The smoking wreckage represents only a ruined home that was dear through years of use and pleasant associations. By and by, as the days and weeks go on, first he misses this, then that, then the other thing. And when he casts about for it he finds that it was in that house. Always it is an essential -- there was but one of its kind. It cannot be replaced. It was in that house. It is irrevocably lost. It will be years before the tale of lost essentials is complete, and not till then can he truly know the magnitude of his disaster..."

...................................................................................................................................343 vi Abstract Where the Dead Remain is a murder mystery set in a Post-Katrina New Orleans where the gods, magic and monsters of various world mythologies actually exist. The story follows a week in the life of Jude Duboisson, a once magician who is struggling with the loss of his magic and the life he had known in the wake of the storm, as he is pulled out of his torpor and into the affairs of the mighty once again. He is tasked with discovering who murdered Dodge Renaud, the fortune god of New Orleans. What he discovers, though, are some surprising truths about the fundamental nature of things: about loss, about New Orleans, and about himself. Keywords: Angel, Anubis, Baron Samedi, Detective, Gods, Katrina, Legba, Magician, Mythology, Nephilim, New Orleans, Urban fantasy, Vampire, Voodoo vii Chapter One In the beginning, there was the Word, and the Void, and Ice in the North and Fire in the South, and the Great Waters. A universe created in a day and a night, or billions of years, or seven days, or a cycle of creations and destructions. The waters were made to recede to reveal the land, or the land was formed of the coils of a serpent, or half of a slain ocean goddess, or the flesh and bones and skull of a giant, or a broken egg. Or the land was brought up to the surface of the waters by a water beetle, or a muskrat, or a turtle, or two water loons. Or an island of curdled salt appeared when the sea was churned by a spear. A world populated by men who evolved from a single cell, or were made from clay or from wood or found trapped in a clam shell. Or who fell from a hole in the sky, or crawled up from an underworld of seven caves, or an insect world below. All of these stories, these truths, exist; part of a simultaneous, magical state of being that makes up the world. But it is not a world without complications. Not without conflicts. Not without seams. Jude Duboisson thought about those seams as he stared out at Jackson Square, at the broad white expanse of St. Louis Cathedral, at the plump, fluttering mass of pigeons, at the tidal ebb and flow of tourists on the cobblestones, seeing none of it. The loud, constant mutter of the crowd fell on deaf ears, as did the hooves clopping on pavement, the hooting echo of a calliope playing on a steamboat on the river. He thought about things he seldom let himself think about anymore, names and magic, lies and myth, his present and his past. Cassandra. Some of his thoughts spilled onto his face, visible in the dark circles under his eyes, the gaunt hollows of his cheeks, the speckling of gray in his beard and hair, in his stillness, his distant stare. He wore jeans and a long-sleeved shirt despite the cloying

  • 'The Blank Page': Exhibitions As Feminist Community Adult Education
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Animating ‘The Blank Page’: Exhibitions as Feminist Community Adult Education Darlene E. Clover Leadership Studies, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC V8W 2Y2, Canada; [email protected] Received: 28 September 2018; Accepted: 15 October 2018; Published: 20 October 2018 Abstract: Public museums and art galleries in Canada are highly authoritative, and trusted knowledge and identity mobilising institutions, whose exhibitions are frequently a ‘blank page’ of erasure, silencing, and marginalisation, in terms of women’s histories, experiences, and contributions. Feminist exhibitions are a response to this, but few in Canada have been explored as practices of feminist community adult education. I begin to address this gap with an analysis of two feminist exhibitions: In Defiance: Indigenous Women Define Themselves, curated by Mohawk-Iroquois artist, Lindsay Katsitsakatste Delaronde, at the Legacy Gallery, University of Victoria; and Fashion Victims: The Pleasures & Perils of Dress in the 19th Century, curated by Ryerson Professor Alison Matthews David, at the Bata Shoe Museum, Toronto. Although dissimilar in form, focus, and era, these exhibitions act as powerful intentional pedagogical processes of disruption and reclamation, using images and storytelling to animate, re-write and reimagine the ‘blank pages’ of particular and particularised histories and identities. Through the centrality of women’s bodies and practices of violence, victimization, and women’s power, these exhibitions encourage the feminist oppositional imagination, dialogic looking, gender consciousness, and a visual literacy of hope and possibility. Yet, as women’s stories become audible through the very representational vehicles and institutional spaces used to silence them, challenges remain. Keywords: museums and art galleries; exhibitions; feminist community adult education; visual literacy; oppositional imagination 1.
