  • JM Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston
    1 'Presences of the Infinite': J. M. Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston PhD Royal Holloway University of London 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Peter Johnston, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Dated: 3 Abstract This thesis articulates the resonances between J. M. Coetzee's lifelong engagement with mathematics and his practice as a novelist, critic, and poet. Though the critical discourse surrounding Coetzee's literary work continues to flourish, and though the basic details of his background in mathematics are now widely acknowledged, his inheritance from that background has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive and mathematically- literate account. In providing such an account, I propose that these two strands of his intellectual trajectory not only developed in parallel, but together engendered several of the characteristic qualities of his finest work. The structure of the thesis is essentially thematic, but is also broadly chronological. Chapter 1 focuses on Coetzee's poetry, charting the increasing involvement of mathematical concepts and methods in his practice and poetics between 1958 and 1979. Chapter 2 situates his master's thesis alongside archival materials from the early stages of his academic career, and thus traces the development of his philosophical interest in the migration of quantificatory metaphors into other conceptual domains. Concentrating on his doctoral thesis and a series of contemporaneous reviews, essays, and lecture notes, Chapter 3 details the calculated ambivalence with which he therein articulates, adopts, and challenges various statistical methods designed to disclose objective truth.

  • About the Author
    Lawrence Hill: About the Author Hill is the author of ten books of fiction and non-fiction. In 2005, he won his first Writing literary honour: a National Magazine Award for the article “Is Africa’s Pain Black America’s Burden?” published in The Walrus. His first two novels were Some Great Thing and Any Known Blood, and his first non-fiction work to attract national attention was the memoir Black Berry, Sweet Juice: On Being Black and White in Canada. But it was his third novel, The Book of Negroes (HarperCollins Canada, 2007) — published in some countries as Someone Knows My Name and in French as Aminata — that attracted widespread attention in Canada and other countries. Lawrence Hill’s non-fiction book, Blood: The Stuff of Life was published in September 2013 by House of Anansi Press. Blood is a personal consideration of the physical, social, cultural and psychological aspects of blood, and how it defines, unites and divides us. Hill drew from the book to deliver the 2013 Massey Lectures across Canada. In 2013, Hill published the essay Dear Sir, I Intend to Burn Your Book: An Anatomy of a Book Burning (University of Alberta Press). His fourth novel, The Illegal, was published by HarperCollins Canada in 2015 and by WW Norton in the USA in 2016. Hill is currently writing a new novel and a children’s book, and is a professor of creative writing at the University of Guelph, in Ontario. Personal Lawrence Hill is the son of American immigrants — a black father and a white mother — who came to Canada the day after they married in 1953 in Washington, D.C.

  • Annual Report 2017 2017 Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 2017 ANNUAL REPORT A REPORT FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2017 saw Museum London celebrate its 37th year at the Forks of the Thames and we started construction on our Centre at the Forks initiative, a project that we think will redefine our place at this location. Centre at the Forks, slated to be in operation this summer, will engage Londoners and visitors alike by delivering innovation in Museum design and programming while contributing to the revitalization of the Forks of the Thames. The project will showcase an expansive, panoramic two-story window and an outdoor terrace, linking Museum London and the Forks of the Thames in a dynamic new relationship at the historic heart of London. Although we are not open yet, the response of those who have toured the construction site has been overwhelmingly positive and we are excited to share it with the community. 2017 was also another strong year for providing our community with an outstanding array of art and history exhibitions. To celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial, the Museum mounted Highlights from 150 Years of Art-Making in London alongside Canadian Eh? A History of the Nation’s Signs and Symbols. We explored the nature of sight and sound with the exhibitions Sparrow Night, Sounds Assembling, and Airwaves: Radio and TV in London, as well as featuring exhibitions that documented the careers of artist Brian Jones and Robert Fones. All these exhibitions were complemented by an expansive program schedule led by our new Curator of Public Programs Anita Bidinosti. While continuing to run our numerous family drop-ins, children’s camps, adult art classes, history walks, and seniors’ talks, the Museum also began expanding its innovative programming.

  • Transnational Black Dialogues Re-Imagining Slavery in the Twenty-First Century
    From: Markus Nehl Transnational Black Dialogues Re-Imagining Slavery in the Twenty-First Century July 2016, 212 p., 34,99 €, ISBN 978-3-8376-3666-6 Markus Nehl focuses on black authors who, from a 21st-century perspective, revisit slavery in the U.S., Ghana, South Africa, Canada and Jamaica. Nehl’s provocative read- ings of Toni Morrison’s A Mercy, Saidiya Hartman’s Lose Your Mother, Yvette Christi- ansë’s Unconfessed, Lawrence Hill’s The Book of Negroes and Marlon James’s The Book of Night Women delineate how these texts engage in a fruitful dialogue with African diaspora theory about the complex relation between the local and transnational and the enduring effects of slavery. Reflecting on the ethics of narration, this study is particu- larly attentive to the risks of representing anti-black violence and to the intricacies in- volved in (re-)appropriating slavery’s archive. Markus Nehl received his PhD from the Graduate School »Practices of Literature« at the University of Münster. His research interests include African American, Black Diaspora and Postcolonial Studies.

  • Writing to Build Community by Lawrence Hill
    Writing to Build Community By Lawrence Hill This piece was originally published in the Winter 2021 issue of Write, the magazine of The Writers’ Union of Canada. When I reimagine the publishing industry through community and collaboration, my mind always goes to my own development as a writer and the community ties that have arisen along the way. What was the first time that I imagined the process of making stories? When did I first write with passion or indignation? And how did working as a writer influence and enrich my own sense of belonging to communities? My brother Dan, sister Karen, and I were lucky to have a mother who read to us and a father who made up wild bedtime stories. My mother, Donna Hill, was a white, sharp-tongued, speak-no-nonsense civil rights activist who couldn’t cook to save her life, but who brought energy, voice, and passion to the things she read to us at night. One of her favourite readings, which I quickly memorized, was the poem “Disobedience” by A.A. Milne. Here’s how it starts: James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree Took great care of his mother Though he was only three The repetition and the over-the-top verbosity appealed to my mother’s silly bone, and formed the marrow of mine. Listening to my mother read poems and stories taught me about playfulness, inanity, and absurdity in language. My father, Daniel G. Hill, an African American WWII vet who married my mother on the Howard University campus in Washington DC in 1953 and moved with her the next day to Toronto, which they both embraced as their new home, never read a book to us aloud.
