Around the 's or 's a transformation in how he was perceived occurred. Now he is acknowledged as the father of Manitoba and a hero for Metis rights. Manitoba even has a holiday named for him. Personally, I think he suffered from schizophrenia but he was brilliant and charismatic and he was the right person at the right time. Read this book if your memory of history is a little dim. It really brings that time to life. Deeply researched yet carefully manipulated, the final result goes past history and into literature Louis Riel," as told by Chester Brown becomes a deeply personal, utterly compelling page-turner in the guise of a 19th-century history book. His work has not only upped the high-water mark for fellow comics artists, but has served as a portal for the medium into mainstream culture Not overly intellectualized yet dense with detail, the book is a wonderful combination of factual resources and powerful art and storytelling.

The story can seem over-simplified at times, but overall this is a neat way to learn about Riel. I think this is a great way of learning about the life of Louis RIel and not just him but more! And honestly it's better then read a large textbook. Perfect to share with a high school student. In the canon of historical graphic novels, this is a particular treat. Brown is a master of dialogue who moves the story forward without devoting pages to monologues and rants. The scope of Riel's life is equally impressive, and Brown is excellent at showing the reader his transformation. The story of the charismatic nineteenth century Metis leader, whose struggle to win rights for his people led to violent rebellion on the Canadian frontier. Main navigation. Open search form.

    DRAWN & QUARTERLY spring 2012 catalogue EXCERPT FROM GUY DELISLE’S JERUSALEM EXCERPT FROM GUY DELISLE’S JERUSALEM EXCERPT FROM GUY DELISLE’S JERUSALEM CANADIAN AUTHOR GUY DELISLE JERUSALEM Chronicles from the Holy City Acclaimed graphic memoirist Guy Delisle returns with his strongest work yet, a thoughtful and moving travelogue about life in Israel. Delisle and his family spent a year in East Jerusalem as part of his wife’s work with the non-governmental organiza- tion Doctors Without Borders. They were there for the short but brutal Gaza War, a three-week-long military strike that resulted in more than 1000 Palestinian deaths. In his interactions with the emergency medical team sent in by Doctors Without Borders, Delisle eloquently plumbs the depths of the conflict. Some of the most moving moments in Jerusalem are the in- teractions between Delisle and Palestinian art students as they explain the motivations for their work. Interspersed with these simply told, affecting stories of suffering, Delisle deftly and often drolly recounts the quotidian: crossing checkpoints, going ko- sher for Passover, and befriending other stay-at-home dads with NGO-employed wives. Jerusalem evinces Delisle’s renewed fascination with architec- ture and landscape as political and apolitical, with studies of highways, villages, and olive groves recurring alongside depictions of the newly erected West Bank Barrier and illegal Israeli settlements. His drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. Jerusalem showcases once more Delisle’s mastery of the travelogue. “[Delisle’s books are] some of the most effective and fully realized travel writing out there.” – NPR ALSO AVAILABLE: SHENZHEN 978-1-77046-079-9 • $14.95 USD/CDN BURMA CHRONICLES 978-1770460256 • $16.95 USD/CDN PYONGYANG 978-1897299210 • $14.95 USD/CDN GUY DELISLE spent a decade working in animation in Europe and Asia.

  • English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada
    Drawing on the Margins of History: English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada by Kevin Ziegler A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Kevin Ziegler 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This study analyzes the techniques that Canadian comics life writers develop to construct personal histories. I examine a broad selection of texts including graphic autobiography, biography, memoir, and diary in order to argue that writers and readers can, through these graphic narratives, engage with an eclectic and eccentric understanding of Canadian historical subjects. Contemporary Canadian comics are important for Canadian literature and life writing because they acknowledge the importance of contemporary urban and marginal subcultures and function as representations of people who occasionally experience economic scarcity. I focus on stories of “ordinary” people because their stories have often been excluded from accounts of Canadian public life and cultural history. Following the example of Barbara Godard, Heather Murray, and Roxanne Rimstead, I re- evaluate Canadian literatures by considering the importance of marginal literary products. Canadian comics authors rarely construct narratives about representative figures standing in place of and speaking for a broad community; instead, they create what Murray calls “history with a human face . the face of the daily, the ordinary” (“Literary History as Microhistory” 411).

  • Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way: the War-Time Comics of Bell Features Publications Ivan Kocmarek Hamilton, Ontario
    Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way: The War-Time Comics of Bell Features Publications Ivan Kocmarek Hamilton, Ontario 148 What might be called the “First Age of Canadian Comics”1 began on a consum- mately Canadian political and historical foundation. Canada had entered the Second World War on September 10, 1939, nine days after Hitler invaded the Sudetenland and a week after England declared war on Germany. Just over a year after this, on December 6, 1940, William Lyon MacKenzie King led parliament in declaring the War Exchange Conservation Act (WECA) as a protectionist measure to bolster the Canadian dollar and the war economy in general. Among the paper products now labeled as restricted imports were pulp magazines and comic books.2 Those precious, four-colour, ten-cent treasure chests of American culture that had widened the eyes of youngsters from Prince Edward to Vancouver Islands immedi- ately disappeared from the corner newsstands. Within three months—indicia dates give March 1941, but these books were probably on the stands by mid-January— Anglo-American Publications in Toronto and Maple Leaf Publications in Vancouver opportunistically filled this vacuum by putting out the first issues of Robin Hood Comics and Better Comics, respectively. Of these two, the latter is widely considered by collectors to be the first true Canadian comic book becauseRobin Hood Comics Vol. 1 No. 1 seems to have been a tabloid-sized collection of reprints of daily strips from the Toronto Telegram written by Ted McCall and drawn by Charles Snelgrove. Still in Toronto, Adrian Dingle and the Kulbach twins combined forces to release the first issue of Triumph-Adventure Comics six months later (August 1941), and then publisher Cyril Bell and his artist employee Edmund T.

