Canada ABSTRACT A Love Song for Evie Rose: An Investigation of Health, Education, Identity, and Social Change Kim Hershorn, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2008 This creative investigation revolves around A Love Song for Evie Rose, a semi-autobiographic travel narrative of multiple quests that are part of the same journey: finding a route from pain and illness to wellness; the search for social justice and healthy approaches to social activism; the search for identity and a place to belong; the need to find meaning in the past as well as the future; and the tracing of possible paths to healing the world and the environment, as well as the individual. The investigation of the connection between learning and health is central to this inquiry which comprises a profound reflection on pedagogies of love in both formal and informal education. Excerpted from a longer novel, You Say You Want a Revolution (whose writing was part of the research methodology), the story spans two generations and moves back and forth between several countries and three continents, capturing the political Zeitgeist and history of over three decades from the late sixties to the present. The story of a woman's chronic pain and search for healing is shown against a backdrop of popular culture (especially music) and political unrest that mirrors and often shapes her journey. A series of critical scholarly reflections punctuates, accents, and analyses the series of snapshots and soundbytes that form the narrative, highlighting the intersection and the relationships between personal, social, and political change. The narrative and the accompanying reflections raise and re- iii frame current theoretical questions about health, education, individual and social change, and identities. DEDICATION To my parents, Noreen and Marvin Hershom for their unrelenting love, support, and dedication To my sister, Marny and my brother, Robert for their friendship and for always making me laugh To my PhD supervisor, Dr. Sandra Weber for giving me both the space and the guidance so I could follow my heart ...And to everyone whose hearts have ached and longed for life v TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER ONE 1 YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION: AN OVERTURE 1 Autobiographic Fiction as Inquiry 2 Travel and Music as Metaphors 3 Health, identity, and Social Change 4 Education and Self-Study (Project Background) 5 Cultural Studies & Cultural Reproduction 11 Krisis-A Turning Point in a Disease 15 Love Stories & the Search for Utopia 20 Love-Songlines (Signposts & Life Literacy) 23 The Unlived Past (Time Travel) 24 Heroes 27 CHARACTER MAPS 32 CHAPTER TWO 34 EXCERPT FROM THE NOVEL YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION BEFORE EVIE ROSE'S BIRTH (INDIA 1968) 34 Twists of Fate 34 Connecting 35 Serendipity 38 Peace of Mind 41 Salvation (Ashram of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi-Rishikesh, India) 43 Love at First Sight (Lee meets Vita, Montreal 1969) 49 CHAPTER THREE 51 CONTEXT: OUR LONELY PLANET (2003-2008) REFLECTIONS ON TEACHING SOCIAL CHANGE & WELL-BEING 51 vi End Of Days, Act Now 51 Be the Change-New Forms of Politics 59 The Pathological Pursuit of Power 65 The Lonely Planet 70 False Edens & Magic Pills 73 Have You Been to You Yet? 75 Ham Sandwiches & Pig Farms 78 CHAPTER FOUR 85 EXCERPT FROM THE NOVEL YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION MONTREAL (1980-88) 85 Wishes (Mexico, Christmas Holidays 1980) 85 Others (Evie's Story, Montreal 1982-88; 92 Dishrag (About Evie's Aunt Vita) 95 Another Brick in the Wall (Back to Evie's Story) 98 Against 100 Habit 101 Belonging 103 Meeting John Lennon in a Lucid Dream 106 CHAPTER FIVE 110 EXCERPT FROM THE NOVEL YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION ISRAEL (1967/1989) 110 Knights (About Adam's Dad, Tom) 110 Evie Rose by Any Other Name (Evie and Adam meet again, Israel 1989) 113 Palindromes 115 Nazis 118 Golden 120 Love & War 122 vii The Hope 123 Fortresses & Wandering Minstrels 127 CHAPTER SIX 132 EXCERPT FROM THE NOVEL YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION HIGHER EDUCATION-GOING TO UNIVERSITY (1989-92) 132 Flags (los, Greece 1989) 132 Isn't This Where We Came In?

But how do you change the world? Revolution implies the turning of something around an axis until it returns to its original position. Although the term has been used to refer to significant political and social changes, many historical revolutions have come round full circle back to the place they started. History notoriously repeats itself. Fifty years after the French Revolution, Alphonse Karr, a writer and editor for the newspaper, Le Figaro wrote these famous words in the January 1849 issue of a satirical monthly review he founded, Les Guepes: "plus ga change, plus c'est la meme chose" (The more things change, the more they remain the same). Was he right? In face of current social and environmental crises on a global scale, the need for change is increasingly apparent—from personal projects of self- development and health, to political activism and environmental advocacy, people everywhere are trying to address the ills of the world. But in the light of Karr's epigram, is it possible to break out of the cycles of historical reproduction? How can the past be used to create a healthier future instead of merely being repeated? Is it at all possible to create something new? Or did King Solomon have a point about three thousand years ago when he lamented that there was nothing new under the sun? The question of how to change things for the better is not only central to this thesis, it has been the driving impetus of my life.
