The Sweetness Barrier, Sarah Berneche
The Sweetness Barrier, Sarah Berneche
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Sweetness Barrier is a collection of eight short stories representative of the impact the food industry has had on North America. Unlike other popular Canadian food writing, which focuses on the jovial and humorous aspects of food culture, this collection details the ways in which we, consumers and producers of food, have been eating, growing, buying, and distributing irresponsibly. While food may aid in emotional, mental and physical recovery, this thesis highlights the ways it also wreaks havoc, ravishes and destroys us. The convictions behind this work originate in Samuel de Champlain's Order of Good Cheer and in the …

R/Evolution: Social Medicine In Ink., Philip Morais
R/Evolution: Social Medicine In Ink., Philip Morais
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
R/Evolution: Social Medicine in Ink, positions composition of written words in print vis-a-vis dominance of wider social communications via multi-sensory communications media. Given no mass medium is more of an "antibiotic" perceptually for this contemporaneous "incubation" than specialized visual fragmentation of the Latin alphabet typographically set on pages, marginalized ABCs machines press in ink provide modified relevance in supplying new "circuit breaker" demands for an "electronic" jungle we swamp ourselves with. Writers who disembody their expressions by descendants of Gutenberg's technology thusly fully capitalize by writing in the mask of the artist-critic, to service to all atypically fit for facing …

Allegories Of Walking In The Modern Age., Andries Alkema
Allegories Of Walking In The Modern Age., Andries Alkema
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In The Origin of German Tragic Drama, Walter Benjamin presents the allegory as monadic in shape. Borrowing from Gottfried Liebniz, Benjamin sees the allegory as having similarities with the monad in that both are singular yet whole: the entire is condensed within the particular. In Benjamin's schema, the truth can only be gained piecemeal; the whole can only be grasped through the minutiae. Accordingly, that which previously remained out of reach---the whole---becomes graspable through the fragment. Employing Benjamin's understanding of the monadic properties of the allegory, this paper follows three allegorical figures of walking: Benjamin's flaneur, Louis Aragon's surrealist stroller, …

Tada(Da)! I Found It! (Original Writing, Poetry)., Alethea Power
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Tada(da)! I Found it! is a collection of experimental poetry and fiction. One of the central themes throughout the work is "found material." While the poetry cannot be classified as "Found Poems" in the strictest sense of the term they do draw on various textual sources (car advertisements, the Internet, both canonical and non-canonical poetry, etc.) for inspiration. In my Statement of Poetics I link my work to both Dada and contemporary Canadian experimental writers such as bpNichol, Christian Bok and Darren Wershler-Henry. Reader accessibility is a big concern for me and I see myself as writing for a broad …

Everything Must Go (Original Writing, Short Stories)., David Gregory. Burke
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Reading group discussion guide. (1) Is the proliferation of footnotes in the work an effort by the author, as Norman Mailer suggests, to compensate for his small genitalia? (2) The author writes primarily of lonely, college-age men who live in quiet apartments. As a biographical reading, can this be seen as a fear of aloneness considering the author's inability to move out of the house in which he still, at age twenty-six, comfortably lives with his parents? (3) The author has asked the reader to send, in total, $1941.09. Given the author's penchant for sleazy women and Snapple, where do …
Photoblur (Original Writing, Novel)., John Sigurd. Gudmundson
Photoblur (Original Writing, Novel)., John Sigurd. Gudmundson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The idea that context shapes text is traceable to Aristotle who identified poetry or "making" with the form or plot that best appeals to audience expectations. Today's complex world, with its host of competing truths, requires texts that reflect this confusion. My novel reacts to this context, appealing to expectations in both form and story. What are those expectations? The current appetite for shorter texts and the popularity of the short novel might be explained by a growing alliterate population, an educated group who value books, but who have little time to read them. Yet reading hasn't declined altogether. Current …

A Warrior's Song (Original Writing, Poetry, Fiction)., Sandra. Muse
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This creative writing project is a cross-genre collection of fiction and poetry. There are short stories, poems, and oral stories/anecdotes, which center on Native Canadians who served in the Vietnam War. This is not an historical work, but rather, looks at what has happened to these men because of their war experiences. It was a unique situation for any Canadian to join the U.S. military in their campaign in Vietnam, as it was essentially against the law for those men to enlist with the American military. However, the Canadian government did not interfere with its citizens enlisting, even while it …

Life Happens (Original Writing, Short Stories)., Heather Seanor
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The collection of short stories that appears in Life Happens is not candy-coated. These stories depict teenage life as many teenagers live life. Included are drugs, happiness, alcohol, answers to questions, success, hormones, sex, timidity, death, contention, humor, confusion, friendship...life. The characters are from diverse backgrounds and encounter life's obstacles in different ways. Adolescence should not be black-flagged; it should be embraced as a stepping stone to adulthood. And many times, certain kids need some guidance over those stones. Therefore, it is the hope of the author that teenagers read these stories, think about the characters, their desires, actions, and …

The Schizophrenic Virgin (Original Writing, Short Stories), Dean Michael Serravalle
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Schizophrenic Virgin is an experimental look at how stories interrelate and "congeal" to form one. Each chapter is in the semblance of a short story. The point of view changes, while characters reappear to continue their development and growth through the eyes of another. The intended effect is to show the realism of the present with an undercurrent of history, myth, hearsay, folklore and fiction. The story is set in Niagara Falls and revolves around an historical stone brick building at the cliff of the escarpment overlooking the great and infamous cataract. Niagara Falls is renowned for its beauty, …
