Auger Emily Phd 1994.Pdf Il Supervisor; Dr. Charles Wicke Abstract TTiroughout history, artists have been influenced by artistic traditions external to tlieir own. In twentieth century Western art, such influences, often facilitated by the artists' experience of a sense of "empathy" with the art of another tradition, have contributed to the apparent dissolution of aesthetic boundaries. Nicola Wojewoda, a contemporary, non- Native, Toronto artist is a participant in this process. Although she has found inspiration in the art of many historical periods and civilizations, Wojewoda has been most deeply affected by contemporary Inuit sculpture, which is, in itself, largely the result of Western influences on an indigenous culture. Western art demonstrating influences from African, Oceanic, and North American Native arts is one type of "Primitivist" art which has been severely criticized as proof of colonialist attitudes. However, as this thesis demonstrates, Wojewoda’s art and her empathetic involvement with Inuit art belong within the historical context of "Primitivism" defined, as it was by Robert Goldwater in Primitivism in Modem Art (1938), as a search for that which is most fundamental and profound in artistic form and content. This search has resulted in many artistic explorations based on a sincere and respectful acknowledgement of the power of both "traditional" and, as in Wojewoda's case. Western influenced Native art to communicate beyond its originating sphere; but it is not limited to such explorations. This thesis demonstrates that Wojewoda's involvement with Inuit art was a permutation of her previously established search for the fundamentals of artistic form and content; a search which focused on the exploration of movement, transformation, symbols, and "archetypes" in a variety of media and types of art. The decree to which Wojewoda’s art communicates beyond its originating sphere was tested in a series of interviews with Inuit artists during which reproductions of various IV Contents Abstract................................................................................................................... ii Contents ................................................................................................................... iv Figures...................................................................................................................... vu Plates......................................................................................................................

  • Contemporary Inuit Drawing
    Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Contemporary Inuit Drawing Nancy Campbell A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ART HISTORY, YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO. January 2017 © Nancy Campbell, 2017 Abstract The importance of the artist’s voice in art historical scholarship is essential as we emerge from post-colonial and feminist cultural theory and its impact on curation, art history, and visual culture. Inuit art has moved from its origins as an art representing an imaginary Canadian identity and a yearning for a romantic pristine North to a practice that presents Inuit identity in their new reality. This socially conscious contemporary work that touches on the environment, religion, pop culture, and alcoholism proves that Inuit artists can respond and are responding to the changing realities in the North. On the other side of the coin, the categories that have held Inuit art to its origins must be reconsidered and integrated into the categories of contemporary art, Indigenous or otherwise, in museums that consider work produced in the past twenty years to be contemporary as such. Holding Inuit artists to a not-so-distant past is limiting for the artists producing art today and locks them in a history that may or may not affect their work directly. This dissertation examines this critical shift in contemporary Inuit art, specifically drawing, over the past twenty years, known as the contemporary period. The second chapter is a review of the community of Kinngait and the role of the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative in the dissemination of arts and crafts.

  • Examining Precontact Inuit Gender Complexity and Its
    EXAMINING PRECONTACT INUIT GENDER COMPLEXITY AND ITS DISCURSIVE POTENTIAL FOR LGBTQ2S+ AND DECOLONIZATION MOVEMENTS by Meghan Walley B.A. McGill University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2018 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador 0 ABSTRACT Anthropological literature and oral testimony assert that Inuit gender did not traditionally fit within a binary framework. Men’s and women’s social roles were not wholly determined by their bodies, there were mediatory roles between masculine and feminine identities, and role-swapping was—and continues to be—widespread. However, archaeologists have largely neglected Inuit gender diversity as an area of research. This thesis has two primary objectives: 1) to explore the potential impacts of presenting queer narratives of the Inuit past through a series of interviews that were conducted with Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer/Questioning and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2S+) Inuit and 2) to consider ways in which archaeological materials articulate with and convey a multiplicity of gender expressions specific to pre-contact Inuit identity. This work encourages archaeologists to look beyond categories that have been constructed and naturalized within white settler spheres, and to replace them with ontologically appropriate histories that incorporate a range of Inuit voices. I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, qujannamiik/nakummek to all of the Inuit who participated in interviews, spoke to me about my work, and provided me with vital feedback. My research would be nothing without your input. I also wish to thank Safe Alliance for helping me identify interview participants, particularly Denise Cole, one of its founding members, who has provided me with invaluable insights, and who does remarkable work that will continue to motivate and inform my own.

Their families returned to their winter and summer camps each year when the sea mammals and animals (like seals, whales and caribou), came in greatest numbers. Mothers carried their babies in an amauti — the big hood on their parkas. When the family travelled, it was on a sled pulled by a dog team. What Inuit art shows This traditional way of life is one of the big subjects in Inuit art. By showing us in drawings and sculptures how their ancestors lived, Inuit artists are keeping their history alive. Art helps them remember, and treasure, the ways their ancestors hunted and made protective clothing and shelter. In their Stories of ) art, many Inuit are making a visual history to show how their ancestors adapted to living in one of the harshest climates shamans tell on earth.

  • Alaskan Analogues and Eastern Uncertainties: Reconstructing Thule Inuit Interaction Networks in the Eastern North American Arctic
    T. Max Friesen Department of Anthropology University of Toronto, Canada Alaskan Analogues and Eastern Uncertainties: Reconstructing Thule Inuit Interaction Networks in the Eastern North American Arctic Introduction Thule archaeology has made great strides over the past several decades. Much has been learned about variability in social organization, settlement patterns, technology, subsistence, and even less visible archaeological phenomena such as gender roles and world view. However, a number of areas remain unclear, one of them being the issue of interaction within and between Thule regional groups. As is the case with all other cultural entities, the Thule tradition in the central Arctic can only be understood fully if the broadest scale of interregional interaction is taken into account. Of course, some attention has been paid to interaction, particularly in the form of trade, with copper, iron, ivory, and other exotic materials commonly reported from Thule sites; and aspects of interac- tion have been used to explain phenomena as diverse as the original Thule mi- gration (McGhee 2000) and the eventual collapse of Classic Thule (Whitridge 1999a). Less attention has been paid to the issue of how interregional systems of interaction operated at a broader scale, although McCartney (1988, 1991), Savelle (2000), and Whitridge (1999a, 1999b, 2002) have made important con- tributions in this area. This paper attempts to build on these previous studies, and in particular McCartney’s (1991) consideration of Thule interaction, in two steps. First, it will consider existing information on Thule interaction in relation to the ethnographic record of Northwest Alaska, which is usually considered the best analogue for understanding the Thule archaeological record.
