It is a Otitle that this conference continues to earn. Each year the program is stronger, the attendance is higher, and the warm response from the library community is louder. It is a time for celebration as well as learning. For me, it is also a time where I can be guaran- teed to see the faces of friends I get to see only once a year. I encourage all of you to use your time well. Sleep next week. This week you can attend some of the superb sessions put together by Rose Vespa and her conference planning team. You can also visit friends. There have been many conferences where the best and most practical information I have learned has come from hearing, during informal chats in the exhibits area, what others are doing. Late last Spring I visited Seattle Public Library's new main library building. The most impressive aspect of this astonishing building is the statement that it makes. This huge, beautiful building clearly says that libraries have a future and that libraries will continue to be relevant to those they serve. OLA's Super Conference 2005 Super Conference Super Conference delivers that same mes- sage, year after year. It fills each of us with the knowledge and confidence that we are strong and will continue to get stronger. Enjoy yourself. We think that our 2005 confer- ence will be the most Super to date.

    Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders By Justin F. Smith Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the MA degree in History University of Ottawa © Justin F. Smith, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ABSTRACT Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders Justin Smith Supervisor: University of Ottawa Heather Murray The contemporary conflation of pedophiles and child sex offenders is a prevalent aspect of reporting in news and social media, as well as in government- sponsored efforts to prevent child sexual victimization. Throughout twentieth century Canada, however, legal experts, psychologists and psychiatrists, and social activists were recognizing the harmfulness of grouping individuals who may have a propensity to commit crime with those who have committed the most heinous of criminal acts. As early as 1938, Canadian legal experts suggested that criminal insanity was a myth, advocating for a divergence between legal punishment and psychiatric healthcare, but after World War 2 had enacted serious efforts targeting criminal sexual psychopathy. Successive Royal Commissions investigating sexual victimization and child abuse revealed that Canadian courts, jails, prisons, and remand services were unable to solely deal with the realities of child sexual victimization. Psychologists and psychiatrists of the American Psychological Association increasingly researched sex and sexuality, classifying pedophilia as a paraphilia using child sexual victimization as a diagnostic indicator and criterion. Gay liberation activists discussed inequalities posed between hetero- and homosexual ages of consent and, more rarely, thought about the total abolition of age of consent.

    8 8 BOOK REVIEWS thus far conceived its political and critical project in rather limited, and increasingly unproductive, terms. Reviewed by: William Straw Carlton University Foundations, Alan Plaunt and The Early Days of CBC Radio Michael Nolan CBC Enterprises, 1986 Toronto, Ontario This book is very aptly named, for it was Alan Plaunt, more than any other individual, who set the philosophical and organizational foundations of the CBC and its progenitor, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. Plaunt's pivotal role in the genesis of public broadcasting in Canada was initially set out by Michael Nolan as his doctoral study for the University of Western Ontario where today Nolan teaches at the Graduate School of Journalism. CBC Enterprises published Nolan's work along with several other books in the fall of 1986 in celebration of CBC1s 50 years of public broadcasting service. The 162 page narrative is enhanced by its thorough footnoting and seven pages of reference sources on Canadian broadcasting history. Nolan's study is particularly detailed with regard to Plauntls English-French family background, his education, (straight Cs at the University of Toronto and only third class honours at Oxford), his politics, his friends, the forces that shaped his beliefs, the several causes he gave his energies to, his contradictory personality, and his extraordinary organizational skills. During his two years at Oxford (1927-291, Plaunt was a keen observer of the BBC in its first decade under the dominating leadership BOOK REVIEWS 89 of John Reith. Plaunt became a believer in Reith's approach to state-owned development of radio with its underlying philosophy that broadcasting's public service potential was too great to permit it to become a commercially oriented mass medium.

  • Reframing the Montreal Massacre: Strategies for Feminist Media Activism
    Report: Reframing the Montreal Massacre: Strategies for Feminist Media Activism Maureen Bradley University of Victoria Abstract: In the days that followed the Montréal Massacre at the École Polytechnique, December 6, 1989, the Canadian mass media became a discur- sive battleground regarding violence against women. In response to this phenom- enon, I released a half-hour documentary in 1995 entitled Reframing the Montreal Massacre: A Media Interrogation. Designed as a feminist tool for media literacy, the tape deconstructs six key moments in the media coverage of the Massacre. This paper serves as an extended artist’s statement to accompany the project’s re-release on the Internet, while simultaneously exploring aesthetic and representational strategies that shape the documentary. Résumé : Dans les jours qui on suivi le massacre de l’École Polytechnique de Montréal, le 6 décembre 1989, la presse canadienne devint un champ de bataille discursif relativement à la violence orientée contre les femmes. En réponse à ce phénomène, j’ai réalisé en 1995 un documentaire d’une demi-heure intitulé Reframing the Montreal Massacre: A Media Interrogation. Conçu comme un outil féministe en faveur de l'information médiatique, le documentaire déconstruit six moments clés de la couverture médiatique du massacre. A l’occasion de la rediffusion du projet sur Internet, le présent article réitère dans sa continuité ma prise de position en tant qu’artiste, explorant simultanément les stratégies esthétiques et représentationnelles qui modèlent le documentaire. Keywords: Montreal massacre, Feminist media literacy, Canadian documentary, Canadian video art, Experimental documentary Shortly after 5:00 p.m. on the evening of December 6, 1989, a lone gunman began a shooting spree inside the Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique, Canada’s largest engineering program.

  • Burke, Re-Covenanting and the Apology for the Residential Schools1
    Burke, Re-covenanting and the Apology for the Residential Schools1 M. Shivaun Corry Duquesne University School of Communication and Rhetorical Studies. Abstract Along with nineteen other recommendations in their 2012 interim report, The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada advised that “the Government of Canada distribute a framed copy of the “Statement of Apology to Former Students of Indian Residential Schools for prominent public display and ongoing educational purposes” in every secondary school in Canada (Truth and Reconciliation Commission 29). In a country that no longer insists on flying the flag or displaying the picture of the queen, an apology from the representative of the Canadian people to Indian Residential School survivors may become a fixture of every secondary school in the nation. Drawing on Kenneth Burke’s cycle of order, pollution, sacrifice and rebirth, this paper analyses Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Apology for the Indian Residential School System and its media coverage as a process of re-covenanting. By rhetorically splitting the totem of Canada into a sinning chapter and an essential national character, members of the totem domain were able to sacrifice the totem of the sinning Canada through the humiliation of the confession of sin and apology by the Prime Minister. After this purifying sacrifice, the totem was regenerated to its unpolluted state, completing the narrative of re-covenanting in line with monotheistic and more universal religious structures and reaffirming our commitment to the values of the apology. KEYWORDS: Indian Residential School System, public apologies, Kenneth Burke, Stephen Harper, Truth and Reconciliation Commission Here are the steps 1 This paper was produced under the supervision of Dr.
