  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

  • FEVER DREAMS / / Interview with Andy Fabo
    FEVER DREAMS / / Interview with Andy Fabo In a 1981 essay published in October, Benjamin Buchloh described contemporary artists engaged in figuration as “ciphers of regression,” artists whose practices represented a step backwards in the forward march of artistic progress. This prominent art historian, born in Germany and working now as a professor at Harvard, was employed at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) when he wrote this essay, appointed head of the university press between 1978 and 1983.i Buchloh was in part reacting to the extreme heat of the neo-Expressionist market of the late 1970s and ‘80s, which in many ways mirrored the excesses of Wall Street at the time; New York Times critic Roberta Smith reflects that “The Neo-Expressionists were an instant hit. The phrases ‘art star’ ‘sellout show’ and ‘waiting list’ gained wide usage, sometimes linked to artists you’d barely heard of.”ii Buchloh, like Clement Greenberg had for the modernist generation before him, played an outsized role in the nascent post-modern scene in Canada. However, unlike Greenberg, the rapidly expanding field of artistic production in Canada prevented him from playing the singular role that Greenberg had during his time. Simply put, the proliferation of university studio programs and the coalescing of artistic communities in various urban centres allowed for a multiplicity of practices that had not existed in Canada prior to the 1970s. Fever Dreams, which presents figurative works drawn from the Permanent Collection of the MacLaren Art Centre and dating from 1978 to 2000, highlights a seismic shift from a virtually monolithic focus on abstraction at mid-century to the more pluralistic artistic practices of the latter quarter of the twentieth century.

  • 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
