Ann Jefferson

This chapter examines the controversies surrounding the Minou Drouet affair, with Minou being a previously unknown eight-year-old child poet who had captured public interest. The publisher René Julliard had distributed a selection of her letters and poems in the form of a little pamphlet sent to critics, writers, and friends “to put down a marker” and provide advance publicity for the first commercial edition of Minou's poetry, Arbre, mon ami (Tree, my friend), which was scheduled to appear in January 1956, whereafter it sold forty-five thousand copies. In the meantime, and in the absence of any book publication, the affair took off and developed into a full-scale controversy as the authenticity of Minou's talent was called into question. This chapter considers Minou's story in light of the public perception on child prodigies—initially as objects of collective curiosity, and hereafter as the target of suspicion.

This chapter explores the relationship between politics and scandal throughout American history. Scandals had been part of American politics since the revolution, but they had never so pervasive as in the last three decades of the twentieth century. They had become integral to partisan strategy, political reform, and the public perception of government. The chapter first considers the role of scandal in national politics in the early postwar era, 1945–1964, before discussing the efforts of public interest groups in collaboration with liberal Democrats to put corruption on the national agenda. It then examines the politics of reform between 1972 and 1978, along with the change in political style that gradually encouraged the latent tendency of democratic politics to veer into scandal during the period 1978–1992. It also looks at television coverage of scandals and the impeachment of Bill Clinton and concludes with some reflections on the future of scandal politics.

The purpose of this article is precisely to outline in what manner and circumstances the Quebec Society of Ethnology came to make the request to the Quebec ministry of Culture for recognition of the practice of ice canoeing. In fact, ice canoeing was the second practice to be listed on the Quebec register on intangible cultural heritage since its institution in 2012. The author points out that the process is not as simple as might be assumed, and it is fortunate that the designation in terms of the Quebec Cultural Heritage Act, adopted in 2012, is not a trivial measure. It involves the minister’s giving status to a part of the intangible heritage of which knowledge, safeguarding, promotion or transferral is in the public interest.
