  • Multiculturalism and the De-Politicization of Blackness in Canada: the Case of Flow 93.5 Fm
    MULTICULTURALISM AND THE DE-POLITICIZATION OF BLACKNESS IN CANADA: THE CASE OF FLOW 93.5 FM by Kisrene McKenzie A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Kisrene McKenzie 2009 MULTICULTURALISM AND THE DE-POLITICIZATION OF BLACKNESS IN CANADA: THE CASE OF FLOW 93.5 FM Master of Arts 2009 Kisrene McKenzie Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract This thesis presents a case study of Canada‟s first Black owned radio station, FLOW 93.5 FM, to demonstrate how official multiculturalism, in its formulation and implementation, negates Canada‟s history of slavery and racial inequality. As a response to diversity, multiculturalism shifts the focus away from racial inequality to cultural difference. Consequently, Black self-determination is unauthorized. By investigating FLOW‟s radio license applications, programming and advertisements, this thesis reveals just how the vision of a Black focus radio station dissolved in order to fit the practical and ideological framework of multiculturalism so that Blackness could be easily commodified. This thesis concludes that FLOW is not a Black radio station but instead is a multicultural radio station – one that specifically markets a de-politicized Blackness. As a result, multiculturalism poses serious consequences for imagining and engaging with Blackness as a politics that may address the needs of Black communities in Canada. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I extend my deepest gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Sherene Razack, for her guidance, constant support, encouragement and initial interest in my thesis topic.

  • 2011 Long List Press Release
    POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ANNOUNCES THE 2011 LONG LIST. Toronto, ON (June 16, 2011) The Polaris Music Prize Long List was revealed today by Steve Jordan, Prize Founder and Executive Director, at a press conference held at the Drake Hotel in Toronto earlier today. This is the sixth year of the prize, which awards $30,000 to the best Canadian alBum, judged solely on artistic merit, without regard to genre or record sales. The Long List consists of the top 40 full-length Canadian records released from June 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011, according to a vote by the 227 memBers of the Polaris Music Prize jury. The jury consists of music journalists, broadcasters and Bloggers from across Canada. No music industry personnel with direct financial relationships with artists vote for Polaris. “An unprecedented numBer of jury memBers agonized over paring their ballots down to five choices. In our view their careful consideration has culminated in the best Long List in our history,” said Jordan. Jordan also announced that the Long List is being presented by Recordings Arts Collecting Society, a division of ACTRA. “The Polaris Music Prize is an important event for Canadian recording artists and is one of the few awards where the winner is chosen based solely on artistic merit,” said Ferne Downey, ACTRA National President. “ACTRA RACS is thrilled to come on board to sponsor this year’s Long List and celeBrate the best music our country has to offer.” The Polaris Jury will now vote to reduce the Long List to the 10 title Short List which will be revealed July 6 at the Drake Hotel in Toronto on a live broadcast on SIRIUS Satellite Radio Canada’s channel 152 and CBC Radio 3.

    A Welcome Welcome to the 20th annual SummerWorks Theatre Festival. Toronto’s Indie Theatre and Arts Festival. Over the past three years, SummerWorks has evolved from an indie-theatre festival to an indie-arts festival. I believe that it’s important to continue to explore the necessity and relevance of the theatrical form: how can it contribute, reflect and parallel the world we’re living in? I became interested in what happens to the form when directly paralleled with other forms. Call it a social experi- ment, if you will – a laboratory on relevance and learning. Where do our forms intersect, and how can we use this to our advantage? We’ve been really excited by the results of this evolution, and this year’s Festival continues to build on these principles. Our Theatre line-up is very exciting. The work is strong, diverse, and brave. We also welcome four very impressive shows from outside Ontario in our National Series. See them all if you can. You won’t be disappointed. What are the ingredients that enable certain musicians to fill rooms and create that rare, emotional electricity? There are some obvious answers like: alcohol and rowdy behaviour – but there are also layers to this question that are connected to the visceral nature of the form. This year’s Music Series is the best yet. I hope you’ll take it in. The new Performance Bar brings three different art forms together on the same stage nightly over the course of the Festival. The glue? The National Theatre of the World.

  • Making Noise: Toronto Public Library's Local Music Project
    Making Noise: Toronto Public Library's Local Music Project By Thomas Krzyzanowski1 The singer in a revealingly tight velour bear costume bounces around the stage, screaming hardcore rhymes to the delight of the young people in the crowd. Taking a cue from their enthusiasm, he throws himself onto their upstretched hands and proceeds to crowd surf for a couple of seconds before clambering back to the rest of the band to finish the set. It’s par-for- the-course concert antics for Matt Collins, lead singer for Toronto punk-rap outfit Ninja High School. What’s unusual about this particular display is that it’s not taking place in a dive bar or a concert hall; rather, the boisterous crowd at this show is headbanging and pogoing in the traditionally staid confines of a public library branch. The last few years have been exciting times for music fans in Toronto. New venues have appeared all over the city (some popping up seemingly overnight), and bands you might see playing for a handful of people at the back of a seedy bar can be headlining major international tours a scant few months later. Toronto’s experience is a microcosm (albeit a significant one) of the Canadian popular music scene, which has been flooded over the past decade with talented performers in all genres, pushing their art in new directions and developing supportive communities both nationally and around the world. The significance of this musical renaissance has not been lost on the staff at Toronto Public Library (TPL). Beginning in 2006, TPL has collected albums produced by artists working in and around Toronto.
