    POLICING THOSE "WE ALL LONG FOR": ON CANADIAN BL\CK MASCULINITIES By PHANUEL ANTWI, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master ofArts McMaster University © Copyright by Phanuel Antwi, September 2006 ii MASTER OF ARTS (2004) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Policing those "We All Long For": On Canadian Black Masculinities AUTHOR: Phanuel Antwi, B.A. (University of Guelph) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Daniel Coleman NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 148 III Abstract This thesis, with its three chapters covering a range ofrepresentations ofpolice bmtality, social control and Black masculinities in Canada, interrogates texts from multiple genres. My introductory chapter will contextualize the study within the field of contemporary Black Canadian literary and social texts and provides background, by mapping out, understandings ofBlackness in Black Canada. My first chapter engages with national newspapers, the Globe and Mail and The Toronto Star, to name two, to examine how visual factors such as the juxtaposition ofheadlines, photo captions, and cutlines, the nature and quality of images, and the position of stories in the paper and on the page provide visual factors that shape media messages, which in tum shape the public understanding about Black men. Continuing my analysis of the "discursive reproduction of racism" (van Dijk 221), chapter two focuses on Dionne Brand's 2005 novel What We All Long For and Austin Clark's short story "Sometimes A Motherless Child" to address the dehumanizing abuses that encodes the Black male body during episodes of police brutality, and address the attitudes that develop about Black men in the imaginations and consciouness of many Canadians.

    EL MUNDO O NADA (THE WORLD OR NOTHING) INGRID VENINGER A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF FINE ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN FILM YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO April 2019 © Ingrid Veninger, 2019 ABSTRACT This paper elaborates on the process of producing my thesis film, El Mundo o Nada (The World or Nothing), a documentary portrait of 29-year-old twin brothers, Rubert and Rubildo Donatien Dinza, beginning two-months after their migration from Cuba to Spain. For the brothers, The World means achieving one million friends on social media, making their parents proud, and gaining international recognition as performers, Nothing is not an option. Utilizing a diaristic approach, this paper engages with pioneers of the past, filmmakers of the present, and direct experience, in order to explore the challenges of making my first documentary. In contrast to my six previous fiction features, the intention with this project was to start filming without a preconceived outline, treatment or plan. By detailing the process of production in relation to cultivating conditions for discovery, this paper will explore a practice of “uncertainty” and what such a practice involves. Production took place in Barcelona over 11 days, May 21-31, 2018. Editing occurred in three stages over 33 days between July-November, 2018. Sound editing, mixing, and colour grading brought the film to completion in March 2019. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ..............................................................................................................................
