  • S of S Season IV OS
    THE CREATION OF CANADA A Scattering of Seeds - The Creation of Canada is a series of 52 documentary films exploring the dreams, daring and determination of Canada’s first immigrants. It is a journey into the hopes and triumphs of those who built a nation, interpreted by Canada’s best independent documentary filmmakers. The series draws on a rich archive of home movies, photographs, letters home, diaries and oral history. These are personal portraits celebrating the diversity of the first families who arrived during Canada’s formative years of nation building. From the early French, Irish and African-American settler to the Chilean music teacher and Chinese painter, this kaleidoscope of images and experiences is unparal- leled in Canadian filmmaking. By personalizing the stories of immigrants, A Scattering of Seeds makes the stranger immediately familiar and the beginnings of this country a shared experience.There is conflict, oppression and the occasional sinking of hearts, yet the resolve and character of these immigrants is what built our nation and allows it to grow. At the root of each story is the instinct to contribute something, to leave some- thing, to mark the efforts of a life. Who we were before we became who we are is our lasting legacy and our greatest teacher. A Scattering of Seeds demonstrates a profound understanding of the sense of community that continues to shape a country still in transition. “. an evocative anthology of personal stories which tell Canadian tales, not through great men, but through the unsung heroes

Mythology of the Motherland in the Canadian newspaper Mail and Empire.1 Françoise LE JEUNE (Université de Nantes – CRHIA) Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee has been described by many historians as a great celebration of the Empire through a tribute paid to its monarch, Victoria Regina et Imperatrix, while the first Jubilee, held ten years before, had celebrated Victoria Regina only. The event was staged by the War Office, the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury, and Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary. It was designed to bring together to London the various Premiers and governor-generals of Victoria's colonies and territories.

  • Uptake and Genre: the Canadian Reception of Suffrage Militancy
    Women's Studies International Forum 29 (2006) 279–288 www.elsevier.com/locate/wsif Uptake and genre: The Canadian reception of suffrage militancy Katja Thieme Department of English, University of British Columbia, 397-1873 East Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6T 1Z1 Synopsis From 1909 onward, the Canadian suffrage debate was heavily influenced by reports on suffrage militancy from Great Britain and the United States. Militancy played an influential role in Canadian suffrage history not through its practice–there was no Canadian militant campaign–but through an ongoing discussion of its meaning. Using Anne Freadman's notions of genre and uptake, this paper analyzes the discursive uptake of suffrage militancy—from news reports on front pages, to commentary on women's pages, to reviews of Emmeline Pankhurst's Canadian speaking engagements. The Canadian debate about militancy is a fertile site for drawing out the roles of genre and uptake in the political positioning of both suffragists and suffrage sceptics. Talk about militancy serves as a way to regulate the uptake of this particular genre of political action, whereby both sides tended to share the optimistic view that Canadian suffragists where not yet in need of militancy. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
