This conference aims to expose and explore the breadth of an exchange of social and cultural ideals, artistic talent, intellectual traditions, and aesthetic formulations. We invite papers from a variety of critical and disciplinary perspectives -- and particularly encourage contributions from scholars and practitioners working in theatre, history, literature, politics, music, film and television, cultural studies, design, and visual art.
Some indicative post-war cultural figures and areas of influence:
• Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett: Canadian tours and compositions
• Glenn Gould as musical interpreter, recording artist, celebrity personality, documentarian
• Developments in staging, acting, repertoire, and theatre-design at the Stratford Festival, Shaw Festival, Old Vic, Chichester Festival Theatre, National Theatre
• Celia Franca, Gweneth Lloyd, and national ballet
• Robertson Davies
• Yousuf Karsh
• Intellectual exchange and influence: Northrop Frye, Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, John Kenneth Galbraith
• Henry Moore and the Art Gallery of Ontario
• John Grierson at the National Film Board
• Leonard Brockington and the CBC
• Mazo de la Roche and Lucy Maud Montgomery: influence and adaptations
Other areas of exploration include (but are certainly not limited to):
• Popular culture and popular music
• ‘French Canada' in the British artistic scene
• Cultural policy-making
• Indigeneity and native culture
• More recent and contemporary exchanges in the arts
Proposals (max. 250 words) for papers of 20 minutes can be sent to the organizers, Irene Morra and John Wyver, at canbritconference -at- gmail.com by 1 November 2016.
