  • The Habitus of Mackenzie King
    The Habitus of Mackenzie King: Canadian Artists, Cultural Capital and the Struggle for Power Anton Reinhold Wagner A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Theatre and Performance Studies York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada September, 2014 © Anton Reinhold Wagner, 2014 Abstract This dissertation analyzes the struggle between William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister (1922-1930, 1935-1948), and Canadian artists to define and determine the nature and distribution of arts and culture in Canada prior to the 1949 Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters and Sciences. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of habitus, “fields” of knowledge and power, and religious, social and cultural capital, the dissertation analyzes the central paradox of why—despite his decades-long involvement in half-a-dozen artistic disciplines—King failed to implement cultural policies as Prime Minister that would have benefited Canadian artists and the arts and culture in Canada. The dissertation applies Pierre Bourdieu’s model of social change in which “priests” with conservation strategies and charismatic “prophets” with subversion strategies compete among the “laity” for consumers of their respective symbolic goods to document how artists organized locally and nationally to accumulate social, cultural and political capital in their attempt to compel the federal government to implement their cultural objectives—state support for the arts. The dissertation posits that Mackenzie King’s inability to control his sexual impulses led him to espouse a conception of art whose primary function was to project Christian character and ideals.

  • Shakespeare in Production
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-82534-4 - Twelfth Night Edited by Elizabeth Schafer Frontmatter More information SHAKESPEARE IN PRODUCTION TWELFTH NIGHT For four centuries Twelfth Night has inspired theatre directors and perform- ers: some have found class war; some have seen Malvolio as a tragic hero; some have found a passive Viola and others have found an action woman. Whether a production’s emphasis is on gender bending, festivity or trying to reinvent Shakespeare as Chekhov, the sheer variety of Twelfth Nightson offer over the centuries attests to the play’s power as a stimulus to theatrical creativity.The dazzling range of the Twelfth Nights considered here includes the productively wayward as well as the conventionally respectable, produc- tions which play to the contemporary market as well as those that seek to flout tradition. This indispensable stage history covers changing fashions in the fortunes of Twelfth Night, and includes a survey of a wide variety of theatrical interpretations of the play in the English-speaking world. elizabeth schafer is Professor of Drama and Theatre Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her books include MsDirecting Shakespeare: Women Direct Shakespeare (1998), The Taming of the Shrew (Shakespeare in Production, Cambridge, 2002), Lilian Baylis: A Biography (2006) and, with Richard Cave and Brian Woolland, Ben Jonson and Theatre (2000). © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-82534-4 - Twelfth Night Edited by Elizabeth Schafer Frontmatter More information SHAKESPEARE IN PRODUCTION series editors: j. s. bratton and julie hankey This series offers students and researchers the fullest possible stage his- tories of individual Shakespearean texts.
