«The Acadian Historical Village invites you to discover our ancestor’s riche heritage, their culture and their traditions. This site offers you three types of exploration: an exhibition, a visit and four amusing and educational interactive games. The Exhibition is a theme presentation of the life of Acadians in past centuries. Each of the themes is divided into sub themes covering several aspects of Acadian traditions and culture.»]]> «Many factors have contributed to what is called the "Acadian Identity". Amongst these are: a common experience shared by the first settlers; an independent spirit principally the result of having been left to themselves by their mother country; a common language and religion that were shared with only a small number of those other settlers who were also discovering the "New World". However, amongst all these factors, none has had as much impact as the forcible expulsion of the Acadians during the years 1755 to 1763. All Acadians, no matter where they live today, see the "great upheaval", or the deportation as the ultimate factor of their common identity.» ]]> «C'est la France qui colonise d'abord l'Acadie à partir de 1604. Les Poitevins et les Basques sont les plus nombreux à partir vers le nouveau continent. Après de longues disputes avec l'Angleterre, la France signe en 1713 un traité qui lui donne juridiction sur l'Île-Saint-Jean (Île-du-Prince-Édouard) - où elle établit une colonie permanente en 1720, et sur l'Île Royale (Île-du-Cap-Breton). La Nouvelle-Écosse continentale tombe alors sous contrôle britannique.» ]]> «L'année précédente, l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard (alors l'Isle Saint-Jean) avait été cédée à un favori du roi, le comte de Saint-Pierre. Espérant établir une prospère industrie de pêche, celui-ci forme une compagnie qui s'affaira dès lors à installer son quartier général et une base appelée Port La Joye. La compagnie attira des colons et ce fut le début de la première colonie européenne de l'île.» ]]> «The history of the Chinese in Canada is the history of a people who were powerless and discriminated against, a people who persevered against hardship and humiliation. It is a history of a people who sacrificed the present because they had faith that life would be better for future generations.» ]]> «The exhibition The African American Odyssey: A Quest for Full Citizenship, showcases the incomparable African American collections of the Library of Congress.

On December 8, 1941 (the day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor), Alan Lomax, then "assistant in charge" of the Archive of American Folk Song (now the Archive of Folk Culture, American Folklife Center), sent a telegram to fieldworkers in ten different localities across the United States, asking them to collect "man-on-the-street" reactions of ordinary Americans to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the subsequent declaration of war by the United States.» ]]> «Although official numbers mislead, reliable estimates suggest that in 1933, about one-third of the Unites States' workforce found itself unemployed, and the average family income had fallen nearly forty percent since 1929 (Elder 1920). By December, 102,000 dependent and neglected children were placed in foster care and an additional 140,000 in orphanages (Morton 438). Thousands of others were forced into early labor to help support their struggling families. Many dropped out of school.

«Anti-napoleonic caricature, both disrespectful and perverse, had two aims in mind. On the one hand, it launched a direct attack against the Emperor's image with the national variations which we will study further along the way. On the other hand, it attempted to break the spirit of the French which had already been damaged by Napoleon's excesses...»]]> «Travel through our 400 year history, tracing our roots, and read important documents outlining events that shaped our lives and communities.»]]> Universidad de Alicante.
«Carlos Esplá Rizo nació en Alicante el 23 de junio de 1895 en el seno de una familia republicana de clase media. Educado en un ambiente liberal y culto, pronto dos de los más destacados republicanos de la ciudad -el Dr. Rico y el poeta Sellés-, le tomarían como discípulo predilecto, inculcándole su sentido ético de la vida y el amor por las ideas de progreso y solidaridad.
Desde 1912 participó en la reorganización del Partido Republicano alicantino, fundando un año después en compañía de un grupo de amigos el periódico El Luchador, en adelante órgano de expresión de los republicanos de izquierda de la ciudad. Sus furibundos artículos antimonárquicos le costarían en 1916 el destierro a Valencia, ciudad en la que comenzó a destacar como periodista y como activista político. En la capital del Turia conoció e intimó con Felix de Azzati, Marcelino Domingo, Roberto Castrovido, Vicente Marco Miranda, los hermanos Estellés, los hermanos Just, Eugenio Noel y Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, logrando alcanzar un nombre sobresaliente entre los periodistas republicanos valencianos.»]]>«... está en permanente construcción, como los recuerdos, se proyecta hacia el futuro sin límite de tiempo ni espacio.

