The modem Canadian political cartoonist, historically speaking, possesses a split identity. The Gazette cartoonist Terry Mosher - a.k.a. Aislin - in his experience, career and involvement in the fall1988 fight against free trade, illustrates the tension inherent in the identity of the modem Canadian political cartoonist. Mosher's experience offers a the ory as to what circumstances might compel a cartoonist to break the cartoonist's compromise - an informaI promise not to use their powerful platform to advance a coherent, systematic and specific political agenda or aim in exchange for editorial independence, journalistic "status," and proper financial remuneration - a state of affairs modem cartoonists are, under normal circumstances, happy to accept. Fantaisiste ou agent provocateur? Le caricaturiste politique canadien moderne souffre, au sens historique, d'une double personnalité. Dans son expérience, sa carrière et son implication en automne 1988 contre le libre-échange, Terry Mosher, du 'The Gazette', aussi connu sous le nom de 'Aislin', met en évidence la dichotomie d'identité du caracaturiste moderne. L'expérience de M. Mosher nous offre une théorie en ce qui concerne les circonstances qui amèneraient à rompre 'le compromis du caricaturiste', une promesse, sans caractère officiel, à laquelle il s'engage à ne pas se servir de sa tribune afin de faire valoir un agenda politique cohérent, systématique et spécifique. En général, ses pairs se contentaient de leur indépendance du rédacteur, de leur prestige professionnel ainsi que d'un salaire satisfaisant en échange de ne pas essayer de prêcher leur propre programme politique.

  • English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada
    Drawing on the Margins of History: English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada by Kevin Ziegler A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Kevin Ziegler 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This study analyzes the techniques that Canadian comics life writers develop to construct personal histories. I examine a broad selection of texts including graphic autobiography, biography, memoir, and diary in order to argue that writers and readers can, through these graphic narratives, engage with an eclectic and eccentric understanding of Canadian historical subjects. Contemporary Canadian comics are important for Canadian literature and life writing because they acknowledge the importance of contemporary urban and marginal subcultures and function as representations of people who occasionally experience economic scarcity. I focus on stories of “ordinary” people because their stories have often been excluded from accounts of Canadian public life and cultural history. Following the example of Barbara Godard, Heather Murray, and Roxanne Rimstead, I re- evaluate Canadian literatures by considering the importance of marginal literary products. Canadian comics authors rarely construct narratives about representative figures standing in place of and speaking for a broad community; instead, they create what Murray calls “history with a human face . the face of the daily, the ordinary” (“Literary History as Microhistory” 411).

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

It is therefore surprising that this widely-appreciated expression of popular culture has received so little scholarly attention.1 Despite an impressive roster of Canadian cartoonists, the work of Peter Desbarats and Terry Mosher stands alone as a historical survey of the genre, and there is only one book-length monograph on Canadian editorial cartoons.2 Few Canadian cartoonists have attracted a serious biographer.3 Nevertheless, as the career of Donald McRitchie demonstrates, political cartoons reflect and reinforce aspects of popular culture, and for this reason they deserve greater attention as a form of public art.

    BOOK REVIEW Randall P. Harrison The Cartoon: Communication to the Quick (Beverly Hills, CA: Sage Publications, 1981). Peter Desbarats and Terry Mosher The Hecklers: A History of Canadian Political Cartooning and a Cartoonists History of Canada o or onto: McClelland and Stewart, 1979). Reviewed by Andrew Osler School of Journalism University of Western Ontario A substantive error in undergraduate essay writing almost as common as the use of "media" as a singular noun, is the notion that these media come in two distinct and forever separated phyla : "Print" and "Visual. 'I Television and the cinema, with their parades of eyeball icons and background miasmas of aural associations, constitute the "visual" media in the popular imagination. Print, on the other hand, tends to be popu- larly perceived as something else, (though pre- cisely what is never entirely clear). Ekposure over time to the ideas of the semiotics theor- ists, perhaps to McLuhan , or to the powerful imagery of James Joyce, eventually creates at least an intellectual awareness of the powerful- ly visual abstract symbolism that is always potentially present in the printed language. Even this belated recognition rarely is extended with any enthusiasm to the associated devices of design, typography, and graphics , however, and at some subconscious level, the entire inapprop- riate undergraduate distinction between print and visual remains in tact. It even has a way of unconsciously lingering on into the agendas of mature communication scholarship. Simply put, newspapers and magazines are not culturally perceived as being visual. Research in these media, therefore, remains pre- dominantly, with some rare and honourable excep- tions, the business of investigating the infor- mational content of words, sentences, and other grammatical paraphernalia.
