Desi Valentine Integrated Final Project MAPPING DIFFERENCE THROUGH THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S AWARDS: NATIONAL IDENTITY PEDAGOGY IN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE FICTION, 1971-1982 By DESI VALENTINE Integrated Studies Project submitted to Dr. Lisa Micheelsen in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta October, 2014 MAPPING DIFFERENCE IN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE FICTION ii Abstract In this study, I explore the political, historical and social contexts of Canadian literary canon formation and identify the Governor General's Awards as a key mechanism of the Canadian state's national identity project. During the post-war period, the Government of Canada became concerned with differentiating our culture from that of the United States and of Great Britain, resulting in a new interest in uniquely Canadian cultural production. Nationally and internationally the 1960s and 1970s were times of great political unrest, reflected in Canada by minority group civil rights pressures and, most intensely, by French-Canadians' demands for nationhood within the province of Quebec. Out of this milieu emerged the Canada Council for the Arts' acquisition of the Governor General's Awards in 1959, The Official Languages Act of 1969, and the 1971 White Paper on Canadian Multiculturalism, which contains the founding and enduring tenets of our current multiculturalism policies. In order to problematize Canada's multicultural mythology, I look for de-racialized, counter-discursive narratives of difference to mark points of resistance against the emerging legitimation of state-vetted formations of social identities during the policies' nascent expansion. Via self-consciously positional critical discourse analyses of novels given the Governor General's Award for English-Language Fiction during this period, I outline a provisional collective biography of 1970s Canada. I conclude that the education in Canadian identity narrated by state-vetted fiction of this period represents the double-pedagogy of inclusion/exclusion through which Canada's past and current processes of ethnic and behavioural 'whiteness' are superficially contested but purposefully maintained. MAPPING DIFFERENCE IN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE FICTION iii To Mike, for all of the times you listened to me parse theory well past midnight, filled the backseat with library books, traveled across the country and the planet to watch me present my work, held my hand, dried my tears, poured my wine, shut down my laptop, cheered for me, and proved yourself to be my best and dearest friend. Thank you, my love. I could never have done this without you. MAPPING DIFFERENCE IN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE FICTION iv Acknowledgements I would like to express sincere thanks to Dr. Lisa Micheelsen for opening my eyes to critical theory, for introducing me to the interdisciplinary, educational social justice project that is Cultural Studies, and for her encouragement and feedback throughout my degree program. Thank you so much, Lisa. Your kind words kept me lifted when I wasn't sure I would make it through this. I am also grateful for the support and guidance of Dr. Joseph Pivato and Dr. Carolyn Redl, who have made me a better writer, a better public speaker, and a better educator than I dreamed possible two years ago. Thank you for helping to clear a space for me to write my way home.

Memory, in this context, is not ana-historic; rather, it has a proleptic function. It engages the past but it does so in order to restructure the present and remember the future. The cohesiveness of the national imaginary that emerges from it is not the same as the cohesive nation of that past. While the cohesiveness depended on constructing an imaginary homogeneity, the cohesive nation of the present has moved beyond a genetic sense of national kinship; instead, it depends on – in fact it celebrates – the politics of difference. (Kamboureli, 2004, p. 51) This passage from Smaro Kamboureli's chapter "The Culture of Celebrity and National Pedagogy" in Cynthia Sugars' (2004) Home-Work: Postcoloniaism, Pedagogy & Canadian Literature provides the entry point for this paper's exploration of difference in Governor General's Award winning English-language fiction from the inception of Canada's Multiculturalism policy in 1971 to the patriation of the Canadian Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982. I am, irrevocably, situated in the present and therefore cannot be fully immersed in the circumstances of the past. As Carolyn Redl (1996) points out in "Neither Here nor There: Canadian Fiction by the Multicultural Generation", cultural texts read differently through a backward looking gaze (p. 23). I cannot claim to be immune to the national imaginary through which my present tense is filtered, but I am intent on interrogating its politics of difference. MAPPING DIFFERENCE IN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE FICTION 2 I was born in the late 1970s, entered elementary school the year the Canadian Constitution was patriated, and I graduated from high school into an officially Multicultural Canadian populace in which it was perfectly all right for me to be black/brown/mixed- race/mulatto/African-Canadian, but extremely poor manners for me to talk about how the race on my face may influence my job prospects, my wages, or my particular allotment of cultural capital (Brydon, 2003, p. 68; Goldie, 2003, p. 301; King, 2012, p. 185). Like Smaro Kamboureli (2000), Roxana Ng (2005), and a growing host of Canadian scholars and critics, I hope to write about difference from difference, working from a self-conscious awareness of my socially constructed positionality to interrogate the discursive scaffolds on which our positions in difference are balanced and how they may be shifted free. I use the plural of 'scaffold' intentionally because we each occupy multiple positionalities, and the cultural capital those discursive locations infer varies among sociopolitical contexts. Stuart Hall tells us there are no fixed identities (1996) – personal or cultural, an assertion with which Kamboureli (2000) agrees; however, the illusion of fixity allows for the productive interrogation of those structures that most benefit from such illusions. In more pragmatic terms, a cautious acceptance of difference as a fixed category against which identities adhere relationally as 'Other' allows me to build a box around my field of analysis in order that the

