Product Description

The period between 1916 and 1956 was a unique interval in the history of Canadian publishing. During this period not only were a significant number of non-commercial literary, arts, and cultural magazines established, but it also happened that an unprecedented number of those involved in the creation and subsequent editing of this new type of magazine - the little magazine - were women. Based on extensive new archival and literary historical research, Editing Modernity examines these Canadian women writers and editors and their role in the production and dissemination of modernist and leftist little magazines.

At once a history of literary women and of the emergent formations and conditions of cultural modernity in Canada, Irvine's study relates women's editorial work and poetry to a series of crises and transitions in modernist and leftist magazine communities, to the public hearings and published findings of the Massey Commission of 1949-51, and to the later development of feminist literary magazines and editorial collectives during the 1970s and 1980s. Writers and editors examined in this study include Dorothy Livesay, Anne Marriott, Floris McLaren, P.K. Page, Miriam Waddington, Flora Macdonald Denison, Florence Custance, Catherine Harmon, Aileen Collins, and Margaret Fairley.

From the author: Cette etude porte sur des editoriaux, des articles de journaux, des chroniques et commentaires des pages <> et des lettres a i'editeur portant sur la politique rnulticulturelle et publies dans neuf journaux en 2006. L'analyse qualitative du contenu comprend quatre categories : d'abord valeurs, identite et citoyennete, en second integration et desintegration sociale, ensuite terrorisme, multiculturalisme et les musulmans, et enfin le multiculturalisme dans d'autres pays. Quelques journalistes parmi les plus eminents au Canada ont ecrit sur la question multiculturelle. Des critiques de cette politique ont concentre leur opposition sur i'apparence des aspects syrnboliques de religions minoritaires dans la sphere publique aussi bien que sur leurs perceptions de i'encouragement que ie multiculturalisme donnait aux membres de groupes minoritaires enclins au terrorisme. Les musulmans ont servi de cible aux auteurs qui etaient contre cette politique. Mais, en dehors de ce genre de critique, de nombreux articles ont cherche a rassembler les Canadiens de naissance depuis une generation ou plus et les nouveaux arrivants autour d'un projet qui donne place aux cultures des uns et des autres. Les resultats globaux de cette etude indiquent que, en comparaison avec la politique des annees 1980, le debat mediatique a ce sujet a evolue vers le maintien du multiculturalisme canadien et suggere des ameliorations ia ou il semble y avoir des problemes.

Product Description
This text is designed to provide a basic introduction to semiotics and communication theory, with plenty of examples from, and applications to, popular culture. It aims to make accessible the technical and often abstruse subject matter of sign theory in practical ways, with illustrations in such areas as myth. storytelling, television, advertising, clothing, and architecture. Without overwhelming, this introduction allows students and interested general readers to get a comprehensive look at what semiotics and communication theory are all about. Messages, Signs, and Meanings can be used directly in introductory courses in semiotics, communications, media, or culture studies. Additionally, it can be used in courses dealing with cognate areas of investigation (psychology, mythology, education, literary studies, anthropology, linguistics) as a complementary or supplementary text. The text builds upon what readers already known intuitively about signs and then leads them to think critically about the world in which they live--a world saturated with images of all kinds that a basic knowledge of semiotics can help filter and deconstruct. The text also provides opportunities for readers to do "hands-on" semiotics through the exercises and questions for discussion that accompany each chapter. Biographical sketches of the major figures in the field are also included, as is a convenient glossary of technical terms. The overall plan of the book is to illustrate how message-making and meaning-making can be studied from the specific vantage point of the discipline of semiotics. This third edition also includes updated discussions of information technology throughout, focusing especially on howmeanings are now negotiated through such channels as websites. chat rooms, and instant messages. ...

Fantastic drama.
I first heard this series on CBC Radio. It's one of the most exciting, well-made dramas I've ever encountered-- on radio, film, or television. Hard to believe that straight audio could be as gripping as the visual experience on t.v., but it drew me in with every episode so that I felt as if I were there. It's a war story, I'm a girl, but the writing and acting are so good I couldn't get enough. Bought it for my dad as a gift--well worth the price, will buy for myself when episodes I've missed become available . (Volumes 1-4 currently available on Amazon, but it's now in about its 6th season.) Highly recommended! ... Read more
