Nevertheless, the French did not take effective control of their foothold on this continent until 7^ years later when Samuel de Champlain founded the settlement of Quebec in 1608, at the foot of Cape Diamond on the St. Laurence River. At first, the settlement was conceived of as a trading post for the lucrative fur trade, but two difficul­ ties soon becam,e apparent—problems that have plagued French Canada to the present day—the difficulty of comirunication across trackless forests and m.ountainous terrain and the rigors of the Great Canadian Winter.

  • Bailey Among the Modernists
    5 PREFACE Rummagings, 20: A.G. Bailey among the Modernists My relationship with Alfred Bailey began in the late 1970s when he kindly agreed to serve on the Editorial Board of Canadian Poetry. I was never fortunate enough to meet him, but from that time until before his death in April 1997 we corresponded sporadically, and I benefitted greatly from his comments on my work and his learned and wise observations on such subjects as poetic form, the Fredericton members of the Confederation group,1 and the literary culture of New Brunswick and Canada. It was Bailey who pointed me in the direction of Arnold Toynbee’s remarks on “The Stimulus of Migration Overseas” in A Study of History” (1934-61) that provided the basis for my essay entitled “Breaking the ‘Cake of Custom’: The Atlantic Crossing as a Rubicon for Female Emigrants to Canada,” which appeared in Re(Dis)covering Our Foremothers (1989), Lorraine McMullen’s edition of the proceedings of a conference in the University of Ottawa’s Reappraisals: Canadian Writers series, so clearly I owe him a lasting debt of gratitude. I still deeply regret that in The Gay]Grey Moose: Essays on the Ecologies and Mythologies of Canadian Poetry, 1690-1990 (1992) I did not discuss Bailey’s “The Muskrat and the Whale” (1973), an ecologically resonant poem in his Thanks for a Drowned Island (1973) whose muskrat M. Travis Lane sees as a “lithe animal unobliged to make Great Pronouncements” and as typifying not just Bailey’s lyric voice, but a “certain kind” of Canadian poetry: “frisk[y],” “moderate,” “medium-conscious,” and characterized “by gaiety and seriousness together” (“A Sense of the Medium” 8).2 Several years before he died, Bailey sent me a copy of his “Literary Memories,” on the understanding that the manuscript was not for publication in Canadian Poetry but for interest as a source of information and insights about his evolution as a poet and thinker and about his involvement in the literary and intellectual currents of his day.

Au nom du conseil d’administration de l’Association d’art des universités du Canada, je souhaite la bienvenue à tous les participants au congrès 2014 de Toronto. C’est toujours un plaisir pour l’Association de venir à Toronto, mais cette année, nous sommes particulièrement heureux d’être accueillis par l’Université OCAD, un établissement jouissant d’une longue et brillante feuille de route en ce qui a trait à la production de certains des plus importants artistes du Canada. J’aimerais remercier l’Université OCAD et sa présidente, Sara Diamond, pour le parrainage de cette conférence. Des remerciements particuliers vont aux coprésidents du comité d’organisation sur place, Charles Reeve et Caroline Langill, ainsi qu’aux membres de leur équipe, Claudette Lauzon, Keith Bresnahan, Anda Kubis, Adam Tindale, Audrey Hudson, Jessica Wyman, Laragh Halldorson et Sarah McLean Knapp. Le programme du congrès de cette année s’annonce très excitant—et rempli! Nous essayons une nouveauté cette année, une journée supplémentaire dédiée au perfectionnement professionnel et à des séances pédagogiques. En tant qu’Association d’art des universités du Canada, nous avons une responsabilité particulière à l’égard du perfectionnement professionnel de nos étudiants aux cycles supérieurs. Comme les emplois traditionnels en enseignement et dans les musées se raréfient, il nous faut aider nos étudiants à trouver des carrières intéressantes, tant au sein des universités qu’à l’extérieur de celles-ci. Je vous encourage à venir écouter notre conférencière Jennifer Polk, du site From PhD to Life, parler de ces possibilités dimanche matin à 9 h 30, et à participer aux tables rondes sur le perfectionnement professionnel et pédagogique qui suivront.

  • The Language of the Incontinent Body in Margaret Laurence's the Stone
    Technologies of Identity: The Language of the Incontinent Body in Margaret Laurence’s The Stone Angel DONNA PALMATEER PENNEE N AN ESSAY ENTITLED “Identity, Genealogy, History” Nikolas Rose explains the Foucauldian sense of “technology” that is signalled I in this paper: Technology, here, refers to any assembly structured by a practical rationality governed by a more or less conscious goal. Human tech- nologies are hybrid assemblages of knowledges, instruments, persons, systems of judgement, buildings and spaces, underpinned at the pro- grammatic level by certain presuppositions about, and objectives for, human beings.… Perhaps the insistence upon an analytic of human technologies is one of the most distinctive features of the approach, … an analysis which does not start from the view that the technologizing of human conduct is malign, but rather examines the ways in which human beings have been simultaneously capacitated and governed by their organization within a technological field. (132; emphasis added) Rose’s terms help to clarify something of what is meant by the “produc- tivity” of “power,” and, while “not start[ing] from the view that the technologizing of human conduct is malign” can permit a more complex view of the historical field than is usually available through cause-effect lenses, I want nevertheless to address the malignancy of technologies of the self. This hurtfulness of history is represented in the literal and figu- rative workings of the incontinent body in Margaret Laurence’s The Stone Angel, a novel that displays the armature of a self simultaneously capaci- tated and governed by the force fields of negative difference.

  • CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE CANADIAN MUSIC SINCE 1940: a QUESTION of NATIONALISM a Thesis Submitted in Partial Satis
    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE CANADIAN MUSIC SINCE 1940: A QUESTION OF NATIONALISM A Thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music by Ronald Frederick Erin August, 1983 J:lhe Thesis of Ronald Frederick Erin is approved: California StD. te Universi tJr, Northridge ii PREFACE This thesis represents a survey of Canadian music since 1940 within the conceptual framework of 'nationalism'. By this selec- tive approach, it does not represent a conclusive view of Canadian music nor does this paper wish to ascribe national priorities more importance than is due. However, Canada has a unique relationship to the question of nationalism. All the arts, including music, have shared in the convolutions of national identity. The rela- tionship between music and nationalism takes on great significance in a country that has claimed cultural independence only in the last 40 years. Therefore, witnessed by Canadian critical res- ponse, the question of national identity in music has become an important factor. \ In utilizing a national focus, I have attempted to give a progressive, accumulative direction to the six chapters covered in this discussion. At the same time, I have attempted to make each chapter self-contained, in order to increase the paper's effective- ness as a reference tool. If the reader wishes to refer back to information on the CBC's CRI-SM record label or the Canadian League of Composers, this informati6n will be found in Chapter IV. Simi- larly, work employing Indian texts will be found in Chapter V. Therefore, a certain amount of redundancy is unavoidable when interconnecting various components.
