Helléniste reconnu, le professeur Jacques Desautels s'est fait connaître notamment par ses travaux sur la mythologie grecque, en particulier son ouvrage « Dieux et mythes de la Grèce ancienne », qui reçoit présentement un accueil remarquable en Europe, autant auprès des spécialistes que du public.
C'est à lui aussi qu'on doit en partie le renouveau des études hippocratiques au Canada : dès 1972, il a participé aux groupes de recherche internationaux sur le corpus des écrits médicaux et il a fondé, avec un collègue, un centre de recherche dont les réalisations ont largement dépassé les frontières.
On doit souligner enfin le souci exceptionnel de diffusion de la recherche que n'a cessé de manifester le professeur Desautels, auprès de ses pairs, mais tout autant auprès d'un public plus large : qu'il suffise de citer les cours télévisés qu'il a créés sur la mythologie, puis sur la civilisation grecque, dont on a fortement souligné la qualité et le rayonnement, ou même les romans historiques qu'il a publiés « Le Quatrième Roi Mage » en 1993 et « La Dame de Chypre » en 1996.

Michel Despland a contribué à la philosophie de la religion par des études historiques et historiographiques. En examinant les oeuvres de Kant et de Platon, il a rejoint, par-delà la pensée explicite de ces auteurs, leurs pratiques herméneutiques, c'est-à-dire leurs manières d'interpréter les religions qu'ils trouvaient dans leur cité.
Les résultats qu'il obtint sur I'histoire de la construction de I'objet religieux lui ont permis de reprendre I'histoire de I'histoire des religions (et d'autres entreprises de nature critique et scientifique). Il s'est
distingué par ses travaux sur le développement de ces disciplines en France.

Gordon H. Dixon is one of the world' s leading protein chemists. In addition to determining the amino acid sequence of the active center (catalytic site) of the enzyme chymotrypsin, the first enzyme for which this was done, and showing the way by which similar studies might be applied to other enzymes, he was one of the leaders of a group of workers who determined the structure of haptoglobins and drew attention to chemical differences in genetically different haptoglobins. A few years ago, a group of protein chemists in Pittsburgh, Pa., succeeded in synthesizing the A & B chains of insulin, and they sent these chains to Dixon in Canada for assembly into a complete insulin molecule, which he successfully accomplished.

Prof. Peter Dodwell
Affiliation: Queen's University
Deceased Date: 2006-09-19

Peter Dodwell is one of the most respected experimental psychologists in Canada. Over a period of three decades he has made significant contributions to the study and understanding of perception. His research has been focussed on a fundamental problem of nature: How does the brain construct a stable, coherent, perceptual world out of the unstable, ever-changing, brief glimpses of it? He has combined the rigour of mathematical thinking and the hard facts of the neurophysiology of vision with his own imaginative psychological and psychophysical experiments into an elegant explanation of the global processes that underlie the perception of the world.

Lubomir Dolezel has contributed with distinction to a number of areas of study: Czech, Russian and comparative literary history, linguistics and linguistic studies of literary works, post-structural and semiotic approaches to texts. He has also been the scholar who has done the most to initiate and develop the theory of possible worlds, i.e. the narratological approach permitting the precise analysis and interpretation of the means used in the "creation" of fictional worlds in literary works. The number of references to his books and other major statements, including a very great number of his articles, is truly staggering. All his accomplishments, but especially the possible world theory, have given him the highest international profile in literary theory and methodology held by any Canadian scholar since Northrop Frye.
