  • Public and Counterpublic Spaces in Dionne Brand's
    DECENTRING MULTICULTURALISM: PUBLIC AND COUNTERPUBLIC SPACES IN DIONNE BRAND’S WHAT WE ALL LONG FOR AND TIMOTHY TAYLOR’S STANLEY PARK by Natasha Larissa Sharpe B.F.A, The University of Victoria, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The College of Graduate Studies (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) November 2012 © Natasha Larissa Sharpe, 2012 ii Abstract This study explores the usage of public and counterpublic spaces in two Canadian novels, Dionne Brand‘s What We All Long For (2005) and Timothy Taylor‘s Stanley Park (2001). These navigations and explorations reconstitute public space in order to claim that space for marginalized Canadians, challenging the discourse of multicultural tolerance and constructions of Canadian identity as white. These texts challenge current understandings of citizenship based on exclusion in order to promote a citizenship predicated on civic engagement, coalition, and affinity, rather than essentialist identity. I undertake a close reading and comparison of both novels within the context of Canadian literary history, Canada‘s history of multicultural policy, and the intersections of multicultural discourse and Canadian literature, in particular the ways in which literature by Canadian authors designated as ‗multicultural‘ is appropriated by national multicultural discourse to promote Canadian tolerance and preserve white hegemony and centrality in Canada. My work draws upon theories of postcolonialism, postmodernism, and hybridity to explore race, gender, and class as they constitute subjects within relations of power in these novels. While Brand‘s characters at times seek refuge in subaltern counterpublics, they ultimately realize the limitations and failings of those spaces, opting instead to remake and reimagine the public in their own image as a space for civic engagement on their own terms rather than those of the white, capitalist hegemony.

  • University of Alberta 'Indo-Jazz Fusion'
    University of Alberta ‘Indo-Jazz Fusion’: Jazz and Karnatak Music in Contact by Tanya Kalmanovitch A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music Edmonton, Alberta Spring 2008 Abstract An inherently intercultural music, jazz presents a unique entry in the catalog of interactions between Indian music and the west. This dissertation is situated in a line of recent accounts that reappraise the period of Western colonial hegemony in India by tracing a complex continuum of historical and musical events over three centuries. It charts the historical routes by which jazz and Karnatak music have come into contact in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, both in India and abroad. It presents a detailed account of the history of jazz in India, and Indian music in jazz, and examines jazz’s contact with Karnatak music in three contexts—jazz pedagogy, intercultural collaboration, and the Indian diaspora in the United States—illustrating the musical, social and performative spaces in which these musics come into contact, and describing the specific musical and social practices, and political and social institutions that support this activity. Case studies in this dissertation include an educational exchange between the Jazz and Contemporary Music Program of the New School University (New York, NY) and the Brhaddhvani Research and Training Centre for Musics of the World (Chennai, India), directed by the author in December 2003 – January 2004; a 2001 collaboration between Irish jazz/traditional band Khanda and the Karnataka College of Percussion; and analyses of recent recordings by pianist Vijay Iyer, saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa and drummer Ravish Momin.

Introduction The1 study of urban systems and the role of cities in debates about sustainability is a fashionable topic in numerous fields in academia, with the need for interdisciplinary research being a much-voiced aspect of such academic interest. Yet the contributions of the humanities and the study of culture to these debates stay within the respective disciplines of studying literature and popular culture. In the following reading of Timothy Taylor’s 2001 novel Stanley Park, I intend to explore an avenue that offers some way of making literary studies relevant to the discussion of sustainable cities and the future of urbanity. Following a brief discussion of the possible contributions of literary studies to a better understanding of urban sustainability, the specific ways in which literature can do cultural work within the social setting of the city shall be investigated.

Today, after 45 years of ordained ministry, his passion for God and the Church remains undimmed. As he heads towards retirement at the end of November, Bishop Fenty, 68, has no regrets about the path he has followed from an early age. “I’m convinced that God called me to ordained ministry and I would do it all over again,” he says. “There is no other vocation I would choose than a priest of the Church and now a bishop. It’s something I enjoy getting up to do every single day, in its good moments and not so good moments.” After attending Codrington Col- lege in Barbados, he was ordained a priest in 1975 and served in three parishes there, as well as being a chaplain to the University of the West Indies. From 1980-82, he at- tended Huron College in London, Ont., earning a Master of Divinity degree. He ministered in Barbados until 1992, then answered a call to be the rector of St. Lawrence, LaSalle in the Diocese of Montreal, moving there with his wife Angela and two young children.

  • Jonathan Lasker, 1948 —
    Jonathan Lasker, 1948 — “Over the last thirty years Jonathan Lasker has produced a body of work that, while operating within the general framework of late modernist painting and drawing practice, has mounted a serious challenge to painting’s status quo. In doing so, he has, as much as anyone, maintained the vitality and validity of contemporary abstraction … In Lasker’s work, images … are part of a larger schema, but independent in terms of form, colour, texture, and manner of paint application. Each image becomes a thing itself, an element to be examined, experienced and categorized; a component of the larger grammatical structure that Lasker has built.” – Richard Kalina, Invitational Exhibition of Visual Arts, American Academy of Arts and Letters, New York Lasker has exhibited internationally since the early 1980s. A major retrospective of his work was held at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain in 2003, which travelled to K-20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf. Other notable solo exhibitions include; Jonathan Lasker, Musee d'art Modern, Saint Etienne, France, 2015; Jonathan Lasker: Selective Identity – Paintings from the 1990s, which in 1999-2000 toured the Forum for Contemporary Art, St Louis, Missouri, USA; The Power Plant, Toronto, Canada; Rose Art Museum, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA and the Birmingham Museum of Art, Alabama,USA; Jonathan Lasker: Paintings 1977-1997, toured the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Germany; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Holland and Kunstverein St Gallen im Kunstmuseum, Switzerland in 1997-98. Lasker is represented in numerous public collections, including the Eli Broad Foundation, LA, USA; Hirschhorn Museum, Washington D.C., USA; Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden; MoMA, New York, USA; Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, USA and Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Seville, Spain.
