Les ports coloniaux espagnols du bassin des Caraïbes (1520-1820) - Conférence (en français) par Claude Alix
Vendredi 5 février - 19h
Dans les années 1520, la découverte, l’exploration et la colonisation des Amériques par l'Espagne n’est possible qu’en contrôlant le bassin des Caraïbes : pour ce faire elle doit donc imaginer et construire toute une infrastructure portuaire et militaire de villes côtières.
Là, les galions y trouveront protection et ravitaillement, les marchands pourront négocier achat et vente de marchandises, les autorités administratives pourront organiser l’expansion colonisatrice… et exercer les ponctions nécessaires au financement des opérations!
On en trouve la trace en examinant des documents anciens (cartes maritimes, plans de villes fortifiées,…). Un voyage épique où la cartographie se marie avec l’Histoire pour faire revivre cette formidable épopée coloniale.
Des cartes anciennes seront exposées à cette occasion. Une partie des bénéfices de la vente des cartes sera reversée à l'Alliance Française.
Entrée libre - Un rafraichissement sera offert après la conférence. |

Nouvelle-France de Jean Beaudin (2004)
avec Noémie Godin-Vigneau, David Lahaye
(in French only)
On the backdrop of a vast historical panorama, the epic tale of great passion of love thwarted by events and men ... The era (1758-61), rich in changes, is between the collapse of New France and the establishment of British rule. An "era of passions." Inspired by real events, the tragic love story of a young peasant of Lower St. Lawrence and a dashing adventurer is here in the way of a inevitable destiny, mirroring another story already written, that abandonment of Canada by France.
