Download or read book Celebrating Canada written by Raymond B. Blake and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular and government-funded anniversaries and commemorations, combined with national symbols, play significant roles in shaping how we view Canada, and also provide opportunities for people to challenge the pre-existing or dominant conceptions of the country. Volume 2 of Celebrating Canada continues the scholarly debate about commemoration and national identity. Raymond B. Blake and Matthew Hayday bring together emerging and established scholars to consider key moments in Canadian history when major anniversaries of Canada’s political, social, or cultural development were celebrated. The contributors to this volume capture the multiple and multi-layered meanings of belonging in the Canadian experience, investigate various attempts at shaping and re-shaping identities, and explore episodes of groups resisting or participating in the identity-formation process. By considering the small voices and those on the margins of Canada’s many commemorative anniversaries, the contributors to Celebrating Canada reveal how important it is to think not only about anniversary moments but also about what they can tell us about our history and the shifting function of nationalism.

Download or read book From Nothing To 90 written by Will Klein and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-09-23 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From Nothing to 90, Will Klein chronicles his life from hardscrabble beginnings as an adopted child in a Saskatchewan family struggling through the “Dirty Thirties” to early success as a newsboy and onto great business achievement despite numerous setbacks throughout his life. In colourful, humorous, observant prose, Will takes readers from Depression-era Saskatchewan through his rise in business in the early days of television to his leadership in a storied public service organization that takes him around the world and into a whirlwind of political machinations that threatens to destroy him. At its heart, From Nothing to 90 is an inspiring story about Saskatchewan: its history, hardships, and opportunities. But it’s also a book about individual initiative, seizing opportunity, and never giving up even after government betrayal and setbacks that might appear insurmountable.

Download or read book Against the Current and Into the Light written by Selena Couture and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance embodies knowledge transfer, cultural expression, and intercultural influence. It is a method through which Indigenous people express their relations to land and continuously establish their persistent political authority. But performance is also key to the misrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in settler colonial societies. Against the Current and Into the Light challenges dominant historical narratives of the land now known as Stanley Park, exploring performances in this space from the late nineteenth century to the present. Selena Couture engages with knowledge held in an endangered Indigenous language's place names, methods of orientation in space and time, and conceptions of leadership and respectful visiting. She then critically engages with narratives of Vancouver history created by the city's first archivist, J.S. Matthews, through his interest in Lord Stanley's visit to the park in 1889. Matthews organized several public commemorative performances on this land from the 1940s to 1960, resulting in the iconic yet misleading statue of Lord Stanley situated at the park's entrance. Couture places Matthews's efforts at commemoration alongside continuous political interventions by Indigenous people and organizations such as the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia, while also responding to contemporary performances by Indigenous women in Vancouver that present alternative views of history. Using the metaphor of eddies of influence - motions that shape and are shaped by obstacles in their temporal and spatial environments - Against the Current and Into the Light reveals how histories of places have been created, and how they might be understood differently in light of Indigenous resurgence and decolonization.

Download or read book Hollywood TV written by Christopher Anderson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1950s was one of the most turbulent periods in the history of motion pictures and television. During the decade, as Hollywood's most powerful studios and independent producers shifted into TV production, TV replaced film as America's principal postwar culture industry. This pioneering study offers the first thorough exploration of the movie industry's shaping role in the development of television and its narrative forms. Drawing on the archives of Warner Bros. and David O. Selznick Productions and on interviews with participants in both industries, Christopher Anderson demonstrates how the episodic telefilm series, a clear descendant of the feature film, became and has remained the dominant narrative form in prime-time TV. This research suggests that the postwar motion picture industry was less an empire on the verge of ruin—as common wisdom has it—than one struggling under unsettling conditions to redefine its frontiers. Beyond the obvious contribution to film and television studies, these findings add an important chapter to the study of American popular culture of the postwar period.
