FALL EDITION PAGE 3 Wit, Words, and Wine: A Memorial Symposium for John Rempel by Judith Owens “Wit, Words, and Wine: A Memorial Symposium for John Rempel” was held on Friday, September 23rd to honour John‘s many contributions to the life of the Department. In keeping with the breadth of his passions and pursuits, the pro- gramme covered a wide array of topics: literature and life of the eighteenth century, the period in which he was so deeply im- mersed; Shakespeare, whose plays he never tired of teaching and seeing; bibliography and book culture, about which he had so much material knowledge; and humour in literature, which John always taught with just the right mix of levity and learning. The programme also included performances, both theatrical and artistic: a scene from Much Ado about Nothing, performed by alumni of the Black Hole Theatre where John saw so many plays; a movingly elegiac recitation from Cymbeline; and a demonstration of Renaissance drawing, which John would have appreciated, perhaps especially for the connections drawn to dancing. As was only fitting, given John’s wide expertise in wine, the symposium concluded with a wine-tasting reception that featured superb wines selected from John’s own cellar and generously donated by Ursula Rempel. The following individuals gave presentations: from DEFT, David Arnason, Glenn Clark, Karen Clavelle, Lyle Ford, Margaret Groome, Chris Johnson, Bill Kerr, Dana Medoro, Judith Owens, Pam Perkins, David Watt, and Gene Walz; from the Faculty of Music, Kurt Markstrom; from the School of Art, Celia Rabinovitch; from the Black Hole Theatre, Megan Andres and Ivan Henwood; from Dafoe Library Archives, Betty Braaksma; from the University of Winnipeg, Brandon Christopher and Kate Ready. “Wit, Words, and Wine” was organized by Glenn Clark, Judith Owens, Pam Perkins, and David Watt, who would like to thank everyone who participated or attended, and who would like to extend special thanks to Ursula Rempel for her gen- erosity, Cliff Eyland for the poster, and Al Bowness and Andy Tekauz, for invaluable help with the wine reception.

  • Literature: Mennonite Studies Engages the Mennonite Literary Voice
    Critical Thought and Mennonite Literature: Mennonite Studies Engages the Mennonite Literary Voice Nildi Froese Tiessen, Conrad Grebel University College This paper was given its initial generic title - "Critical Thought and Mennonite Literature9'- when Royden Loewen invited me to participate in this symposium, "Mennonites and the Challenge of Multiculturalism: A 25 Year Retrospective," months ago.U1I rather like the implied conflation of critical thinking and literature that such a title suggests, especially when we consider "literature" as we find it among Mennonites, where the "critical thinking" of creative writers has not always been welcome. I recall, in this context, the fact that when my colleague Jim Reimer, a few years ago, developed a new course on twentieth century Mennonite theology at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario, he unselfconsciously named the course "Contemporary Mennonite Thought," as if to claim all serious Mennonite thinking for theology alone. Indeed, there was a time when any Mennonite critical thinking that attracted serious attention, within the community or without, did originate in conventionally masculinist disciplines like theology, for example, or 238 Jo~trnalof Mennonite Studies history. Well, thanks to such forces as the literature courses offered by the Chair of Mennonite Studies and publications focussing on Mennonite literature published in the Jounzal of Mennonite Studies, Canadian Mennonites, over the past twenty years or so, have devoted a great deal of attention to the critical - and imaginative - thinking of Mennonite creative writers, whose voices are now possibly more widely listened to than those of any other thinkers to whom the Mennonite community might lay claim.