Includes sculpture, pottery, metalwork, jewelry, tomb equipment, coins, gems and seals, glass, painting, furniture, and architecture created between 6,000 B.C. and A.D. 600.»]]> «To bring art to the people: that is what Walter Crane, Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Albert Hahn, Frans Masereel and Gerd Arntz, the five artists in this on-line exhibition wanted. They made prints in large editions and illustrations in popular magazines instead of paintings. In this way, they could reach a large audience, and what's more: an audience that would never visit a museum.
Art not only had to reach ordinary people, it also had to contribute to social change. Crane, Steinlen, Hahn, Masereel and Arntz adapted their subjects and style to their political convictions. They depicted daily life, social problems and the struggle for a better society. Their best work is as valid today as when it was created, from the 1880s to the 1930s. For some artists, political involvement, aiming at comprehensibility and the use of cheap printing techniques are no restraints but stimuli.»]]> Catálogo.
«En el verano de 1939, apenas terminada la Guerra Civil Española y poco antes de dar comienzo la II Guerra Mundial, Ginebra albergó una exposición antológica con parte de las piezas del patrimonio artístico de nuestro país, trasladadas a la ciudad suiza para salvarlas del grave peligro de destrucción durante la contienda. Entre ellas se contaban las obras maestras del Museo del Prado. Ahora, una muestra esencialmente fotográfica y documental vuelve a la ciudad que fue sede de la antigua Sociedad de Naciones, para rendir homenaje a aquel ingente esfuerzo de protección cultural que permitió la supervivencia del mejor legado artístico español. La operación organizada por las autoridades de la República Española para preservar ese legado representa un ejemplo de pasión por la cultura, incluso en los momentos más dramáticos, que sigue vigente en un mundo sacudido aún en algunos países por la misma irracionalidad que hace décadas mutiló el patrimonio y, por lo tanto, el alma de nuestra nación y del resto de nuestro continente.» ]]> «Desde su aparición en el siglo XIX, el cartel ha cumplido una función de comunicación y transmisión de mensajes a una sociedad, en su mayoría analfabeta, que requería una organización visual que enfatizara los símbolos y le diera a la imagen un sentido expresivo, un modo de lectura del discurso.»
«La producción cartelística en España durante la República y, especialmente, en la Guerra Civil, fue importantísima; partidos políticos, sindicatos y diferentes entidades, vieron en el cartel el medio idóneo para exponer sus consignas y llegar al pueblo de un modo rápido y eficaz. Las posibilidades que potencia el cartel para alcanzar las transformaciones sociales son infinitas, por ello, un número considerable de artistas ponen su esfuerzo y su talento al servicio de una ideología, y el resultado es la ingente produccion llevada a cabo en estos años.
El catálogo que ahora presentamos, recoge todos los carteles de guerra conservados en la Biblioteca Histórica; 260 carteles que ofrecen una precisa perspectiva de lo que fue la producción cartelística de la República entre los años 1936-1939, que Carmen Grimau estimó en 1.000-1.500 carteles.»]]>Virtual Museum Canada.

Un acierto que agradecerán cuantas personas se acerquen a contemplar las fotografías que forman esta exposición.
Fue este país, abierto a Europa durante el siglo XIX, objeto de deseo y curiosidad para escritores y artistas, en una visión bastante alejada de la realidad, las más de las veces, y que dio en llamarse orientalismo. La fotografía, nacida por aquellas fechas, iba a ser ayuda esencial para apartarse de estereotipos, convirtiéndose en apoyo imprescindible del africanismo, corriente que sustituyó a la anterior.» ]]> «The last naval engagement of the Seven Years War between France and Great Britain for possession of North America.» ]]> «Probably the first Sikhs to see British Columbia were the Punjabi soldiers Sikhs just landed in Canada from the Hong Kong regiments travelling through Canada after celebrating Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in London, England in 1887.

«Welcome to Windsor, the oldest French colony west of Montréal - in fact, the first permanent European settlement in all of Ontario! The founding of Fort Pontchartrain at Detroit in 1701, is an historical fact familiar to many people. What is less known, and seldom appreciated, is the history of a continuous French presence that has survived in this part of the world for nearly three centuries, cut off from and forgotten by the rest of the French-speaking population of North America. How is it that we still find a francophone culture here, in spite of all the pressures to assimilate? Take a few moments to discover - or rediscover - three centuries of history and culture.

