  • War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory
    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence

  • 67: the Christian Pavilion and the Telephone Pavilion”
    Draft Only! Please cite only with author’s permission 1 “Reconstructing Two Immersive Multimedia Pavilions from Expo ‘67: The Christian Pavilion and the Telephone Pavilion” Monika Kin Gagnon Concordia University, April 25 2009 The multi- and single screen pavilion films of Expo 67 have been the subject of the “Canada and the Films of Expo ‘67” research group from Concordia and York Universities for the past two years. In addition to our pragmatic gathering of film elements, pavilion and film documentation and ephemera, journalistic reviews, academic and other reports and analyses, as well as our conducting of interviews with filmmakers, the project has also provided fertile ground for considering various facets of multimedia archiving and documentation of a recent large-scale, event-based phenomena such as Expo ’67. This brief, pre-conference paper introduces some of the issues that have emerged at this stage of our research, with regards to a comparative approach to two pavilions that I have been focusing on: the Christian Pavilion and The Telephone Pavilion. (Other films and pavilions being examined by the group include Labyrinth, Polar Life, A Place to Stand (in the Ontario Pavilion; as well as Citerama [part of the Man and His Community Pavilion], which my colleague Janine Marchessault will discuss, as well as others.) This paper establishes some descriptive background of the two pavilions being discussed as a backdrop for the conference paper. As outlined in my conclusion, these descriptions will be suggestive of some of the questions and challenges that the multi-media history of Expo ‘67 poses to archival research at this particular historical conjuncture.

    L.M. Montgomery: An Annotated Filmography • Benjamin Lefebvre • Resume: Les multiples adaptations cinematographiques et televisuelles d'Anne et la maison auxpignons verts ainsi que les series televisees Les Contes d'Avonlea et Emilie de la nouvelle lune illustrent la popularity sans egal de I'oeuvre de L.M. Montgomery et son potentiel d 'adaptation pour les arts televisuels. Pour faciliter V orientation des chercheurs, des lecterns et des telespectateurs, Benjamin Lefebvre a dresse un catalogue exhaustifde ces productions. Summary: From the multiple film and television versions ofAnne of Green Gables to the weekly television series Road to Avonlea and Emily of New Moon, the numerous televisual adaptations of the work of L.M. Montgomery have enjoyed unprecedented popularity to viewers around the world while sometimes remaining enormously controversial to readers of her work. Montgomery scholar Benjamin Lefebvre offers a detailed, annotated list of these productions to aid scholars, readers, and viewers in their understanding of this ongoing phenomenon. Thisfilmography will be updated on an ongoing basis on CCL's website at http://www.uoguelph.ca/ englit/cd/. his filmography began in December 1987 when, at age ten, I cut out TDavid Wesley's TV Times review ofAnne of Green Gables: The Sequel and saved it carefully in my box of newspaper clippings. Though that clipping now lives in a plastic sheet along with hundreds of other articles I have since clipped, printed off microfilm, or photocopied, it marked the beginning of a large enterprise prompted by a penchant for list-making. What is presented here is a preliminary filmography of the numerous film and television adap- tations of the work of L.M.

  • 181 from Téléroman to Série Télévisée Québécoise
    PREVIOUSLY ON From Téléroman to série télévisée québécoise: The (coming of) Golden Age of Quebec TV Yves Picard The téléroman is Quebec’s distinctive TV fictional genre. Unlike American TV soap, it is aired on prime time ; unlike Brazilian or Mexican telenovela, it is scheduled on a weekly basis ; unlike French feuilleton télévisé, it has original scripts, written by one or two authors ; and, unlike American TV series, it has shows which are open ended and endure for seasons of no more than a dozen of episodes. The téléroman is a TV national genre in its own right. The popularity of the téléroman has been uninterrupted since the fifties and La famille Plouffe (1953). Since then, the téléroman has evolved in its content as well as in its aesthetic. While the text has been challenged by the social context since the beginning, the evolution of the téléroman aesthetic has been remarkable, especially in the new century’s first decade. Indeed, no more afflicted by a studio aesthetic like the soap was, the téléroman has now a cinematic aesthetic much like the series has. While still a téléroman by its generic format, few describe it as such anymore. The new coined expression is “série télévisée québécoise.” This new semiotic system represents the Golden Age of Quebec TV. In this new televisual form, the perennial talking heads are more and more silent, because the motion pictures are more and more fluent. No more anaudio-vision , the Quebec TV form in fiction is avisual-aural media. The gaze has replaced the voice. The small screen has been replaced by a bigger one, on the literal front in many households, but also in the figurative sense, by the fact that television has as acquired the dimension of cinema.
