Abstract This dissertation argues that the recent refashioning of the genealogical plot by Canadian women entails a dual process whereby, on the one hand, the idea of family is radically redefined and, on the other hand, the conservative traditions of family are in some way recuperated. For my analysis of the multi-generational family history, 1 develop a complex critical framework which demonstrates that the organizing principles goveming any particular conception of family will also influence the way that family's story is nmted.

  • “Think of Me As Your Conscience”: Spectres in Recent English-Canadian Historical Fiction
    “Think of me as your conscience”: Spectres in recent English-Canadian historical fiction by Reginald G. D. Wiebe A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Reginald G. D. Wiebe, 2015 ii “Think of me as your conscience”: Spectres in recent English-Canadian historical fiction Abstract In this dissertation I will discuss how English-Canadian writers of recent historical fiction incorporate ghosts for the purposes of recuperation: to suggest both the persistence of historical injustices and to signal the possibility of healing. Recognizing that views of Canada’s alleged ghostlessness perpetuate a colonial overwriting of the varied histories that preceded Confederation, many writers prominently feature history and hauntings to represent that Canada does, in fact, have a storied past. Recent historical fiction by English-Canadian writers has frequently demonstrated less interest in postmodern practices and more interest considering the past as ontologically stable, though not completely accessible. This is often, I argue, in the service of a postcolonial project to revise history to acknowledge the injustices and traumas that colonial historiography has suppressed. Spectres can negotiate a desire for retaining skepticism of the inherent biases of historiography and the need to maintain some level of historical certainty in order to advocate for a particular cause. Using Jacques Derrida’s concept of Hauntology and close readings of five novels, I contend that spectres are essential in postcolonial projects of illuminating the past for the purposes of recuperation in recent historical fiction. The goal of many novels of haunting and history is not only to note historical wrongs – to highlight the sense of unease and illegitimacy that ghosts signal – but also to suggest possible avenues of recovery.

    IN MY SKIN PILOT 17TH AUGUST 2018 Written by Kayleigh Llewellyn C/o Expectation Entertainment 1 INT / EXT. BEDROOM OF A FANCY OCEAN VIEW APARTMENT - DAY 1 A FRENCH WOMAN’S SULTRY VOICE narrates over the below action. The sound of waves crashing in the distance, the occasional seagull caw. Almost like an art house French film... Almost. FRENCH WOMAN (V.O.) A seagull flew in and landed Gold shimmer on her wings * A seagull watches through open balcony doors as a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, who will we come to know as POPPY, sleeps on white sheets, sunlight kissing her face. FRENCH WOMAN (V.O.) Bird in me, roaming freely My head weary * POPPY’S sipping coffee - froth on the end of her nose. She realises and laughs maniacally. FRENCH WOMAN (V.O.) My eyes teary This is love * POPPY jumps on the bed, jubilantly swinging a pillow in a pillow fight, but when the camera pans around - it’s the seagull stood there. As if it’s the bird she’s whacking... FRENCH WOMAN (V.O) Like a candle in a dark room Like a blow heater in a shed * POPPY’S lying on the bed, the sheets fluttering above her as she laughs. Just a seagull wing edging in to shot. FRENCH WOMAN (V.O) (CONT’D) But then Seagull flies away Even though you pray * The sun disappears, the saturation of the shot becoming cold and grey. The bed now empty. FRENCH WOMAN (V.O.) Gone for every day This is love * A spilt cup of coffee on the table, a single feather lying in the pooled liquid.

  • Teaching Resource: Interview Methods
    Teaching resource: Interview methods Illustrating interview methods using our extensive data collection Copyright © 2021 University of Essex. Created by UK Data Archive, UK Data Service Introduction Interviewing is a frequently used method in social research with its suitability being entirely dependent on the particular research question. Qualitative interviewing is generally distinguished from questionnaire-based interviewing, even if the form of communication, such as face-to face conversation, may be the same. This teaching resource provides instructors and students with materials designed to assist in teaching qualitative interviewing. The UK Data Service has created this resource to illustrate interview methods using its extensive data collection held as part of the UK Data Archive holdings, and, in particular, to assist instructors who have limited research materials of their own. The resource provides brief summaries of several different interviewing techniques and each summary is accompanied by full transcripts or excerpts and the interview schedule (or guidance notes). It concludes with selected references and practical suggestions for how to use the materials for teaching. Introduction to qualitative interviews Interviewing is a frequently used method in social research. It is generally distinguished from questionnaire-based interviewing, even if the form of communication, such as face-to face conversation, may be the same. Some interview styles produce highly structured data on people's opinions on a specific matter, whereas other interviews facilitate a more evocative communication of people's life experiences, activities, emotions and identities. Qualitative interviews In qualitative interviews the interviewees are given space to expand their answers and accounts of their experiences and feelings.