It was these images of thousands in refugee camps and of survivors being plucked from the South China Sea that convinced governments around the world to accommodate the mass movements of Indochinese refugees.

«Este V centenario del nacimiento de Carlos V nos ha dado, junto con grandes Congresos y magnas exposiciones, no pocos artículos y algunos libros en los que los historiadores de media Europa han expresado su opinión sobre el Emperador: Recordemos, a bote pronto, algunas de las figuras más destacadas: el inglés John Elliott, el francés Joseph Pérez, el austríaco Alfred Kohler. Y curiosamente, frente a la avalancha de las conmemoraciones de aquella época, como un homenaje de esa media Europa a la figura del gran Emperador, lo que estos notables historiadores vienen a decirnos es que no nos engañemos: no estamos ante un hombre de su tiempo, no ante un príncipe del Renacimiento, sino ante una figura medieval.

Like other illustrators and writers of the period, he depicted Indian-White relations in terms of savagery versus civilization and encouraged Americans to visualize the nation’s Westward expansion in heroic terms.

Os restantes tempos de censura da história portuguesa ? e foram muitos desde a Inquisição - não são contemplados nesta primeira fase da GALERIA. Começando pela censura instaurada menos de um mês após o golpe militar de 28 de Maio de 1926, e que se foi apurando com a mestria do ditador Salazar, estaremos a falar de um dos processos censórios mais bem urdidos da história repressiva da humanidade. Engenhosamente, diversos mecanismos estavam articulados de forma a ?proteger? a ideologia do regime, de maneira aparentemente invisível e estimulando a autocensura. Tratou-se de uma máquina censória que durou cerca de 48 anos e que se inculcou nos interstícios da sociedade portuguesa. Grande parte das provas desapareceu, mas o que ficou é suficiente para dar a noção da monstruosidade praticada. Na GALERIA podem ser apreciadas muitas provas censuradas, a par da legislação e de uma cronologia com os principais factos. Os cibernautas poderão ainda ter acesso a testemunhos, a protestos em favor da abolição da censura e à imprensa clandestina que de 1926 a 1974 se produziu, numa resistência continuada. O fim da Censura, com o 25 de Abril de 1974, abriu o maior período de liberdade de expressão da história portuguesa.»]]> Musées imaginaries.
«La Nouvelle-France désignait l'ensemble des territoires de l'Amérique du Nord sous administration française, avant 1763. Dans sa plus grande dimension, avant le Traité d'Utrecht (1713), la Nouvelle-France comprenait cinq colonies possédant, chacune, une administration propre: le Canada, l'Acadie, la Baie d'Hudson, Terre-Neuve, la Louisiane.

Or, paradoxalement, les auteurs qui ont créé le mot, puis illustré le genre littéraire inventé par Thomas More en 1516, avaient plutôt pour ambition d'élargir le champ du possible, et d'abord de l'explorer. Certes, l'utopie se caractérise par un recours à la fiction, par un artifice littéraire qui consiste à décrire une société idéale dans une géographie imaginaire, souvent dans le cadre d'un récit de voyage purement romanesque. Mais imaginaire ou fictif ne veut pas dire impossible : tout rêve n'est pas chimère. Les utopies relevant de la littérature politique, du XVIe au XVIIIe siècle, participent d'une critique de l'ordre existant et d'une volonté de le réformer en profondeur ; le recours à la fiction est un procédé qui permet de prendre ses distances par rapport au présent pour mieux le relativiser et de décrire, d'une manière aussi concrète que possible, ce qui pourrait être. Et l'épanouissement du genre utopique correspond à une période où l'on pense, justement, que, plutôt que d'attendre un monde meilleur dans un au-delà providentiel, les hommes devraient construire autrement leurs formes d'organisation politique et sociale pour venir à bout des vices, des guerres et des misères. En ce sens, les descriptions qu'ils proposent, dans lesquelles ils font voir des cités heureuses bien gouvernées, visent à convaincre leurs lecteurs que d'autres modes de vie sont possibles.» ]]> «Le pain est au cœur de l'alimentation médiévale, accompagné de vin et de viande.
