The Structural Stability of the Quebecer Public Sphere, 1956-1966 an Inquiry in the Elites' Power Struggles Francis Therrien The Structural Stability of the Quebecer Public Sphere, 1956-1966 An Inquiry in the Elites' Power Struggles Francis Therrien Master’s Thesis in Media Studies (Nordic Media) Institutt for medier og kommunikasjon Universitetet i Oslo May 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND FOREWORD The thesis contained in the following pages is the result of a full year of work in Oslo, Montreal and Rome. However, this work is not solely mine. In addition to the multitude of important thinkers and social scientists that made my own work possible, the contribution of my supervisor, Terje Rasmussen is substantive. From the discussions we had around the development of a research project, to his insightful feedback and the use his own published work, Terje’s presence is underlying the entirety of my thesis. I appreciate the great level of freedom that I could enjoy being supervised by him; yet it came with good advice and thorough exchanges in person – before that a pandemic hit the globe. In addition to that, I am indebted to two scholars in Quebec who reviewed the Chapter 3 of my thesis to ensure the validity of the information I have put forward. Indeed, Anne- Marie Brunelle (Université du Québec à Montréal) – who has been an excellent teacher of mine at the bachelor’s level – appraised the section on the media; while Jean-Philippe Warren (Concordia University) kindly accepted to assess the section on the parliamentarianism – even if I were an unknown person to him. I should also thank my friends Simon Zemp (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) for proofreading the Chapter 1; and Marit Bredeli Kveim (Universitetet i Oslo) for the validation of the Bokmål summary of my thesis. On a more personal level, I would like to mention the support I got from my family and friends during this whole degree. My parents and brother who always supported me in any project, whether it is tacitly or with logistical help like when moving from a place to another, gave me the confidence to pursue studies abroad. I will be eternally grateful to them for that, but also for everything else they have done for me. For my friends in Montreal, I would like to thank them for making me feel as if I had never left for Oslo both times I came home during the last two years and for sticking with me despite the distance, especially Francis Huot and Jeanne who generously hosted me twice, but also Laurence, Laura, Andréanne, Francis Allard, Nicolas and Marc-Olivier. For my friends in Oslo, I would like to thank everyone who made me feel home kilometres away from where I am from. I should probably mention first Marit and Marie with the occasional family dinners, in addition to Adrian, Alejandra, Eva, Hege, Ida, Ane, Bram and Anouk. ii Finally, I would like to appreciate the indirect contribution of institutions that rendered this thesis possible. The most important one is probably Universitetet i Oslo who granted me a place in the Nordic Media program which gave me the opportunity to study in a free postgraduate program, even as a foreigner. In addition to the institution itself and its excellent facilities especially the library, the people part of the University also gave me great opportunities. Whether it was my colleagues who allowed me to represent them at the Department’s board, the remarkable administrative staff who was always there to help or Trine Syvertsen who devoted herself for a good integration of the students of the program in the first semester, notably with a week-long seminar in Copenhagen, it was a chance to be around so many good people. I should also acknowledge Det norske institutt i Roma that offered me a scholarship for five weeks of research and study in their superb edifice. A last institution that made my thesis possible is Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, whether it is for its physical space and collection or its indispensable digital offer. This institution is central to the development of knowledge on Quebec.

  • Canada and the Cold War P6
    By: Ryleigh Johnson ¡ The Union Nationale Coming to Power: § Came about in 1936 when it won the provincial election. § The leader was Maurice Duplessis, a lawyer. He almost single-handly brought down the Liberal government of Louis-Alexandre Taschereau. § Union Nationale defended provincial autonomy, conservatism, economic liberalism and rural life. § Brought on new reforms as they promised. § One of the most important was Office du crédit agricole (farm credit board) in 1936 that helped farmers save their farms from bankruptcy. § They pushed many plans that were announced during the election into the background. § Duplessis dissolved the Legislative Assembly in 1939 and called an election. § The Liberal Party of Adélard Godbout won the election making the Union nationale become the official opposition. § This was seen as a very bad political move. ¡ The Union Nationale Reign: § Returned to power in 1944 after accusing both the provincial and the federal Liberals of betraying Québec and violating its rights. § The Union Nationale received fewer votes than the Liberal Party but won an absolute majority of seats in the Legislative Assembly. § Began the 15 year reign. § Quebec experienced an industrialization and urbanization boom during this time. § Economic issues-the government advocated development at all costs. § Social issues-the government was very conservative. § Did not believe in ANY form of government intervention. ¡ Emphasized Three Points to Their Program: 1. Duplessis gave generously to his province. 2. Union nationale's achievements were impressive. 3. The Union nationale provided a solid line of defence against the federal government. ¡ Decline: § In 1959 Duplessis died. § Paul Sauvé then led the party until his death four months later.

  • War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory
    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence
