This article describes how the remembrance of
historical events contributes to, and is shaped by, nationalism in Ireland
and Quebec. Remembered historical events contribute to the growth of
...nationalism if they serve at least one of five purposes: defining the
conceptual boundaries of the nation, reinforcing a sense of pride in the
nation's achievements, evoking feelings of pity and indignation at
the losses suffered by the nation, legitimizing the actions or principles
of present-day leaders, or inspiring a belief that the nation will
eventually triumph. Eight remembered events, four in Ireland and four in
Quebec, are discussed in relation to these five purposes. The article
concludes that historical remembrance has been a more powerful influence
on nationalism in Ireland than in Quebec. Résumé. Cet article raconte comment le souvenir

Teachers are, by nature, explorers. This column compares the professional lives of teachers in an age of accountability measured by standardized assessments to those of explorers and cartographers of ...the American West. The author explains that these explorers were able to see more in the terrain than lines on maps and quantities of data collected—they were able to view the territory aesthetically. Like these explorers, teachers and policymakers must map and catalog what they find. Yet there remain some aspects of the classroom‐territory that defy reduction to data retrieved. The author proposes that classrooms are a territory worth exploring in multiple ways and that the aesthetic qualities of the terrain should also be considered. Classrooms are aesthetic environments that evoke emotional responses, and some of their qualities are important goals of schooling that students and teachers cannot easily measure but need to experience and explore firsthand.
September 11, 2001, stands as a watershed in American history. Not since the War of 1812 have civilian targets in the United States been so savagely assaulted by foreigners; and the British burning ...of government buildings in the nation's capital did not begin to approach the degree of carnage inflicted by terrorists in New York City, Washington, D.C., and on Flight 93 over Pennsylvania. Even the Japanese surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, directed toward a military target, now seems less shocking than the murder of over 3,000 mainly civilian people on 9/11.
