Book excerpt: ""Sites of Communication: The Grenfell Mission of Newfoundland and Labrador" constitutes an unconventional "media" history of the Grenfell Mission. In the North Atlantic imagination, Dr. Wilfred Grenfell and the medical mission that took his name are little-known episodes in imperial history. In recent literature, Grenfell is seen to an ever greater extent as a social reformer who, for better and for worse, "intervened to change the patterns of living" in northern Newfoundland and Labrador (Rompkey 1991: xiv). The mission he worked to establish, culminating in the incorporation of the International Grenfell Association (IGA) in 1914, was an organization that would eventually oversee the construction and functioning of hospitals, nursing stations, schools, orphanages, cooperative stores, and light industries, amongst other institutional types, becoming a vast northern health network that the IGA ran until, in 1981, it was finally transferred over to provincial control. Known as Grenfell Regional Health Services, it merged with Health Labrador Corporation in 2005 to create the Labrador-Grenfell Regional Health Authority.Drawing on the field-defining work of political economist and communication theorist Harold Innis, my dissertation examines the various material and immaterial mediations that the Grenfell Mission brought to this supposedly remote region of the world. It is a scholarly contribution to the fields of communication studies, architectural theory and history, and historical inquiry in a broad sense that expands what we normally consider as "media" of communication to include the practices and technologies of aerial surveying, early forms and ideologies of cooperative finance, the introduction of new preventative medical techniques, and the appearance of reinforced concrete in imperial building practices, amongst a host of others. One of its secondary aims is to reconsider the relationship between "natural" resources and their associated human practices. By siting communication as a social process, I address those histories of communication in North America that see it as the story of ever greater and ever increasing connectivity. In my story, isolation can bring its own forms of environmental mediation." --

Download or read book The Grenfell Medical Mission and American Support in Newfoundland and Labrador 1890s 1940s written by Jennifer J. Connor and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Wilfred Grenfell, physician and folk hero, recruited thousands of volunteer workers for his Newfoundland and Labrador seamen's mission, many of them Americans from Ivy League institutions. As the medical mission grew to become the International Grenfell Association, establishing institutions along the Labrador and northern Newfoundland coasts, Americans also became resident staff leaders in the region, and Grenfell himself married an American, Anne MacClanahan, who led mission activities. The Grenfell Medical Mission and American Support in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1890s-1940s reveals the nature and extent of support from Americans throughout the distributed privately run social enterprise until the 1940s, before the region joined Canada. Essays explore the organization's claims to share an Anglo-Saxon heritage with the United States, American reaction to its financial scandal and creation of an incorporated association, its promotion of sport and masculinity, and the development of education and schools in the region and the mission. The organization's strong ties to the United States are exemplified by Grenfell's friendship with American physician John Harvey Kellogg; the donation of clothing from American donors; the work of one American woman on her affiliated mission unit; the impact of American philanthropy and training on the construction of the mission's main hospital in St Anthony; and the superior American-accredited health care facilities and their clinical achievements. From its corporate base in New York City, the International Grenfell Association blended contemporary social movements and adopted American notions of philanthropy. The Grenfell Medical Mission and American Support in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1890s-1940s offers the first thorough history of an iconic health and social organization in Atlantic Canada.
Download or read book Silk Stocking Mats written by Paula Laverty and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2005 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 1928, the Grenfell Mission sent out a call to socialites: "When your stockings run, let them run to Labrador!" The creative recycling of tattered stockings, dyed in soft hues, is just one of many innovations that made Grenfell hooked mats highly collectible folk art. In Silk Stocking Mats, Paula Laverty chronicles the development of a local craft into an art form. For generations Newfoundland women had augmented their family's unreliable fishing income with a "matting season" in February and March. Through the Grenfell Mission's Industrial Department, set up in 1909 to help develop cottage industries, the mat industry became an increasingly important source of income reaching peak production in the late 1920s and early 1930s when the women's mats became renowned for their strong design, meticulous craftsmanship, and distinctive northern images chronicling life in the north. Reindeer, sled dog teams, polar bears, schooners, outports, and florals are but a few of the mat designs.Silk Stocking Mats is the result of over seventeen years of exhaustive research and draws on personal interviews with older women who recall their hooking days, the study of hundreds of archival documents, and careful examination of countless Grenfell hooked mats. Laverty's book is beautifully illustrated with photographs and descriptions including rare and unusual as well as common mat designs.
