  • Historical Pageantry and Progressive Pedagogy at Canada's 1927
    1 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation ARTICLES / ARTICLES Historical Pageantry and Progressive Pedagogy at Canada’s 1927 Diamond Jubilee Celebration James Miles University of Toronto ABSTRACT Historians have argued that Canada’s Diamond Jubilee of Confederation in 1927 represents one of the federal government’s most sustained and successful attempts at nation building in the interwar period. In this mass outpouring of patriotic celebration, schools in particular played an important role in producing commemorative events, but also in constructing an en- gaging and accessible historical narrative for public consumption. At the heart of these events was the staging of hundreds of historical pageants, including many performances produced by teachers and students. This article examines how progressive pedagogies, such as active and play-based learning, came to be aligned with nation-building initiatives in widely pro- duced historical pageants. Furthermore, it examines two published historical pageant scripts performed in Ontario’s schools to reveal the dominant themes of the historical narratives being promoted in relation to Indigenous-settler relations, gender, and national identity. RÉSUMÉ Les historiens conviennent généralement du fait que le Jubilé de diamants de la Confédération, en 1927, constitue, de la part du gouvernement fédéral, l’une des tentatives de l’entre-deux- guerres les plus durables et les plus fructueuses d’édification de la nation. Lors de cet impor- tant mouvement de célébration patriotique, les écoles, plus spécifiquement, ont joué un rôle déterminant non seulement dans la production d’événements commémoratifs, mais aussi dans l’élaboration d’un récit historique destiné au grand public.

  • Images of Class, Gender, and Beauty in World War II-Era Canadian Communism Brian Thorn
    ARTICLE “A Colourful Crowning Ceremony”: Images of Class, Gender, and Beauty in World War II-Era Canadian Communism Brian Thorn On the surface, the idea of Communist Party-run beauty pageants might seem odd. Yet the Communist Party of Canada (cp) and its affiliated unions often produced and promoted beauty contests during the 1940s and 1950s.1 One particular instance – a beauty pageant held in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, in early 1945 – shows the nature of cp “popular girl” contests. Vancouver-based Communist Party stalwart Tom McEwen was running for parliament in the Yukon riding. A group of Yukon-based, cp-affiliated trade unions sponsored a local carnival and the beauty pageant. The weekly news- paper for the British Columbia section of the Communist Party, the Pacific Advocate, asserted that the beauty contest had “done more to make the people union conscious than any other undertaking could have done.”2 The article 1. I use the terms “beauty pageant,” “beauty contest,” and “popular girl contest” interchangeably throughout this paper. Scholars of this topic have used “beauty pageant” as a general term for these events, while mainstream organizers of events like the Miss America Pageant use the term “beauty contest.” For its part, the Communist Party of Canada frequently called their events “popular girl contests.” 2. ThePacific Advocate was the weekly newspaper of the British Columbia section of the Canadian Communist Party. In other regions of Canada, cp members read the weekly newspaper of their provincial cp branch. In spite of the cp’s reputation for being centralized and monolithic, the Canadian cp was fairly decentralized, with party leaders in Ontario often having little knowledge of Communist activities or writings elsewhere in Canada.

  • Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants
    Contesting Nationalisms: Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants By Oluwakemi Monsurat Balogun A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and in the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Paola Bacchetta Professor Ann Swidler Professor Barrie Thorne Professor Michael Watts Fall 2012 2012 Copyright Oluwakemi Monsurat Balogun Abstract Contesting Nationalisms: Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants by Oluwakemi Monsurat Balogun Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and in the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair Over the last five decades, Nigeria has moved from being a nation enjoying its new post-colonial independence to a nation self-consciously placed within the international political economy. In this dissertation, I show how the complexity and tensions of this shift have helped shape, and are reflected in the Nigerian beauty pageant industry. Drawing on a case study of three beauty pageants, two national and one international, I compare the production, symbolism, and political controversies surrounding each pageant and the way it represents the Nigerian nation. I use these cases to argue that national identity exists at multiple levels and is constructed through and towards both national and international audiences. Organizers, contestants, corporate sponsors, fans and opposition groups manage and present the nation through pageants. They negotiate between highlighting cultural diversity within the country and displaying a shared national culture in a global world.

  • Models Eye Beauty Crown
    Models eye beauty crown Maciu Malo Monday, September 26, 2011 MISS Lebanon, Salamouny Daniellemary is confident of being crowned the best supermodel in the world at the week-long World Supermodel Pageant competition at the Amanuca Island Resort in the Mamanuca Group. The 22-year old said she had been looking forward to today's event and was optimistic of her chances. "I am here for a purpose and I am confident I will win the competition," said Ms Daniellemary. "I travelled from another part of the planet to be here and I will do all it takes to win the crown. "I am also aware of the stiff competitions from my fellow contestants and it will be interesting how we battle for the top award this week." Ms Daniellemary said she had a hard time farewelling her parents before the Fiji trip because she was not used to long trips but she felt at home upon arriving at the Nadi International Airport. "I cried when I was told to come this far because I have been with my parents most of the time," she said. "But I was surprised by the warm welcome and the hospitality of the local people which made me feel at home. "This is my first Fiji trip and I really love this place, so beautiful, nice weather and friendly people." Likewise, Miss Philipines ,Brenna Cassandra Gamboa and Miss Australia, Casey Newport were also confident of their chances and so excited at setting foot on Fiji.