    Ms Coll 00050 Davies (Robertson) Papers Robertson Davies Papers (gift of June Davis) Dates: 1929-2008 Extent: 115 boxes (22 metres) Biographical Description: Robertson Davies was born in Thamesville, Ontario in 1913 and was the third son of W. Rupert Davies and Florence Sheppard McKay. Davies’ father, Rupert Davies was born in Wales and was the publisher of The Kingston Whig Standard and was appointed to the Senate as a Liberal in 1942, a position he would hold until his death in 1967. As a young child, Robertson Davies moved with his family to Renfrew, Ontario, where his father managed the local newspaper, the Renfrew Mercury. The family would later relocate to Kingston in 1925. Between 1928 and 1932, Davies attended Upper Canada College in Toronto, where he performed in theatrical performances and wrote and edited the school paper, The College Times. After graduating, Davies attended Queen’s University in Kingston, where he was enrolled as a special student as he was not working towards a specific degree. Between 1932 and 1935, Davies wrote for the school paper and performed and directed theatrical plays. In 1935, Davies traveled to England to study at Baillol College at Oxford, where he was enrolled in a Bachelor of Letters degree. At Oxford, Davies performed with the Oxford University Dramatic Society and was a co- founder of the Long Christmas Dinner Society. After graduating in 1938, Davies published his thesis, Shakespeare’s Boy Actors through the publisher J.M Dent & Sons in 1939. In 1938, Davies joined the Old Vic theatre company, where he had roles in The Taming of the Shrew, She Stoops to Conquer, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream and also worked as a teacher of dramatic history at their drama school.

    Award Winning Novels: Plot Summaries for Books in Bayside's Resource Centre (Courtesy of Chapters website) Man Booker Award Winners Mantel, Hilary. Bring Up the Bodies. By 1535 Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith''s son, is far from his humble origins. Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes have risen with those of Anne Boleyn, Henry''s second wife, for whose sake Henry has broken with Rome and created his own church. But Henry''s actions have forced England into dangerous isolation, and Anne has failed to do what she promised: bear a son to secure the Tudor line. When Henry visits Wolf Hall, Cromwell watches as Henry falls in love with the silent, plain Jane Seymour. The minister sees what is at stake: not just the king''s pleasure, but the safety of the nation. As he eases a way through the sexual politics of the court, and its miasma of gossip, he must negotiate a "truth" that will satisfy Henry and secure his own career. But neither minister nor king will emerge undamaged from the bloody theatre of Anne''s final days. Barnes, Julian. The Sense of An Ending. The story of a man coming to terms with the mutable past, Julian Barnes''s new novel is laced with his trademark precision, dexterity and insight. It is the work of one of the world''s most distinguished writers. Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school.

