BUFFOON was developed and first produced by the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto, Canada, Richard Rose Artistic Director, in November 2019. FALL TRIO 2020 FALL legacy circle sponsor 2 Welcome Welcome back to the Arts Club’s Granville Island Stage for Buffoon. It is thrilling to once again have a production in this space after more than seven months of darkness. For all not-for-profit performing arts charities across the nation, this is a period of staggering heartbreak. At the Arts Club, it has been tough to know we cannot provide the same level of support through employment to artists, and also to our talented teams of theatrical technicians, artisans, and arts administrators. We hope there is light at the end of the tunnel soon. One of the artists whom the Arts Club has supported over the years is the playwright of this production: Anosh Irani. Nearly two decades ago, the Arts Club saw the potential in this UBC student and produced the world premiere of his very first play, The Matka King, in 2003. Since then, we have gone on to premiere his plays My Granny the Goldfish and The Men in White, and to stage the first local productions ofBombay Black and, now, Buffoon. Anosh has also published four critically acclaimed novels: The Cripple and His Talismans, The Song of Kahunsha (an international bestseller and a finalist for CBC Radio’s Canada Reads and the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize); Dahanu Road; and The Parcel (a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award). The Parcel, released in 2016, was chosen as one of the best books of the year by The Globe and Mail, National Post, the CBC, The Walrus, and Quill & Quire. We tell you all this because we’re immensely proud of Anosh and his accomplishments. His career trajectory is also a testament to the Arts Club’s donor-funded Silver Commissions initiative, which supports local playwrights to create new works for our stages. If you’d like to donate to this essential program, please visit artsclub.com/support. Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting live theatre. Thank you for knowing the benefits it brings to your life and the life of this community. Thank you for supporting the Arts Club. It really does mean the world to us. With gratitude, Ashlie and Peter ashlie corcoran artistic director peter cathie white executive director 3 Land Acknowledgement The Arts Club Theatre Company would like to acknowledge that this production takes place on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, in particular the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/ Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations. We are honoured to live, work, and play on this land together. The Playwright My grand aunt used to paint portraits of clowns. As a child, there was one I remember distinctly. Just a face: white makeup, red lips. I don’t think he had a red nose but I could be wrong. The eyes were what got me. He looked haunted, as if he was being pursued by someone, or something. “The eyes are the hardest to paint,” my grand aunt would say. It didn’t surprise me. Whenever I was alone in that room, I’d stare into his eyes in order to figure out what had happened to him. “What’s behind you?” I wanted to know. I asked myself the same question when it came to some people in my family. They were great storytellers, and lived with tremendous chutzpah, but I always got the sense that there was something not funny that enabled them to be funny, or carry a joke too far, or end up being tremendously kind one minute, and then turn on a dime the next. The humour came with sadness, and some of it was mine. It came from the idea of impermanence, the realization at a very early age that things did not and could not last. When I looked at my grandparents, grand aunt and uncles, I wanted to remain in that moment, partake of their performance and largesse. I wish they were alive today to see Buffoon. Felix the clown is an ode to them. In a way, he is them. So now I’m introducing them to you.

  • Canada and the Middle East Today: Electoral Politics and Foreign Policy
    CANADA AND THE MIDDLE EAST TODAY: ELECTORAL POLITICS AND FOREIGN POLICY Donald Barry Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power in 2006 with little experience in foreign affairs but with a well developed plan to transform his minority Conservative administration into a majority government replacing the Liberals as Canada’s “natural governing party.”1 Because his party’s core of Anglo-Protestant supporters was not large enough to achieve this goal, Harper appealed to non- traditional Conservatives, including Jews, on the basis of shared social values. His efforts were matched by those of Jewish leaders and the government of Israel to win the backing of the government and its followers in the face of declining domestic support for Israel and the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism. These factors accelerated a change in Canada’s Middle East policy that began under Prime Minister Paul Martin, from a carefully balanced stance to one that overwhelm- ingly favors Israel. Harper’s “pro-Israel politics,” Michelle Collins observes, has “won the respect—and support—of a large segment of Canada’s organized Jewish community.”2 However, it has isolated Canada from significant shifts in Middle East diplomacy and marginalized its ability to play a constructive role in the region. Harper and the Jewish Vote When he became leader of the Canadian Alliance party, which merged with the Progressive Conservatives to form the Conservative Party of Canada in 2004, Tom Flanagan says that Harper realized “The traditional Conservative base of Anglophone Protestants [was] too narrow to win modern Canadian elections.”3 In a speech to the conservative organization Civitas, in 2003, Harper argued that the only way to achieve power was to focus not on the tired wish list of economic conservatives or “neo-cons,” as they’d become known, but on what he called “theo-cons”—those social conservatives who care passionately about hot-button issues that turn on family, crime, and defense.

  • Myth Making, Juridification, and Parasitical Discourse: a Barthesian Semiotic Demystification of Canadian Political Discourse on Marijuana
    MYTH MAKING, JURIDIFICATION, AND PARASITICAL DISCOURSE: A BARTHESIAN SEMIOTIC DEMYSTIFICATION OF CANADIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE ON MARIJUANA DANIEL PIERRE-CHARLES CRÉPAULT Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Criminology Department of Criminology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Daniel Pierre-Charles Crépault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ABSTRACT The legalization of marijuana in Canada represents a significant change in the course of Canadian drug policy. Using a semiotic approach based on the work of Roland Barthes, this dissertation explores marijuana’s signification within the House of Commons and Senate debates between 1891 and 2018. When examined through this conceptual lens, the ongoing parliamentary debates about marijuana over the last 127 years are revealed to be rife with what Barthes referred to as myths, ideas that have become so familiar that they cease to be recognized as constructions and appear innocent and natural. Exploring one such myth—the necessity of asserting “paternal power” over individuals deemed incapable of rational calculation—this dissertation demonstrates that the processes of political debate and law-making are also a complex “politics of signification” in which myths are continually being invoked, (re)produced, and (re)transmitted. The evolution of this myth is traced to the contemporary era and it is shown that recent attempts to criminalize, decriminalize, and legalize marijuana are indices of a process of juridification that is entrenching legal regulation into increasingly new areas of Canadian life in order to assert greater control over the consumption of marijuana and, importantly, over the risks that this activity has been semiologically associated with.

  • White Men, Non-White Women, and Sexual Crisis in Antebellum America
    "A Plumb Craving for the Other Color": White Men, Non-White Women, and Sexual Crisis in Antebellum America By Alison Marie Weiss A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Paula Fass, Chair Professor Waldo Martin Professor Margaret Chowning Professor Brian DeLay Professor Elisa Tamarkin Spring 2013 Copyright 2013 by Alison Marie Weiss 1 Abstract “A Plumb Craving for the Other Color”: White Men, Non-White Women, and Sexual Crisis in Antebellum America by Alison Marie Weiss Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Paula Fass, Chair “‘A Plumb Craving for the Other Color’: White Men, Non-White Women, and Sexual Crisis in Antebellum America” examines interracial relations between white men and non-white women in the antebellum period. Focusing on black, Indian, and Spanish American women, this dissertation argues that such liaisons were far more prevalent, institutionalized, and tolerated than historians have previously argued. Although such phenomena as black concubines, tribally organized Indian marriages, and land-rich Mexican wives have been separately examined, no single study has put them together and questioned their particular prevalence at a specific time in American history. This dissertation argues that the relationships white men formed with non- white women follow certain patterns that evidence a sexual “crisis” in antebellum America. Taking evidence from court records, periodicals, diaries, letters, travelogues and fiction, this study reveals that non-white women and their relations with white men were often portrayed in astonishingly similar ways.
