Rachel Diane Landy Papers consist of correspondence, reminiscences, legal documents, journal, newspaper and magazine articles and color Xerox copies of photographs as well as original photographs. This collection is of value to researchers studying the history of Hadassah and the living conditions and state of medical care in Palestine during the second decade of the 20th century. It is also of interest to researchers studying women in America during the first half of the 20th century who were able to pursue a challenging and productive career and become a leader and innovator in their chosen field. In addition it will be of interest to those researching the graduates of the Cleveland public and professional schools at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, and the Cleveland Jewish community and the George Crile U.S. Army Hospital in Cleveland during the 1940's.

Diane Arbus‘ photographs are mainly about difference. Most of the time she is trying ‗[…] to suppress, or at least reduce, moral and sensory queasiness‘ (Sontag 1977: 40) in order to represent a world where the subject of the photograph is not merely the ‗other‘ but also the I. Her technique does not coax her subjects into natural poses. Instead she encourages them to be strange and awkward. By posing for her, the revelation of the self is identified with what is odd. This paper aims at understanding the geography of difference that, at the same time, is also of resistance, since Diane Arbus reveals what was forcefully hidden by bringing it into light in such a way that it is impossible to ignore. Her photographs display a poetic beauty that is not only of the ‗I‘ but also of the ‗eye‘. The world that is depicted is one in which we are all the same. She ―atomizes‖ reality by separating each element and ‗Instead of showing identity between things which are different […] everybody is shown to look the same.‘ (Sontag 1977: 47). Furthermore, this paper analyses some of Arbus‘ photographs so as to explain this point of view, by trying to argue that between rejecting and reacting against what is standardized she does not forget the geography of the body which is also a geography of the self. While creating a new imagetic topos, where what is trivial becomes divine, she also presents the frailty of others as our own.

Dans la foulée des récents travaux sur les transferts culturels, Robert Dion a consacré un ouvrage (L’Allemagne de Liberté : sur la germanophilie des intellectuels québécois, 2007) au rapport de fascination « à distance » entretenu avec l’Allemagne par plusieurs collaborateurs regroupés autour de la revue Liberté. Se situant dans le prolongement de l’étude de Dion, ce mémoire propose des analyses de nouvelles et de romans québécois écrits par trois collaborateurs de la revue : Diane-Monique Daviau, Yvon Rivard et Pierre Turgeon. Comportant des références plutôt étoffées à l’Allemagne, leurs textes offrent une perception de l’Autre que l’on peut, suivant la perspective des études interculturelles, examiner sous l’angle d’une « rencontre » entre les cultures. C’est donc à la relation avec la langue, avec les lieux, avec l’histoire et la littérature allemands que nous nous intéressons, cherchant non seulement à qualifier le rapport à l’altérité allemande qu’introduisent les textes, mais aussi à identifier certaines conséquences formelles d’une mise en scène littéraire de l’Autre – pratiques polyphoniques, types de procédés intertextuels, etc. Ce travail, qui a également pour objectif de présenter une réflexion novatrice sur l’inscription des thèmes de l’exil, du décentrement et de la migration dans la littérature québécoise contemporaine, lie la référence allemande à l’« enquête sur soi » qu’accomplissent les personnages de Daviau, de Rivard et de Turgeon, révélant que dans leur quête, ces protagonistes prennent souvent la mesure de leur propre « précarité », et, dans certains cas, d’un « héritage de la pauvreté » (Yvon Rivard) qui serait leur – deux motifs majeurs de la littérature québécoise.