    FREE LOUIS RIEL - A COMIC-STRIP BIOGRAPHY PDF Chester Brown | 152 pages | 08 Nov 2006 | Drawn and Quarterly | 9781894937894 | English | Montreal, Canada Slings & Arrows Chester Brown creates nonchalantly brilliant comics books. Seemingly growing tired of autobiography, Brown diverted into something stranger with his, eventually abandoned, series Underwaterbefore turning his clear-headed, dispassionate style to something different — a biography of Canadian politician Louis Riel. Originally serialised in comic form over four years, Louis Riel - a Comic-Strip Biography collection of these ten issues into a single volume is by far the best way to experience the initially perfunctory feeling Louis Riel. Louis Riel is an oddly bloodless book, particularly given it covers a particularly violent period in the early history of Canada. Its characters all somehow come across as miniature people racing across a dioramic landscape. No head ever fills the frame. Brown places us in a God-like position, encouraging us not Louis Riel - a Comic-Strip Biography make human connections with the unfolding story, but to find a sense of absorption through omniscient observation. Beautiful, understated cross-hatching crops up all over the place and the artist has a wonderful way with an aerial view. Release date: Format: Black and white. UPC: Contains adult content?

  • Québécitude and the Visual Contextualization of Language In
    Alternative Francophone vol.1, 9(2016) : 136-155 http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/af Y a-t-il des traces du sentiment de l’identité canadienne dans la BD québécoise? Mira Falardeau Chercheure indépendante Parler de l’identité canadienne dans une forme d’expression québécoise revient à questionner les fondements de l’identité québécoise, avec toutes les oppositions, pour ne pas dire les contradictions inhérentes au propos. Notre postulat soutient que ces deux identités se recoupent, même si dans son discours, la culture québécoise se distingue habituellement par sa différence et sa fierté de l’être. Dans les faits, les deux cultures sont les plus souvent imbriquées, l’une faisant partie de l’autre, aussi bien du point de vue géo — politique que culturel. La BD, art par excellence du symbole et de la litote, a su synthétiser ces points de vue et à travers six œuvres sélectionnées chez six grands artistes de la BD québécoise, échelonnées de 1900 à nos jours, nous tentons ici d’éclairer ces tiraillements et de démontrer comment ces mouvements parfois antagonistes donnent lieu à une parole dynamique et représentative. Baptiste, le cocasse diplomate international, Onésime et les ruraux de Chartier, le super antihéros loufoque Capitaine Kébec, le Carcajou fripon amérindien de Laniel, la citadine solitaire du métro de Doucet, enfin Paul face à la société québécoise, tous à leur façon sont les chantres d’une façon de voir qui nous réunit à travers nos divergences. De notre projecteur, nous éclairerons tout d’abord leur tonalité de base. Puis, dans le sillon ainsi creusé, nous soulignerons la fibre particulière que chaque œuvre vient flatter et éventuellement, les ambiguïtés du discours de ces grandes figures de notre imaginaire collectif.

  • Eschatology and the Technological Future
    Eschatology and the Technological Future This book offers an insightful and timely analysis of key theorists and ideas in the intersection between theology and technology. From the religiously inspired technological optimism of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Nikolai Fedorov, to the darker technological pessimism of Jacques Ellul, the contributions of Christian theorists to under- standing the technological milieu can offer us fresh perspectives on some intractable problems of modern life. As Burdett clearly shows, technological optimism and utopianism have religious roots, and a technological culture that ignores its own roots is in danger not only of environmental devastation, but also existential and spiritual despair. A fi ne book at a critical time. — David Lewin, Liverpool Hope University, UK The rapid advancement of technology has led to an explosion of speculative theories about what the future of humankind may look like. These “tech- nological futurisms” from the fi elds of nanotechnology, biotechnology and information technology are drawing growing scrutiny from the philosophi- cal and theological communities. This text seeks to contextualize the grow- ing literature on the cultural, philosophical and religious implications of technological advancement by considering technological futurisms such as transhumanism in the context of the long historical tradition of technologi- cal dreaming. Michael Burdett traces the latent religious sources of our con- temporary technological imagination by looking at visionary approaches to technology and the future in seminal technological utopias and sci- ence fi ction and draws on past theological responses to the technological future with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Jacques Ellul. Burdett’s argu- ment arrives at a contemporary Christian response to transhumanism based around the themes of possibility and promise by turning to the works of Richard Kearney, Eberhard Jüngel and Jürgen Moltmann.
