"This critical analysis of Calvin and Hobbes explores Calvin's world as an intertextual space, revealing a deep reservoir of meanings. Close readings of individual strips highlight the profundity of Calvin's world with respect to a number of life's big questions, including what an individual values, friendship, God, death, and other struggles in life"--Provided by publisher.

On assiste à l'émergence d'une politique de la mémoire avec l'édification d'espaces dédiés à la mémoire coloniale. La mémoire de l'immigration révèle une histoire commune avec le pays d'accueil, tissée de non-dits et de préjugés. Evitant le piège mémoriel, historiens et sociologues rendent compte de leurs réflexions et critiques sur les noces et divorces républicains entre colons et colonisés. Un ouvrage indispensable pour éclairer le triangle des omissions : immigration, mémoire et histoire.
