  • Survival and Postcolonialism in Timothy Findley's Not Wanted On
    Survival and Postcolonialism in Timothy Findley’s Not Wanted on the Voyage Riikka Antikainen University of Tampere School of Language, Translation and Literary Studies English Philology Pro Gradu Thesis May 2013 Tampereen yliopisto Englantilainen filologia Kieli-, käännös- ja kirjallisuustieteiden yksikkö ANTIKAINEN, RIIKKA: Survival and Postcolonialism in Timothy Findley’s Not Wanted on the Voyage Pro Gradu -tutkielma, 68 sivua Toukokuu 2013 Tarkastelen tutkimuksessani postkolonialismia ja selviytymistä Timothy Findleyn romaanissa Not Wanted on the Voyage (1984). Kyseistä romaania on tutkittu verraten vähän, vaikka eri tutkijat ovat päätyneet mitä erilaisimpiin tulkintoihin sen merkityksistä. Itse käsittelen sitä kanadalaisena, postkolonialistisena romaanina, jonka tärkeimmäksi teemaksi nousee selviytyminen. Lähtökohta tälle tulkinnalle on Margaret Atwoodin kirja Survival , josta on mahdollista löytää paljon yhtymiskohtia Findleyn romaaniin ja jonka sidon postkolonialistiseen käsitykseen itsestä ja toisesta. Keskeisimmät tutkimuskysymykseni ovat miksi selviytyä, miten selviytyä ja mitä tapahtuu selviytymisen jälkeen. Näiden kysymysten pohjalta pohdin tarinaa myös kolonialistisen ja postkolonialistisen ajan allegoriana. Keskityn tutkimuksessani ensin henkilöihin ja olosuhteisiin, jotka luovat uhreja ja pakottavat selviytymään, minkä jälkeen käsittelen yksittäisiä hahmoja erilaisina uhreina. Lopuksi pohdin selviytymistä ajan ja maailman, tai yhteiskunnan, kannalta pyrkien sitomaan Findleyn romaanin laajempaan, postkolonialistiseen viitekehykseen.

  • New City Stage Players 2015-The
    Theater, Dance, Comedy and Performance in Chicago JAN 22 Players 2015: The Fifty People Who Really Perform for Chicago The steady expansion of the performing arts in Chicago continues its marvelous pace, with more and better theater, dance, comedy and opera gracing more and better stages each passing year. The upward progression is so steady that epic undertakings—a new campus at Steppenwolf, a bigger chunk of Navy Pier for Chicago Shakes—seem almost business as usual these days. And that is a marvelous thing. This year we again celebrat the lesser‐sung heroes offstage who deal with the less glamorous things like building those new stages, and paying those expanding payrolls withou which the stars would have nowhere to shine. Tragedy has been central to theater since the ancient Greeks first staged it, but the last year has brought a disproportionate volume of real‐ life tragedy to our community. No doubt, the expanding and maturing performing arts universe means that more members of its community will pass o each year, but the number of those struck down long before their expected hour was overwhelming these last twelve months and struck every corner of performing arts, from theater, to dance, to comedy, to opera. Molly Glynn, Jason Chin, Eric Eatherly, Bernie Yvon, Johan Engels, Julia Neary—and others we’ve unintentionally overlooked—we dim our collective marquee for you. (Brian Hieggelke) Players was written by Zach Freeman and Sharon Hoyer With additional contributions by Brian Hieggelke, Alex Huntsberger, Aaron Hunt, Hugh Iglarsh and Loy Webb All photos by Joe Mazza/Brave‐Lux, taken on location at Steppenwolf Theatre, Goodman Theatre, Lyric Opera of Chicago and Brave‐Lux Stud 1 Andrew Alexander CEO, co‐owner, Second City A few years ago, we lauded Andrew Alexander’s addition of the UP Comedy Club to the Second City realm on Wells Street.

    VETO VIII: 15 July 2006 Questions by Zarya Cynader (University of British Columbia) TOSSUPS 1. It has been published annually since 1986, and is probably the world’s best-known indicator of purchasing-power parity. In 2004, an analogue involving the tall latte was developed, a nod to Starbucks Coffee as its ubiquity approaches that of the namesake product. For ten points, identify this index pub- lished by The Economist, ”arguably the world's most accurate financial indicator to be based on a fast- food item.” ANSWER: Big Mac Index 2. Richard Feynman said that “all good theoretical physicists put [it] up on their wall and worry about it”. Several equations have been proposed to relate it to other unitless constants such as e and pi, but none of these gives an accurate value, nor has any sound theoretical support been provided. Arthur Eddington once claimed that it was exactly 1/136, and then revised his so-called proof when it was measured to be closer to 1/137. For ten points, identify the constant characterizing the strength of the electromagnetic force, signified by the letter alpha. ANSWER: (Sommerfeld) fine-structure constant (PROMPT on "alpha" before mentioned) 3. Andrew Hamilton Gault put up $100,000 to finance its formation, which officially took place on August 10th, 1914. Nine days later it was fully manned. Its members won two Victoria Crosses at Passchendaele and another at Parvillers, and participated in the Sicilian campaign in World War II. More recently, Opera- tion Apollo saw 700 members of its third battalion deployed to Afghanistan.

  • Not Wanted on the Voyage
    Cecilia Marte Unpacking the Baggage 'Camp" Humour in Timothy Findley's Not Wanted on the Voyage Some lives are only seen through windows beyond which the appearance of laughter and of screaming is the same. .. .there are no beginnings, not even to stories. There are only places where you make an entrance into someone else's life and either stay or turn and go away. FIN DLEY: 1975, 217 In 1981, John R Hulcoop commented that Timothy Findley "has rarely (if ever) received the kind of attention he merits, [and] has, rather, been largely ignored by reviewers and critics alike" (Hulcoop 43). Hulcoop called this marginalization of Findley as a writer to be reck- oned with a "sad irony," especially in light of the fact that, by the year in which Hulcoop was writing, Findley had already been publishing his work since the mid-1960s (43). More recently, Findley has achieved the kind of prominence that make him and his works the subjects of entire books of scholarship, by such critics as Lorraine M. York and Donna Pennée, as well as a plethora of published articles by others, not to mention an annotated bibliography. However, the reasons for what appears to be a reluctance on the part of critics in earlier years to deal with Findley's work at all probably also inform their later focus on the more "serious" aspects of his novels. The critics seem as uncomfortable dealing with the humour in some of Findley's work, as they are with the sensibility behind it, primarily because much of the humour is "camp" and the sensibility, "gay." ' Their rigorous, often exclusive, attention to his "apocalyptic vision" elides the humorous under- belly of the horror many of his works contain (Hutcheon 216).
