  • Theorizing Toronto
    Theorizing Toronto Ioan Davies The spectres drift across the square in rows. How empire permeates! And we sit down in Nathan Phillips square, among the sun, as if our lives were real. Lacunae. Parking lots. Regenerations. Newsstand euphorics and Revell’s1 sign, that not one countryman has learned, that men and women live that they make that life worth dying. Living. Hey, the dead ones! Gentlemen, generations of acquiescent spectres gawk at the chrome on American cars on Queen St, gawk and slump and retreat. And over the square where I sit, congregating above the Archer they crowd in a dense baffled throng and the sun does not shine through (Lee 1972: 36) Thus wrote the Toronto poet Dennis Lee in the early 1970s, contemplating the new Toronto City Hall and the installation of Henry Moore’s statue The Archer, which had caused a major civic upheaval when it was unveiled.2 It marked the moment when the city began to think seriously about its space, as the introduction of new forms of architecture took over from the old: the futuristic City Hall itself (commanding a space beside the red sandstone of the old gothic City Hall), Mies van der Rohe’s Toronto-Dominion Bank on Wellington street (a mass black-and-glass block replacing older, inter-war stone and brick offices), and the freeing of the old harbour and the railway lands beside Lake Ontario for commercial and public development. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the debates over the physical form of the future city centred on which older parts should be preserved, and for what use; where and for whom the new developments should take place; and what would be the pattern of transportation (expressways? public transport?).

  • Framework 2/18
    FrameWork 2/18 Lauren Fournier on Althea Thauberger the reparative practice of re-performing Legend: - - -> performativityi ~~~ interpellationii (a) re-performing In Althea Lorraine, Althea Thauberger stages a performative intervention into the NFB’s archives, fixating on the figure of Lorraine Althea Monk. The artist sees herself in her, maybe: her name sandwiched between this historical figure’s first name and surname: Althea.iii A point of connection. It’s not the only one. Both are women, both have worked as producers and directors of a sort, in different contexts and in different ways. Lorraine Monk was the executive producer of the NFB’s still image division circa 1967: she developed “The People Tree” for Expo 67’s Canadian Pavilion in Montreal. And now, fifty years later, we reach another point of nationalistic relevance: the sesquicentennial. Artists revolt, protest, subvert. Althea Thauberger develops the film L’arbre est dans ses feuilles (The tree is in its leaves), which is shown in Montreal in the MAC’s 2017 exhibition In Search of Expo 67. Lorraine Monk, this figure of white womanhood, of nation-building, of middle-class Canadiana. She’s problematic and we’re paranoid.iv Objects like grey cards, a work desk, a glass ceiling. Monk’s eyes looking downward, then up: at least she gets to see. Althea is attuned to the rhythms of re-performing. This is an integral part of her practice: re-performing, re- casting. Now, Althea moves from her place behind the camera, from her role as director, to the role of director-actor, director-artist, she begins to pose.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • Lawless Lawyers: Indigeneity, Civility, and Violence
    ARTICLES Lawless Lawyers: Indigeneity, Civility, and Violence HEATHER DAVIS-FISCH On 8 June 1826, young members of the Family Compact—allegedly disguised as “Indians”—raided William Lyon Mackenzie’s York office, smashing his printing press and throwing his types into Lake Ontario, to protest defamatory editorials. This essay investigates how the cultural memory of “Indian” disguise emerged by asking what this memory reveals about the performative and political dynamics of this protest. At first glance, the performance conventions and disciplinary function of the Types Riot allow it to be compared to folk protest traditions such as “playing Indian” and charivari. However, the Types Riot differed from these popular performances because the participants were members of the provincial elite, not protestors outside of the structures of power. The rioters’ choice of how to perform their “civilized” authority—through an act of lawless law legitimated through citations of “Indigenous” authority—demonstrates inherent contradictions in how power was enacted in Upper Canada. Furthermore, by engaging in a performance that resembled charivari, the rioters called their own civility—attained through education, wealth, and political connections—into question by behaving like peasants. The Types Riot demonstrates that the Family Compact’s claim to authority based on its members’ civility—their superior values, education, and social privilege—was backed by the threat of uncivil violence. The riot revealed a contradiction that the Upper Canadian elite would, no doubt, have preferred remained private: that in the settler-colony, gentlemanly power relied upon the potential for “savage” retribution, cited through the rioters’ “Indian” disguises. Le 8 juin 1826, un groupe de jeunes membres du Pacte de famille—déguisés selon les dires en « Indiens »—ont pillé les bureaux de William Lyon Mackenzie à York, détruit sa presse et jeté ses caisses de caractères typographiques dans le lac Ontario pour signaler leur opposition à des éditoriaux diffa- matoires qu’il a publiés.

