed Haitian families living in Montreal, we documented the illness trajectories, the perceptions, explanations and means of relieving the aches, which all interact in a dynamic mode. Generally speaking, the children perceive their belly-stomachaches as an irregular experience that has an impact on their social life, although tolerated by the children and theirs mothers. Families have not received a medical diagnosis and give temporary, changing explanations to the aches, in a constant reformulation. In general, families will use different methods to deal with belly and stomach aches. The family space, church activities, and official medicine are privileged therapeutic spaces.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the study of the relationship between religious beliefs, economic development and socio-cultural identity of Lebanon. This topic is generated by two approaches: a conceptual approach to describing the relationship between religion and economic development, and an approach to revealing the relationship between the three elements of the subject and requiring strict adherence to the Lebanese in Lebanon and the Lebanese in Montreal. Two types of empirical studies are possible to explain the relation between the three elements of the subject: studies to test the link between religion and development in Lebanon and Montreal and studies dealing with the issue of identity. Historical, sociological and empirical analyses show that there is in general a correlation between religion and development. Our investigations point out that this correlation is still checked in Lebanon. The cultural and religious views show that religion and family are two inseparable elements of the socio-cultural identity of Lebanese. Religion is a value that can influence consumer choice Lebanese. Indeed, a reciprocal relationship is established between the two. Studies conducted in Lebanon and Montreal also highlight that the degree of religiosity may determine some social behaviors; this creates a chain between the social behavior of a Lebanese, his religious affiliations that reflect his identity, and economic development. Thus, religious beliefs indoctrinate economic development at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels.
