  • An Earthly Cosmology
    Forum on Religion and Ecology Indigenous Traditions and Ecology Annotated Bibliography Abram, David. Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology. New York and Canada: Vintage Books, 2011. As the climate veers toward catastrophe, the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land. For too long we’ve ignored the wild intelligence of our bodies, taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance. Abram’s writing subverts this distance, drawing readers ever closer to their animal senses in order to explore, from within, the elemental kinship between the human body and the breathing Earth. The shape-shifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in this book. --------. The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World. New York: Vintage, 1997. Abram argues that “we are human only in contact, and conviviality, with what is not human” (p. ix). He supports this premise with empirical information, sensorial experience, philosophical reflection, and the theoretical discipline of phenomenology and draws on Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of perception as reciprocal exchange in order to illuminate the sensuous nature of language. Additionally, he explores how Western civilization has lost this perception and provides examples of cultures in which the “landscape of language” has not been forgotten. The environmental crisis is central to Abram’s purpose and despite his critique of the consequences of a written culture, he maintains the importance of literacy and encourages the release of its true potency.

  • There Ought to Be Clowns
    Copyright 1987, 2009 by Karen Ridd All rights reserved. Te Canadian Association of Terapeutic Clowns c/o David Langdon, CH236-840 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, R3A 1S1” www.therapeuticclowns.ca Forward Much has changed since Karen Ridd wrote her paper “Tere Ought to be Clowns” in 1987. Since then, the whole notion of having specially-trained clowns working in health care centres has been heartily embraced not only in Canada but also throughout much of the world. In North America alone, 1986 seemed to be a momentous year in the development of this profession. In May, Karen Ridd approached the child life department at Winnipeg Children’s Hospital with her idea of clowning in that health care setting. Later that same year and thousands of miles away in New York City, Michael Christiansen would develop his unique vision of the clown doctor and launch the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit. Te time was ripe, and consequently these initiatives bore much fruit. Copies of Karen’s unpublished 1987 paper, “Tere Ought to Be Clowns,” have circulated among Canadian therapeutic clowns and their colleagues for some time. As the professional therapeutic clown body in Canada, the Canadian Association of Terapeutic Clowns/L’Association canadienne des clowns Térapeutiques has decided to acknowledge the infuence of Karen’s work by ofcially publishing her paper. We have attempted to make as few changes as possible to the text of the paper even though much has changed since those early years. Presently, therapeutic clowns and clown doctors are found in pediatric facilities from Halifax to Vancouver and also work in adult settings such as seniors’ nursing homes and rehabilitation institutions.

    LSSN 1096-5335 A Publication for Clowns in Community and World Service Published Quarterly, www.HospitalClown.com, P.O. Box 8957, Emeryville, California 94662 – Vol. 4 No.1 The one ring circus arena is quiet and empty. The lights are dim, then slowly, shyly a hobo clown shuffles out into the open. He hesitates, looks mournfully up at the audience, then slowly brings something out of his pocket. He looks up at the enthralled audience again, then back to the little bottle in his hand and back at the audience – magical silence. He opens the bottle and pulls out a stick and gently blows bubbles. With slow wonder he watches the bubbles float up to the seats. Mr. Stubs, the hobo clown, has totally captured the audience. Out steps the ring master, “You can’t do that here!” Mr. Stubs looks sadly up at the audience, then down at his shoes. He slowly and methodically takes a few steps to another part of the ring, brings out his bubbles and blows them to the crowd. “I said you can’t do that here!” The ringmaster shouts. Mr. Stubs again looks down at his feet, moves to another spot, and blows his bubbles. Finally, enraged, the ringmaster grabs the bubble bottle, marches over to a trash can, lifts the lid, throws the bubbles in the can, and marches out of the ring. Mr. Stubs looks sadly up at the audience. He shuffles over to the can, looks up at the audience again and then timidly picks up the lid. Bubbles float out of the can! As Mr.

Clowning emerged as a complex art, combining the visual elements of the costume, make-up and props with ubiquitous humour, laced with sensitivity and compassion. Participants described having a vocation for clowning, with intrinsic motivation and passion. They articulated how their clown costumes and personas provided emotional shielding, giving them protection from – while also allowing entrance into – emotionally difficult situations. They also used judicious humour, intuiting when, where and how best to use humour in myriad patient situations in a way that brought relief to patients and families. Insights
