  • John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism
    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

URL : http:// journals.openedition.org/jsse/1569 This text was automatically generated on 3 December 2020. © All rights reserved The Tales of Frederick Philip Grove 1 The Tales of Frederick Philip Grove Andrew James 1 The twenty-three stories in the original version of Frederick Philip Grove’s Tales from the Margin comprise a cycle: characters recur and the locale is limited to Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta: the Canadian Prairies. This paper will examine how our perception of Grove’s cycle alters when the stories are viewed as tales. This is the label the author preferred. As he explained in his essay “The Novel,” while the short story deals with characters and incidents “excised” from the “social body” (It Needs to Be Said 120), the tale is concerned with the “border-provinces of human life” or life “on the margin.” Because tales belong to the oral tradition, the style of oration and identity of the teller are also important. Chaucer democratized tales by proving that anyone, irrespective of economic class or educational background, could tell a tale so long as it had sustaining interest to command an audience; Poe used the genre as an invitation to a fantastic, psychologically layered fictional world; and Washington Irving employed narrators who were dramatic figures in their own right, filtering his tales through them (Fallon xvii).

  • Property of the Estate of Blema and H. Arnold Steinberg
    ProPerty of the estAte of BlemA And h. Arnold steinBerg member of the board of governors of McGill University, and later as governor emeritus, and founding chairman of the board of the McGill University Health Centre, among other titles. All of this led to one of the most gratifying roles of his extraordinary life, when in 2009 he was appointed chancellor of McGill University. Upon his passing, Heather Munroe-Blum, vice-chancellor of McGill, reflected: “Arnold was a prince of a man. He shaped McGill, Montreal and Canada in deeply progressive and posi- tive ways—uniquely, indelibly. He influenced everyone he met through his gracious warmth, joyous optimism and incisive intelligence.” Blema Steinberg wore many hats and was exceptionally accomplished. She too was known for her remarkable dedication to McGill University and her continuous philanthropic efforts. She was a double graduate of McGill, where she completed her BA and PhD, and a graduate of Cornell University, where she completed her MA. She became a professor in 1961 and was appointed to McGill’s Department of Political Science, where she taught for more than 40 years, before being honoured with the title of professor emerita following her retirement in 2001. During her tenure, she focused her research efforts on the psy- chological factors of decision-making and character studies of leaders in politics. Blema authored many academic publications and, most notably, two books—Women in Power: The Personalities Blema and H.

  • A Bibliography
    Canadian Children's Literature 11 975: A Bibliography JBHIVR. SBRFLEET & MAR YRU. This bibliography attempts to record those books published in 1975- CCL's founding year-which are directly related to Canadian children's literature. It will be followed, in the future, by bibliographies for 1976 and subsequent years. Our main goal has been to make the list as complete as possible. Accordingly, we have come up with a total of host 300 items-both in French and Enghsh-for 1975. Still, though our investigations have been extensive, it is possible that errors or omissions may have arisen, especially in a few instances where we were unable for one reason or another to obtain an examination copy of s particular work. Where such oversights exist, we would be grateful if our readers would let us know so that corrections can be made in future bibliographies. Generally speaking, the book titles are indicative of the content. In order to remove one possible source of confusion, however, ihose books which are neither fiction nor poetry nor drama-i.e., those books not com- monly categorized as "creative writings-have been signified by the letters "n.f." (non-fiction) following the details of publication for the entry. Cer- tain items for professional reading-e.g., the new edition of Sheila Egoff's The Republic of Childhood-have also been included in this category. Especially in the case of non-fiction, it may sometimes be question- able whether a particular book is more appropriate to an adult or an adoles- cent reader. We have tried-while still being judicious-also to be reasonably open to the range of interests and needs, often quite sophisticated, that many children and teenagers have.
