  • 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).

  • Québécitude and the Visual Contextualization of Language In
    Alternative Francophone vol.1, 9(2016) : 136-155 http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/af Y a-t-il des traces du sentiment de l’identité canadienne dans la BD québécoise? Mira Falardeau Chercheure indépendante Parler de l’identité canadienne dans une forme d’expression québécoise revient à questionner les fondements de l’identité québécoise, avec toutes les oppositions, pour ne pas dire les contradictions inhérentes au propos. Notre postulat soutient que ces deux identités se recoupent, même si dans son discours, la culture québécoise se distingue habituellement par sa différence et sa fierté de l’être. Dans les faits, les deux cultures sont les plus souvent imbriquées, l’une faisant partie de l’autre, aussi bien du point de vue géo — politique que culturel. La BD, art par excellence du symbole et de la litote, a su synthétiser ces points de vue et à travers six œuvres sélectionnées chez six grands artistes de la BD québécoise, échelonnées de 1900 à nos jours, nous tentons ici d’éclairer ces tiraillements et de démontrer comment ces mouvements parfois antagonistes donnent lieu à une parole dynamique et représentative. Baptiste, le cocasse diplomate international, Onésime et les ruraux de Chartier, le super antihéros loufoque Capitaine Kébec, le Carcajou fripon amérindien de Laniel, la citadine solitaire du métro de Doucet, enfin Paul face à la société québécoise, tous à leur façon sont les chantres d’une façon de voir qui nous réunit à travers nos divergences. De notre projecteur, nous éclairerons tout d’abord leur tonalité de base. Puis, dans le sillon ainsi creusé, nous soulignerons la fibre particulière que chaque œuvre vient flatter et éventuellement, les ambiguïtés du discours de ces grandes figures de notre imaginaire collectif.

William Fogle, Jr. ∆X '70, Editor February 6, 2011 The Delta Chi Association, Ithaca NY ©2011 FOREWORD⎯ The First Edition of The Historical Register of the Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon at Cornell University was completed and published in 1994 with a print run of five copies. It was based on a FileExpress database constructed during the Nineteen-Eighties from a review of the ∆X Chapter Meeting Minutes and several published chapter membership directories. A redacted version was released on the Cornell University eCommons@Cornell website on 26 March 2010. This Second Edition of The Historical Register was produced following a 2010 review of the Personal Record Blank (PRB) initiation records held by the Delta Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity Headquarters in Ann Arbor MI. The first PRB form found in the ∆KE Headquarters collection was that of Brother Willard Cameron Cool 1916 (∆X initiate #427, b. 18 August 1891, i. 1 December 1912). This paper-based system continued up until the time when Brother Charles Richard Spaziani, Jr. 1997 was initiated in 1994. Additional resources, e.g. the Cornell University website directory, the Stewart Howe Alumni Service database, and the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) were used to add members initiated during the past two decades and confirm death dates of deceased members. In some cases, back issues of the Delta Chi Deke and the Cornell Alumni Magazine provided data to resolve names and class years.

PARADIS PRINTER TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING 1937 PREFATORY NOTE In the statistical tables, and in the review of the mining industry of the Province during the year, the term "production" is synonymous with "quantity sold, shipped, or used", and does not necessarily represent "out- put". The ore and other mineral products remaining as "stock on hand" at the end of the year are not included in the production figures. Unless otherwise stated, the ton used throughout is that of 2,000 pounds, and the year referred to is the calendar year, ending December 31st. Values are given in Canadian funds. The present report was preceded on March 4th by a statistical state- ment, giving provisional figures of production, subject to revision. The figures in the present volume supersede the provisional ones. The Annual Report of the Bureau of Mines for 1936 is published in several parts, of which this volume is Part A.
