The Habitus of Mackenzie King: Canadian Artists, Cultural Capital and the Struggle for Power Anton Reinhold Wagner A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Theatre and Performance Studies York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada September, 2014 © Anton Reinhold Wagner, 2014 Abstract This dissertation analyzes the struggle between William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister (1922-1930, 1935-1948), and Canadian artists to define and determine the nature and distribution of arts and culture in Canada prior to the 1949 Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters and Sciences. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of habitus, “fields” of knowledge and power, and religious, social and cultural capital, the dissertation analyzes the central paradox of why—despite his decades-long involvement in half-a-dozen artistic disciplines—King failed to implement cultural policies as Prime Minister that would have benefited Canadian artists and the arts and culture in Canada. The dissertation applies Pierre Bourdieu’s model of social change in which “priests” with conservation strategies and charismatic “prophets” with subversion strategies compete among the “laity” for consumers of their respective symbolic goods to document how artists organized locally and nationally to accumulate social, cultural and political capital in their attempt to compel the federal government to implement their cultural objectives—state support for the arts. The dissertation posits that Mackenzie King’s inability to control his sexual impulses led him to espouse a conception of art whose primary function was to project Christian character and ideals. By establishing King’s religious and sexual habiti, I am able to show why he felt compelled to project such an idealized characterization in works of art depicting himself, members of his family, and public figures whose service to the nation he felt should be emulated by Canadians. As Leader of the Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition in Parliament and as Prime Minister, King was able to use his political and economic power in the political field over three decades (1919-1948) to define who was a real artist and who was not, what constituted artistic legitimacy and what was the artistic and economic value of Canadian cultural production. The dissertation suggests that the analysis of King’s relationship with the arts and artists provides the key to unlocking the enigma of Mackenzie King and that in the struggle between artists and the Prime Minister over the nature and distribution of arts and culture in Canada, the artists won. ii Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my mother, Dr. Maria Wagner. Without her encouragement and support, this study could not have been written. iii Acknowledgement I would like to express my appreciation to the York University Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Graduate Department of Theatre and Performance Studies for their support during the research and writing phase of this dissertation. A year-long research fellowship with Prof. Christopher Innes, Canada Research Chair in Performance and Culture, enabled me to investigate the cultural and historical background of my research topic. A course with Prof. Joyce Zemans provided insights into the development of Canadian federal cultural policies. An independent study course on Pierre Bourdieu with Prof. Marlis Schweitzer allowed me to explore my theoretical framework for the dissertation. An independent study course with Prof. Don Rubin on William Lyon Mackenzie King and problems of historiography and revisionism made it possible to begin to analyze the voluminous primary and secondary research materials on Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister. Special thanks are due to my dissertation committee, Don Rubin, Marlis Schweitzer and Prof. Ross Stuart, whose encouragement and advice have been invaluable. I also thank the Library and Archives Canada for its guardianship of the Mackenzie King fonds and other related materials. iv Table of Contents Abstract ii Dedication iii Acknowledgement iv List of Illustrations vi Introduction 1 Chapter I The Enigma of Mackenzie King 7 Chapter II Mackenzie King’s Habitus and Pierre Bourdieu’s Concept of Social and Cultural Capital 59 Chapter III The Conflict Between Mackenzie King’s Religious and Sexual Habitus: Sins of the Flesh and the Projection of Character 103 Chapter IV Mackenzie King’s Structured Habitus at the Turn of the Twentieth Century 169 Chapter V The First Fruits of Habitus: The Harper Monument and The Secret of Heroism 213 Chapter VI The Field of Cultural Production and Mackenzie King’s Cultural Authority 1900-1930 259 Chapter VII Prophets and Priests: Canadian Artists and the Struggle for Cultural Democracy 320 Chapter VIII Mackenzie King in the Fields of National and International Cultural Production 375 Chapter IX The Prophets’ “March on Ottawa” 453 Chapter X The “Priestly” Mackenzie King 518 Conclusion: The Habitus of Mackenzie King: Canadian Artists, Cultural Capital and the Struggle for Power 648 Bibliography 706 v List of Illustrations J.W.L.

Historians have ranked Mackenzie King, Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister (1922-1930, 1935-1948), among the greatest of Canadian Prime Ministers. But they have also characterized him as one of our most enigmatic statesmen and as a philistine who had no interest in arts and culture.

    The Long Reach of War: Canadian Records Management and the Public Archives

    The Long Reach of War: Canadian Records Management and the Public Archives by Kathryn Rose A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Kathryn Rose 2012 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis explores why the Public Archives of Canada, which was established in 1872, did not have the full authority or capability to collect the government records of Canada until 1966. The Archives started as an institution focused on collecting historical records, and for decades was largely indifferent to protecting government records. Royal Commissions, particularly those that reported in 1914 and 1962 played a central role in identifying the problems of records management within the growing Canadian civil service. Changing notions of archival theory were also important, as was the influence of professional academics, particularly those historians mandated to write official wartime histories of various federal departments. This thesis argues that the Second World War and the Cold War finally motivated politicians and bureaucrats to address records concerns that senior government officials had first identified during the time of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Geoffrey Hayes, for his enthusiasm, honesty and dedication to this process. I am grateful for all that he has done.

