Special thanks go to the Ounalashka Corporation for its assistance to me in a host of ways. Linda Cook with the National Park Service has been an enthusiastic supporter of my efforts ever since she conceived the idea for the recordings. The National Park Service graciously loaned me an excellent recorder. Gail Morrison at the Unalaska City School library supplied a cassette player that was indispensable. Harriet Hope, director of the senior center at Unalaska, helped with preparations for the interviews and encouraged the participation of Unalaska elders. John Galaktionoff, Okalena Patricia Lekanoff-Gregory, and Bobbi Lekanoff helped with interviews. Anna Jacobs Bateman kindly made copies of the recordings for the participants. Walter Dyakanoff and the late Moses Gordieff provided insights into conditions at Unalaska after World War Two. I especially want to thank again the four major participants: Nicholai S. Lekanoff, Nicholai Galaktionoff, Eva Tcheripanoff, and Irene Makarin. They showed great patience with my persistent and, at times, irrelevant questioning. Contents Part One — Historical Background 1.

The most refreshing element of McKenna’s film is the complexity of his characters, more specifically Marie Brassard who was amazing as Jeannette. This middle-aged woman was given more power and freedom to explore all types of relationships within the film, unlike films where we would normally see a woman of this age for a blink of a second. McKenna’s choice of casting such a strong lead pays off with depth to the plot and this film will not disappoint.

  • YANA MEERZON This Essay Examines the Forms of History and Memory Representation in Incendies, the 2004 Play by Wajdi Mouawad, An
    YANA MEERZON STAGING MEMORY IN WAJDI MOUAWAD ’S INCENDIES : ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OR POETIC VENUE ? This essay examines the forms of history and memory representation in Incendies , the 2004 play by Wajdi Mouawad, and its 2010 film version, directed by Denis Villeneuve. Incendies tells the story of a twin brother and sister on the quest to uncover the mystery of their mother’s past and the silence of her last years. A contemporary re-telling of the Oedipus myth, the play examines what kind of cultural, collective, and individual memo - ries inform the journeys of its characters, who are exilic children. The play serves Mouawad as a public platform to stage the testimony of his child - hood trauma: the trauma of war, the trauma of exilic adaptation, and the challenges of return. As this essay argues, when moved from one medium to another, Mouawad’s work forces the directors to seek its historical and geographical contextualization. If in its original staging, Incendies allows Mouawad to elevate the story of his personal suffering to the universals of abandoned childhood, to reach in its language the realms of poetic expres - sion, and to make memory a separate, almost tangible entity on stage, then the 2010 film version by Villeneuve turns this play into an archaeological site to excavate the recent history of a single war-torn Middle East country (supposedly Lebanon), an objective at odds with Mouawad’s own view of theatre as a venue where poetry meets politics. Naturally the transposition from a play to a film presupposes a significant mutation of the original and raises questions of textual fidelity.
