Although many officials in the Department of External Affairs believed that a continental free trade agreement was in Canada’s best interests, King confided to his diary that he could not let the negotiations go forward because a successful outcome would destroy the British Empire and Commonwealth: ‘I am sure in so doing, I have made one of the most important decisions for Canada, for the British Commonwealth of Nations that has been made at any time.’1 In October 1949, while being fêted in London, Prime Minister Sydney Holland of New Zealand, made one of his characteristic spontaneous and ill considered statements. He declared, ‘I want the people of Britain to know that we will send all the food that they need, even if we have to send it free’.2 These two stories tell historians a lot.

  • John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism
    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This dissertation is an analysis of perceptions of family violence in English- speaking Canada focusing on the fifteen years after the Second World. As Canadians collectively adapted to the postwar world, authorities urged them to create strong, united families as the foundation upon which the nation depended. An idealized vision of home and family domesticated and subordinated women, and served to entrench and consolidate the dominance of white, middle-class, heterosexual, and patriarchal values.