    64 The Journal of Educational Thought, Vol. 14, No. 2, August I 980 J. Stewart Hardy* A Review of Selected Materials in the Educational History of Western Canada: Opportunities for Further Research The study of the history of education in Western Canada presents educational historians, particularly those interested in reinterpretation and revision, with almost unlimited opportunities. The majority of the relatively small number of publications in this field, a few provincial histories and a small number of articles scattered through the periodicals, tend to glorify past educational achievements as logical steps in the inevitable march of the progress of schooling. Given the quickening interest in "new" interpretations of educational history which this journal has witnessed in the past five years it would appear that the history of education in Western Canada is open to revision. Writing on the historiography of education in the United States Patricia Rooke opened the way for subsequent arti­ cles by Donald Wilson and David Jones which examined the subject in Canadian context. 1 Wilson and Jones indicated the revisionist advances made in Ontario and there is evidence to suggest that a similar trend is under way in Western Canada. Such advances have been made possible because the majority of the published work pertaining to the history of education in Western Canada is firmly entrenched in what Herbert Butterfield has termed the whig interpretation of history. 2 According to Butterfield such an interpretation views past events as a series of links in an inevitable chain of progress culminating in the present. This interpretation portrays the history of education, or more correctly the history of schooling, as the inevitably progressive development of " good" and "sound" public schools under the leadership of benevolent and farsighted governments, public officials, and reformers.

    July 2012] Further Facets of Indridi Indridason’s Mediumship FURTHER FACETS OF INDRIDI INDRIDASON’S MEDIUMSHIP, INCLUDING ‘TRANSCENDENTAL’ MUSIC, DIRECT SPEECH, XENOGLOSSY AND LIGHT PHENOMENA by ERLENDUR HARALDSSON ABSTRACT The Experimental Society kept a protocol of most séances with Indridi Indridason in the form of Minute Books. They had been lost for over half a century when two of them were rediscovered recently, along with additional pages. This paper describes some phenomena that were not dealt with in the 1989 SPR Proceedings by Gissur- arson and Haraldsson, or that can be described more fully after examination of the Minute Books. An earlier paper (Haraldsson, 2011) dealt with one particular case in Indridason’s mediumship, namely the description of the fire in Copenhagen and the identity of the trance-personality Emil Jensen. The present paper reveals in greater detail how the séances were conducted and deals with the main trance- personalities of Indridason’s mediumship, and the phenomena with which each of them was particularly involved. Particular attention is paid to reports of ‘transcend- ental’ music, foreign direct communicators, including voices of two professional singers (one male and one female) who sang loudly at the same time, and cases of xenoglossy and direct speech. This paper also reports on checks carried out into claimed memories, the reported ‘disappearance’ of the medium’s left arm, light phenomena, the appearance of Emil Jensen in a pillar of light, and the appearance of a monster-like animal. Contemporary criticism of Indridason’s mediumship is reviewed and conclusions drawn as to the relevance of his remarkable phenomena to the question of survival.

  • Painting and Sculpture in Canada

    Painting and Sculpture in Canada

    PAINTING AND SCULPTURE IN CANADA M. 0. HAMMOND HEN Louis Jobin, the wood carver of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, W passed away in 1928, at the age of 86, he severed a link which united primitive and modern art in Canada. Through his long life he had created figures in wood, the last of a noted line of artists in their own field. Ancient calvaires beside Quebec highways, fading wooden Indians in front of cigar stores, surviving figure­ heads on sailing ships, religious figures on the fa~ades of French­ Canadian churches, as at Ste Famille on Isle d 'Orleans, dating from 1749---these are relics of the wood-carving age in Canadian art, that may be found by diligent search. Jobin's own life spanned the developing years of the newer art in Canada, the art of painting. We may pass over the efforts of the Indians, visible in the decorative totem poles, carvings in bone, shell and ivory, and the painted ceremonial faces of the red men, and ignore the efforts of educated Frenchmen in the days of New France. If art in Canada lacked adequate support almost down to the relatively fat times of to-day, how much less could it thrive in the era of the explorer and the coureur-de-bois? There has been virtually a century of painting in Canada, from the days of Paul Kane, Cornelius Krieghoff and George T. Berthon, to the present, and half way down that century occurred in 1880 the organization of the Royal Canadian Academy, the jubilee of whose launching is being observed in this year 1930.
