Prompted by the ROM’s current presentation of Modernism on the Ganges: Raghubir Singh Photographs, and an allegation of sexual misconduct made against the deceased artist, #MeToo & the Arts seeks to encourage a larger conversation about how museums, and the public, are engaging with art within the context of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements that began in the film industry.

Mansaram: COLLAGE! From 2014-2017, the ROM acquired over 700 works of art—paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, fabrics, film—from the archive of Panchal Mansaram (b. 1934), one of the few artists of the South Asian diaspora whose career in Canada stretches over 50 years. This video, produced by the ROM and directed by FSA Co-Chair Aruna Panday, is a glimpse into his life and work, which is a testament to the role of a diasporic artist in a global history of modernism.

Extreme ophidiophobia made her hem and haw but he promised to look under beds and keep an eye out for cobras, so she agreed. Ethel had a wonder-filled time exploring India and Nepal for the first time with lovely travel companions, her husband and several ROM docents. Her camaraderie with the docents was such that Ethel was inspired to volunteer at the Museum. After retiring as a librarian, about 17 years ago, she joined the DMV, first helping to organize the ROM Bus daytrips and later with ROM Travel where she organized and led many trips to South Asia. She also trained as a docent giving tours of various galleries, including the Sir Christopher Ondaatje South Asian Gallery. For the last three years she’s held the volunteer position of Administrator for the South Asian Gallery where she is the liaison between Deepali Dewan, Dan Mishra Curator of South Asian Art and Culture, and docents. She meets with Dr. Dewan a couple times a year to learn about new objects on display and then incorporates that knowledge into information sheets and scripts. She also vets docents who give tours of the South Asia galley. Ethel herself gives a wonderful tour of the space, focusing on the concept of the image in South Asia. She ends each tour with ‘The Blue Lady’ aka ‘Kunti’ as she is Ethel Kellen pictured with Untitled by Navjot called in the Museum, properly titled Untitled (1999-2002), a teak wood Altaf, Mumbai, India.

Downloaded from jcl.sagepub.com at STELLA MARIS COLG on April 22, 2013 The New Cartographies of Re-Orientalism The New Cartographies of Re-Orientalism Minoli Salgado University of Sussex, Falmer, UK Abstract This paper explores the concept of Re-Orientalism by evaluating contrasting uses of the term, examining their implications and revealing the way they mark ongoing contestations over cultural legitimacy and authority. I explore some of the connections between Re-Orientalism and Graham Huggan’s postcolonial exoticism and propose an inclusive working definition of Re-Orientalism that I put to the test in an evaluation of Michael Ondaatje’s Running in the Family and Christopher Ondaatje’s The Man-Eater of Punanai. I suggest that “Re-Orientalism” marks a re- orientation of discursive authorization symptomatic of deep anxieties over cultural legitimacy. At its most radical, I argue, such a re-orientation can prompt a profound revaluation of the position of the diasporic and national subject in ways that provoke productive dialogue between them; at its most reactionary, I suggest, it can work to deepen and entrench the differences generated by Orientalist discourse itself.

  • Leonard Woolj and "The Village in the Jungle"
    To Glide Silently Out of Ones Own Text- Leonard Woolj and "The Village in the Jungle" JUDITH SCHERER HERZ IN 1998. SHYAM Selvadurai, born in Columbo, Sri Lanka, but living in Canada for the previous fourteen years, published his second novel, Cinnamon Gardens. It is set in Columbo in 1927, the year of the Donoughmore Constitutional Commission, the cautious and incomplete response of the presumptive father/ mother country to the pressures for home rule in the island colony. The novel focuses on the encounter, years after they had been peremptorily parted in London, between the main character, Balendran, and his former lover, Richard, a British barrister, now come to Columbo as fact finder for the Commis• sion. More than offering a simple framework or backdrop, the debate over the status of the colony is played out in Selvadurai's novel as a familial and generational conflict in a narrative of challenge to paternal rule. The claims of history, tradition, class, and gender underwrite the shifting relations of fathers/ sons, mothers/daughters as both persons and polity look for ways to assert and reclaim an identity. If the main character has been made to lead a false life by his father, repressing, or mostly repressing, his homosexuality at his father's bidding, he is able at the novel's end to confront his father and to take back his life and yet still be in the family where he too is a father and a hus• band as well as a son. After their first meeting, Richard reflects: The memory of his earlier encounter with the Mudaliyar [Balen• dran's father] was one Richard never dwelt on, the excess of it, the humiliation.

  • Judit Molnár Michael Ondaatje's Running to And
    JUDIT MOLNÁR MICHAEL ONDAATJE’S RUNNING TO AND AWAY FROM SRI LANKA Michael Ondaatje in his fictional travel memoir, Running in the Family (RF) (1982), relates his experiences accumulated during his two visits (1978, 1980) to his place of birth, Ceylon, that has been called Sri Lanka since 1978, “the resplendent land” in Sanskrit. Milica Zivkovic em- phasizes that particularly in multicultural writing “[t]here is a need for affirmation of self and origin” (97; emphasis added). Later on she quotes (102) from Ondaatje’s third novel The English Patient (1992) where Hanna, a Canadian nurse, tells the English patient: “Kip [a Sikh sapper] and I are both international bastards—born in one place and choosing to live elsewhere. Fighting to get back to or to get away from our homelands all our lives” (176). Apparently, in Ondaatje’s works circular migration i.e. migration in and out of places, is a recurring theme in his attempt to construct a meaningful world in the course of which he dramatizes the problem of multiple cultural identity/ies that are closely connected to places. One is reminded of Homi Bhabha’s notion of “the third space” as a space of in-betweenness. (“Location” 36–39) After his parents’ divorce, Ondaatje left Sri Lanka for England at the age of eleven in 1954 together with his mother; he spent most of his adult life far away from his homeland. Not only did he want to get to know more about his family background, particularly about his father, but he also decided to discover his father’s land.

  • Visions of an Incurable Rationalist: Leonard Woolf's Stories of the East
    ariel: a review of international english literature ISSN 0004-1327 Vol. 42 No. 3-4 Pages 197–215 Copyright © 2012 Visions of an Incurable Rationalist: Leonard Woolf’s Stories of the East Catherine Nelson-McDermott Leonard Woolf opened Imperialism and Civilization (1928), his “most thorough and lengthy anti-imperialist statement” (Edmonds and Lue- de­­king 37), with the epigraph “men moralize among ruins.” The ironic distance this quotation cast over his political treatise shadowed Woolf’s career. In fact, the ironic, sometimes sardonic, rationalist humanist pose Woolf adopted in his works transmuted and occasionally viti- ated an otherwise anguished protest against the western, particularly the British, imperial system. Stressing this rational approach to social change, Woolf’s political theories, in the final analysis, were troubled in their attempts at transforming imperialism because a “scientific” ration- alism has been one of the tools used to justify European imperialism. As well, rationalism is a weak weapon against imperialist and capitalist self-interest, and it leads to what Edward Said famously called a “sterile,” “contemplative,” “formal irony,” or “paralyzed gestures of aestheticized powerlessness” (Orientalism 222–23). Woolf himself gestured to this point when he spoke of John Maynard Keynes’s Memoir Club essays: “in one important point he is, I think, wrong. It is true that he and his generation believed in the efficacy of reason, but it is not true that any of us believed in the rationality of human nature” (“Beliefs”
