  • John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism
    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

  • FEMALE PUBLIC NUDITY in BELLE ÉPOQUE PARIS by LELA LOVETT FELTER-KERLEY a DISSERTATION PRESENTED to the GRADUATE SCHOOL OF
    FEMALE PUBLIC NUDITY IN BELLE ÉPOQUE PARIS By LELA LOVETT FELTER-KERLEY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 by Lela Lovett Felter-Kerley This life-long dream would not have been possible without the vision and encouragement of my parents and the numerous sacrifices of my husband John and daughter Adyla. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Let me begin by saying that nothing could be more foreign, more out-of-character, for me than to write a dissertation on nudity. Raised in a puritanical, middle-class military household during the conservative years of the Reagan administration (lest we forget Edwin Meese?), the closest I came to naked bodies was seeing my baby sister race around the house after having her nightly baths. For years I have thought very little of those first visions and memories of my childhood until now. However the context for my thinking about nudity some twenty odd years later is radically different. Through a series of chance happenings and unforeseen events, I am now confronting my innermost feelings, frustrations, and fascinations with the naked body. It has been as much a taboo for me to think, speak, and write about as it has been for many of closest friends and family members to hear. The University of Florida, its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and its Department of History granted me the academic freedom and financial wherewithal to explore this subject. The Council for European Studies’ generous pre-dissertation fellowship afforded me the opportunity to conduct preliminary research abroad.