  • Manitoba and Beyond
    292 Journal of Mennonite Studies Mennonite/s Writing: Manitoba and Beyond University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA Thursday to Sunday October 1-4, 2009 The fifth international conference on Mennonite/s Writing since 1990, features scholarly papers on the work of individual “Mennonite” writers, on Mennonite writers’ inscription of Winnipeg or Manitoba landscapes, and on other subjects related to Mennonite/s writing across North America. Writers who have grown up within the Mennonite communities of Manitoba have made a huge contribution to Canadian literature over the course of the last half century. Among those recently nominated for national literary awards are novelists David Bergen, Sandra Birdsell, Miriam Toews, Rudy Wiebe and poets Di Brandt and Patrick Friesen. These and other Mennonite writers well known in the worlds of Canadian literature and beyond (among them Sarah Klassen, David Waltner-Toews, Armin Wiebe, David Elias) have roots in various parts of Manitoba. Most of these writers were first published by Manitoba’s premier literary publisher, Turnstone Press. Several were founding members of the still thriving Manitoba Writers Guild. Many first received attention in Winnipeg’s stellar literary magazine, Prairie Fire. Their work is read around the world. The conference will begin Thursday evening, October 1, 2009 and conclude Sunday October 4, with a day-long literary bus tour featuring sites inscribed and/or inhabited by Manitoba’s writers of Mennonite heritage.

  • The Salvation of Yasch Siemens Guide Pdf Download
    The Salvation of Yasch Siemens by Armin Wiebe Turnstone Press 1984, 2004 A Reading Guide Introduction The Salvation of Yasch Siemens is a comic Bildungsroman or coming-of-age novel that has been enjoyed by readers young and old for the past 20 years. Reading the novel is rumoured to have saved souls, induced labour in an overdue pregnancy, and persuaded a major business to stay in Manitoba. The book has been carried in brown paper bags, sold from under counters, and holds an unofficial record for the most copies of a novel sold in a hardware store. Professors have taught the novel in university literature courses and scholars have devoted chapters of their doctoral dissertations to this novel. The Salvation of Yasch Siemens has been analyzed in terms of the rhetoric of plain style, myth and ritual, and Bakhtin’s carnival theory, among others. But mostly, readers have doubled over with laughter, wept, and revelled in the sensuous, earthy world created by language both strange and familiar at the same time. Why study The Salvation of Yasch Siemens? • The novel is a prairie classic. Before the novels of David Bergen and Miriam Toews and the poetry of Di Brandt, there was The Salvation of Yasch Siemens. • The novel can be read on a number of levels. • The novel is an example of “ethnic” writing that transcends its origins without surrendering to the “mainstream”. • In a time when most pop culture stories come from New York or Los Angeles, this novel encourages readers to value their own backgrounds and experiences.

    Book Reviews Reviews of Fiction and Poetry Armin Wiebe, The Moonlight Sonata of Beethoven Blatz. Winnipeg: Scirocco Drama Series, 2011. 103 p. Softcover, $14.95 CDN If you missed Theatre Projects’ premiere production of Armin Wiebe’s debut full-length play, The Moonlight Sonata of Beethoven Blatz, in Winnipeg this spring, you missed some great theatre! Every minute was crackling with the kind of good-natured, surprising, heart- heaving comedic drama we have come to expect from Armin Wiebe’s fiction, from his astonishing, feisty, sad, funny, prairie-inflected first novel, The Salvation of Yasch Siemens (1984), onwards. Beethoven Blatz is a tour de force, first class theatrical accomplishment, riveting and deeply satisfying to watch and experience. Kudos to Armin Wiebe and director Kim McCaw, who returned to his Manitoba roots to bring this play to the stage, in the city where he did so much to foster home-grown Manitoba playwriting and production before moving to Alberta in the mid-90s. This is a wonderful fruition of his farsighted prairie-based vision! Kudos to the talented cast and crew, who carried the formidable challenges of the script with such spiritedness and aplomb. Kudos to Managing Director Ardith Boxall and all the people at Theatre Projects who work with such commitment and smarts to bring consistently high quality new playwriting to the Manitoba 374 Journal of Mennonite Studies stage. And kudos also to Gordon Shillingford and Scirocco Drama, for promptly bringing new Manitoba plays to print so they can be read and enjoyed immediately and long after the theatre event – and hopefully restaged many times.
