      Cet article explore les relations masculines entre Samuel de Champlain et ses alliés autochtones pendant la guerre avec les Agniers de 1609–1610. Cette alliance militaire permettait à Champlain et aux Indiens de faire preuve de leur masculinité en démontrant leur courage, bravoure et leurs prouesses sur le champs de bataille. Contestations et conformités entre eux suscitèrent des liens profonds qui allaient au-delà de la nécessité et de la courtoisie; il y avait entre eux un respect authentique et réciproque concernant leur identité en tant qu'hommes. Contrairement à ses prédécesseurs du 16ème siècle, Jean Ribault et René Laudonnière, dont les carences comme chefs finirent par affaiblir l'implantation des français en Floride, la population de la Nouvelle-France sous Champlain augmenta avec régularité du en grande partie aux alliances durables forgées avec les tribus des Grands-Lacs. Cet article juxtapose les deux tentatives de colonisations françaises et postule que les efforts de Champlain aboutirent car il savait s'adapter aux exigences masculines et à la creation de liens d'amitié de rigueur chez ses alliés, contrairement à ce que se passa en Floride. La guerre avec les Agniers, qui se limita à deux batailles en 1609–1619, fut l'occasion pour Champlain et les hommes Algonquins de démontrer ce que signifiait courage et virilité. La décision de Champlain de nouer une alliance avec les tribus des Grands-Lacs contre les Agniers (membre de la ligue des Iroquois) qui étaient perpétuellement belliqueux n'aboutit pas seulement à un respect mutuel, mais à une connaissance de valeurs masculines communes concernant la prouesse militaire et le courage. Les Indiens et Champlain connaissaient l'importance de démontrer une forte masculinité à la guerre. Champlain reconnaissait qu'il était crucial pour créer et conserver une alliance de faire une bonne prestation sur le champ de bataille et posséder un courage propre aux hommes. Cette similitude permet à Champlain et ses alliés de developer un plus grand sens d'égalité. Contrairement à Jean Ribault et René Laudonnière en Floride le siècle précédent, Champlain s'engageait avec enthousiasme dans les rites autochtones ce qui conduisit à la création d'amitiés chaleureuses. Ces rites masculins produisirent de la stabilité en Nouvelle-France et, au final, le succès de la colonie. Read less

      A space-borne remote sensing method was applied, validated, and demonstrated in a case study on the Samuel de Champlain Bridge in Montreal, Canada. High-resolution C-band radar satellite imagery was analyzed using the Persistent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar technique to derive bridge displacements and compare them against theoretical estimates. Multispectral and long-wave thermal infrared satellite imagery acquired during the InSAR observation period and historical environmental data were analyzed to provide context for the interpretation and understanding of InSAR results. Thermal deformation measurements compared well with their theoretical estimates based on known bridge geometry and ambient temperature data. Non-thermal deformation measurements gave no evidence of settlement during the 2-year monitoring period, as would normally be expected for a newly constructed bridge with its foundation on bedrock. The availability of environmental data obtained from multispectral and thermal infrared satellite imagery was found to be useful in providing context for the bridge stability assessment. Ambient temperature measurements from thermal infrared satellite imagery were found to be a suitable alternative in cases where data from in situ temperature sensors or nearby weather stations are not available or not fit for purpose. No strong correlation was found between the river conditions and bridge deformation results from the InSAR analysis; this is partly due to the fact that most of these effects act along the river flow in the north–south direction, to which the satellite sensor is not sensitive.

    3. Postcolonial Perspectives on Early Modern Canada: Champlain’s Voyages de la Nouvelle France (1632) 2012

      The early modern dimension of francophone postcolonialism has yet to be fully explored. This paper adds historical depth to postcolonial studies by applying post-colonial theory to an early seventeenth-century French colonial text: Samuel de Champlain's Voyages de la Nouvelle France (1632). A postcolonial reading of Champlain's Voyages reveals the ambivalence latent in a text traditionally seen as a straightforward narrative of the coming of French civilization to the Americas. After evaluating the applicability of postcolonial theory to works such as Champlain's Voyages, discussion focuses on an episode from the text in which, on the eve of a battle against the Iroquois, Champlain has a dream predicting the defeat of the enemy by his Huron allies. As the author had previously dismissed, with sceptical superiority, the Amerindian faith in portentous dreams, this apparent shift in cultural allegiance raises interesting questions. Postcolonialism's insights into colonial power relations can shed new light on Champlain's complex relationship with his Amerindian allies and on the identity issues faced by colonizers in 'white settler' colonies. This paper traces Champlain's transformation from Frenchman in Canada to incipient French-Canadian, and ultimately tests the limits of taking a postcolonial perspective on the early modern.
