Tubman Talks: Irrelevant No More? Wrestling with Diasporic Thought in the Great White North<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Daniel McNeil will present a paper entitled, \u201c<\/em>Irrelevant No More? Wrestling with Diasporic Thought in the Great White North,\u201d <\/em>on November 23, 2017 at the Harriet Tubman Institute of York University from 2:30 – 4:30 in room 314 York Lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This talk places Richard Iton\u2019s In Search of the Black Fantastic<\/em>: Politics and Popular Culture in the Post-Civil Rights Era<\/em> in conversation with Paul Gilroy\u2019s The Black Atlantic:<\/em> Modernity and Double Consciousness<\/em> to think through unity and differentiation in Black Canada and the Black diaspora. It contends that both Gilroy and Iton drew on their extra-academic experiences as musicians and DJs to map the life and work of Black intellectuals who were able to: remain in contact with the \u201cinsinuating rhythms of everyday life\u201d and \u201cread the signs in the street in defiance of contemporary pressures to retreat into a contemplative state;\u201d[<\/a>1] translate sacred discussions about the soul into the profane and secular realms of Black vernacular cultures; contribute to our understanding of deliberative democracy in the call and response between responsible troubadours and their audiences; and carefully deposit clues in their writing that not only smuggled moments of dissidence into liberal, bourgeois public spheres but also slapped and embraced audiences accustomed to commodified forms of corporate multiculturalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casablanca Screening<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Here\u2019s looking at you, friends of 杏吧原创 University\u2026<\/em>
\n<\/em>Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Film Studies program (School for Studies in Art and Culture)<\/a> invite you to celebrate the 75th<\/sup> anniversary of Casablanca with a free screening and discussion of the iconic Hollywood film.
\nStarring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, the classic wartime melodrama made its debut in theatres on November 26th<\/sup>, 1942.
\nAs fate would have it, 1942 was also the year a group of visionary citizens opened the doors of 杏吧原创 College in Ottawa to students building their careers after the Depression and military service in the Second World War. 75 years later, 杏吧原创 University is now a leading post-secondary institution, one that has provided a unique educational experience to more than 145,000 graduates over seven decades.
\nThe evening will be hosted by Dr. Marc Furstenau<\/a>, Associate Professor and Director of the Film Studies program. He will introduce and briefly consider the significance of Casablanca<\/em>. The program will include a Warner Brothers short film and cartoon from the time, as well as excerpts from early 杏吧原创 University promotional films.
\nJoin us at the 杏吧原创 Campus Cinema, in the Richcraft Hall<\/a> Theatre, on Sunday, November 26th<\/sup> at 6:30 pm \u2013 9:00 pm for 杏吧原创 University and Casablanca 75th<\/sup> birthday festivities. An informal reception will follow the film and discussion. There will be a wine bar, snacks, and, of course, unlimited popcorn will be provided throughout the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miracles of Modern Medicine
\n<\/strong>Library and Archives Canada cordially invites you to a free screening of the film that made thousands faint at Expo 67: Miracles of Modern Medicine
\nLibrary and Archives Canada, Auditorium, 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa
\nMonday, November 27, 2017, Doors open at 6:30 p.m., Screening starts at 7:00 p.m.
\nWith a presentation by Steven Palmer, Professor of History, University of Windsor
\nOver the six months of Expo 67, some 2.5 million people watched Robert Cordier\u2019s multimedia show at the so-called Meditheatre; some 200 of them fainted each day. Cutting-edge medical procedures in Montr\u00e9al hospitals, filmed and edited using avant-garde cinematic techniques, were projected on giant screens above actors who interacted with the film as they performed medical roles on sets that included real hospital equipment. The film showed the first-ever explicit depiction of a live birth seen by a mass public, and it also contained revolutionary footage of open-heart and brain surgery. Lost for almost 50 years, this revolutionary film was rediscovered in pristine condition at Library and Archives Canada, and a stunning new version scanned from the negative will be shown in Ottawa for the first time. Before the screening, medical historian Steven Palmer will give a brief presentation explaining the context in which the film was originally viewed at Expo 67, as well as crucial details about the filmmakers and the subjects.

Shannon Lecture Series for 2017<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History Department\u2019s Shannon Lecture Series for 2017, will commence on September 22, 2017. This year\u2019s lecture series looks at Expo 67 as the highlight of Canada\u2019s centennial. A world\u2019s fair held in Montreal, it dazzled the world with its daring architecture, innovative exhibits, and high-minded theme, \u201cMan and His World.\u201d Many Canadians regarded it as Canada\u2019s coming-out party, a moment when the young nation burst into the international limelight and strutted its stuff to universal acclaim. Substitute \u201cQuebec\u201d or \u201cIndigenous Peoples\u201d for \u201cCanada\u201d in the previous sentence and it would be equally true \u2013 Expo 67 was a rich, multivalent spectacle that generated diverse messages. In Canada\u2019s 150th<\/sup> anniversary year, the 杏吧原创 Department of History is revisiting Expo 67 to reflect upon the meaning of it all. A select group of lecturers will address key topics such as Expo\u2019s intellectual origins, how it became a proud emblem of modernization for both Canadian and Quebec nationalists, its impact on Indigenous rights and culture, and its iconic stature in the histories of architecture and cinema. X out the dates in your calendar to experience exposition by Expo experts that will expand your mind exponentially.