  • Poetics of Denial Expressions of National Identity and Imagined Exile in EnglishCanadian and Romanian Dramas
    Poetics of Denial Expressions of National Identity and Imagined Exile in English-Canadian and Romanian Dramas by DIANA MARIA MANOLE A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Centre for Study of Drama University of Toronto © Copyright by Diana Maria Manole 2010 Poetics of Denial Expressions of National Identity and Imagined Exile in English-Canadian and Romanian Dramas Diana Maria Manole Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Centre for Study of Drama University of Toronto 2010 Abstract After the change of their country’s political and international statuses, post-colonial and respectively post-communist individuals and collectives develop feelings of alienation and estrangement that do not involve physical dislocation. Eventually, they start imagining their national community as a collective of individuals who share this state. Paraphrasing Benedict Anderson’s definition of the nation as an “imagined community,” this study identifies this process as “imagined exile,” an act that temporarily compensates for the absence of a metanarrative of the nation during the post-colonial and post-communist transitions. This dissertation analyzes and compares ten English Canadian and Romanian plays, written between 1976 and 2004, and argues that they function as expressions and agents of post-colonial and respectively post-communist imagined exile, helping their readers and audiences overcome the identity crisis and regain the feeling of belonging to a national community. Chapter 1 explores the development of major theoretical concepts, such as ii nation, national identity, national identity crisis, post-colonialism, and post-communism. Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 analyze dramatic rewritings of historical events, in 1837: The Farmers’ Revolt by the theatre Passe Muraille with Rick Salutin as dramaturge, and A Cold by Marin Sorescu, and of past political leaders, in Sir John, Eh! by Jim Garrard and A Day from the Life of Nicolae Ceausescu by Denis Dinulescu.

But while workers are exploited, then our struggle won’t decline So the lines go marching on. – Excerpt from the Artistic Picket Line Song1 The daily ritual of violence began at dawn. In a desolate industrial park in Metropolitan Toronto’s North York, men and women gathered. Some of them were older immigrants, with weathered yet determined faces. Most, how- ever, were students, social workers, and teachers with long hair representing a wide milieux of the Toronto New Left who came out to stand with these few workers. Here they could put theory into action, a defining moment of nearly a decade of debate and thought on the question of social change, the state, and exploitation.

Discours d’intention et d’accompagnement (Montreeal: Centre de diffusion 3D, 2003), 221–265. 4 The first issue of Impressions was printed in Toronto in March 1970. The original editors were John Prendergrast and John F. Philips, co-founder of the Baldwin Street Gallery of Photography, Toronto. Subsequent co-editors would include Shin Sugino and Isaac Applebaum. The magazine aimed to showcase photographers whose work is “too personal to find an automatic commercial market.” In October 1970, the first issue of Image Nation appeared in Toronto. Edited variously by David Hlynsky, Fletcher Starbuck and others, it succeeded the Rochdale College Image Nation, published in 1969–1970 by a printing collective based at the short-lived “alternative” Rochdale College, Toronto. Image Nation was aimed primarily at photographic artists active within the parallel gallery network across Canada.
