UNIVERSITY STREET DEAN’S MESSAGE Dear MCLL Members, For many of us Fall is a bitter-sweet season. We bid adieu to summer fun and begin to plan for winter, but we also have renewed energy to reflect, to learn. Some of this we will do on our own, in the privacy of our heads and homes. In fact, though, knowledge production is very much a “team game” in the words of Gratton and Scott, authors of “The 100-Year Life”. As they note, “…close collaborative relationships, rich in trust and reputation, allow you to access much wider areas of knowledge and insight…”. And what better place to build up your knowledge stockpile than at the McGill Community for Lifelong Learning (MCLL) and the School of Continuing Studies. Together we, -YOU-, transform and enrich our lives and those around us. At the heart of MCLL lies peer learning. Learning and teaching through collective inquiry and exploration not only enriches us individually but as a community.

Looking at specific historical and contemporary, artistic and theoretical, European and North American examples, the study addresses the various implications of an 'archival turn' for aesthetic, historical, social, cultural, institutional, and/or disciplinary discourses and practices. 1992 – 1998 Ph.D. in Humanities/Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture (Communications, Cultural Studies of Popular Culture; Film Studies, Film Noir & Melodrama, Feminist Film Theory; Literary Theory), Concordia University, Montreal • Thesis: Gender, Genre and Globalization: Discourses of “Femininity” in the Popular Culture of the 1990s The dissertation considers the political scope of appropriation and pastiche practices in recent popular cultural narrative production.