  • Occultism in Robertson Davies's the Deptford Trilogy by Mary Claire Vandenburg a Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Program in E
    Occultism in Robertson Davies’s The Deptford Trilogy By Mary Claire Vandenburg A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in English Language and Literature in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada Final submission August 2013 Copyright © Mary Claire Vandenburg, 2013 Abstract Through an examination of Robertson Davies’s The Deptford Trilogy, this thesis analyses the influence of the international Theosophical movement (with close attention to the Toronto Theosophical Society) and psychoanalysis to the moral world presented in these three Davies novels. Chapter One outlines the context of nineteenth-century Western belief in Theosophy, the most powerful occult movement in the world at the time, with special attention to Toronto as the center for Theosophy in Canada. Chapter Two looks at the occult influence of psychoanalysis, specifically Freud’s uncanny, in Fifth Business, Jung’s theory of individuation in The Manticore and Davies’s growing understanding of Gnosticism in World of Wonders. This second chapter is supported with reference to Davies’s personal library, now housed at the W.D. Jordan Special Collections and Music Library at Queen’s University. I conclude by arguing, with evidence from the novels, that Davies was aware of and influenced by the teachings of the Theosophical Society, which along with his study of Jung, brought him into sympathy with modern Gnosticism. I present evidence that Davies placed numerous hidden references to occult themes within The Deptford Trilogy for the enlightened reader to discover, and that these references offer a new perspective on Davies analysis not yet part of the critical record.

  • Novel and Romance
    NOVEL AND ROMANCE T. D. MacLulich RDECEN, T THEMATIC STUDIES have brought a considerable degree of order into discussions of the main intellectual concerns of Canadian literature. In particular, the thematic critics have specialized in unearthing the hidden patterns of fiction •—• a form which appears to yield more readily to their analysis than does poetry. But the more traditional picture of Canadian fiction, obtained by defining the chronological stages in its development and isolating the formal literary "kinds" of writing, has not advanced significantly beyond the state reached in those two monuments to critical orthodoxy, Desmond Pacey's Creative Writing in Canada and the collectively authored Literary History of Canada. These books propose a simple hypothesis about the development of fiction in Canada : the movement they project is basically a straight-line progression away from romantic and unrealistic treatment and towards a realistic, socially com- mitted fiction. In presenting their argument, the authors make the traditional identification of the mainstream of Canadian fiction with the realistic novels of Grove, Callaghan, MacLennan, and Davies. But this analysis may be misleading. When all the works which fall outside the central tradition are grouped together —• the isolated anomalies like Howard O'Hagan's Tay John and Sheila Watson's The Double Hook, as well as the best of the many works usually described in a somewhat dismissive manner as "regional" — the mavericks seem, in fact, to outnumber the mainstream. The theory of a development towards realism has gained wide credence largely because critics have started with a built-in bias in its favour; they have felt, on what appear to be fundamentally moral grounds, that a progression towards realism ought to have taken place.

  • Sovereignty, the State of Exception and Counter-Culture: Toward a Transnational Critique of State Power in 20Th and 21St Century Anglophone Fiction
    Sovereignty, the State of Exception and Counter-Culture: Toward a Transnational Critique of State Power in 20th and 21st Century Anglophone Fiction by Nicholas Morwood A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English, University of Toronto © Copyright by Nicholas Morwood (2011) ii Sovereignty, the State of Exception and Counter-Culture: Toward a Transnational Critique of State Power in 20th and 21st Century Anglophone Fiction Doctor of Philosophy (2011) Nicholas Morwood Graduate Department of English, University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the way in which contemporary fiction is highly concerned with sovereign power and the state of exception, as described by Giorgio Agamben in State of Exception. While in the last decade Agamben’s work has provided a new locus for the study of state power, I argue that disquiet over the reach of state power into everyday life has existed in fiction since at least the 1980s. Reading James Joyce, Margaret Atwood, Salman Rushdie, Kazuo Ishiguro, Don DeLillo and William Gibson alongside Agamben’s theories of state power and the state of exception sheds light on fictional representations of modern developments in power, the state and the corporate world. Through close analysis of philosophical and fictional texts, I draw out the complex politics of contemporary novelists and underscore the importance of both fictional and theoretical representations of contemporary political power. The dissertation consists of four chapters. Chapter One examines what I contend is new about Agamben’s work on power which is that, unlike Foucault, he accounts for the kind of power that may produce a concentration camp, and examines the place of this power at the heart of contemporary politics.
