  • Shopping for Christmas 2016: Retail Prospects
    Shopping for Christmas 2016: Retail Prospects ~ A Research Report for VoucherCodes.co.uk, part of RetailMeNot Report Prepared by Centre for Retail Research Limited, Nottingham September 2016 Research Report Shopping for Christmas 2016 Shopping for Christmas 2016: Retail Prospects ~ A Research Report for VoucherCodes.co.uk, part of RetailMeNot Executive Brief Report. This independent report into the prospects for Holiday or Christmas shopping in 2016 has been commissioned by RetailMeNot, the world’s leading marketplace of digital offers, and carried out by the Centre for Retail Research based in Nottingham, England. Spending on shopping by consumers in the final weeks before Christmas is vital to most retailers’ profitability and many achieve 20% or more of their annual sales in this period. This is only so because, irrespective of background, the Holiday festivities, including celebrations and gift-giving, are an important and traditional part of social and family life. Shopping for Christmas 2016, considers the Holiday/Christmas prospects for retailers and consumers in nine important countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, UK, the U.S.A. and Canada. Their combined populations are 699.2 million. We estimate that Christmas spending this year will be: £280.991 bn (€323.895 bn) in Europe; £492.246 bn ($635.96 bn) in the U.S.; and £38.470 bn ($49.84 bn) in Canada. The 2016 report has taken account of major shifts in exchange rates and both the 2015 and the 2016 figures are based on current rates of exchange. This is to ensure that changes given in the report reflect only changes in the retail sector, and not currency movements.

  • Consumption, Coca-Colonisation, Cultural Resistance
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Salford Institutional Repository Consumption, ‘coca-colonisation’, cultural resistance—and Santa Claus George McKay At least four of the seven deadly sins against which Christianity once railed are now seen by some to be venerated in Christmas celebrations: avarice, gluttony, lust, and envy. The conflict is by no means uniquely American … but America has contributed the uniquely American Santa Claus and has become an arbiter of Christmas celebrations around the world, primarily because of its part import of European emigrant traditions and its present export of popular culture. (Belk 1993, 75) In what ways has the iconography and practice of Christmas been shaped, understood and consumed as an American experience? This chapter explores explains and questions the ideological valence of Christmas in part as an American socio-economic and cultural (export) practice. I do acknowledge the fact that Daniel Miller has identified a number of the international strands of influence operating transatlantically on Christmas from the mid-19th century on whereby ‘[t]his syncretic modern form extracts the Christmas tree from the German tradition, the filling of stockings from the Dutch tradition, the development of Santa Claus mainly from the United States, the British Christmas card’ (Miller 1993, 4). It is telling that the two American artists responsible for the most influential visual representations of Santa Claus had strong European backgrounds: in the 19th century, cartoonist Thomas Nast (born in Germany in 1840), and in the 20th, advertising illustrator Haddon Sundblom (Sweden). I recognise too the shifting relationship America has had with Christmas, it being historically sometimes hugely antagonistic: in early modern America Christmas was actually banned by the Puritans (Miller 1993, 3), though by the late 18th century some Americans were celebrating St Nicholas in part as an anti-British sentiment (Carrier 1993, 66).

  • An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada
    “Never Say Die”: An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada by Elizabeth Cooper A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by Elizabeth Cooper Abstract The community of Aklavik, North West Territories, was known as the “Gateway to the North” throughout the first half of the Twentieth Century. In 1959, the Canadian Federal Government decided to relocate the town to a new location for a variety of economic and environmental reasons. Gwitch’in and Inuvialuit refused to move, thus claiming their current community motto “Never Say Die”. Through a series of interviews and participant observation with Elders in Aklavik and Inuvik, along with consultation of secondary literature and archival sources, this thesis examines ideas of the impact of mission hospitals, notions of health, wellness and community through an analysis of some of the events that transpired during this interesting period of history. Acknowledgements I would like to thank and honour the people in both Aklavik and Inuvik for their help and support with this project. I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr. Christopher G Trott, Dr Emma LaRocque and Dr. Mark Rumel for their continued help and support throughout this project. I would like to thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Dr. S. Michelle Driedger’s Research in Science Communication CIHR-CFI Research Lab, University of Manitoba Graduate Studies, University of Manitoba Faculty of Arts, University of Manitoba, Department of Native Studies and University of Manitoba Graduate Students Association, for making both the research and dissemination of results for this project possible.
