Emergent Fiction, Brandon Mcfarlane

Publications and Scholarship

The sixty-four works of emergent fiction of 2015 evidence several noteworthy transitions in Canadian prose. While it is admittedly problematic to discuss the novels and collections of short stories as some form of unified whole, several patterns emerged that merit highlighting and demand critical attention because they represent new directions for Canadian fiction.

The texts mark the arrival of a new wave of literary experimentation that embraces risk-taking and the pursuit of novelty as fundamental characteristics of good art and great storytelling. The featured texts created wonderfully new ways to tell stories by inventing narrative techniques or breaking with generic …

Integrating Non-Traditional Materials Into The Design Process, Todd Barsanti

Publications and Scholarship

In May 2016, Todd Barsanti attended a one week residency for design educators, hosted by Design Inquiry (designinquiry.net). The residency was held at The Poor Farm, on Vinalhaven Island, in Maine. He used the opportunity to work out some communications that had been percolating since he completed his Master’s Degree in Environmental Studies five years ago; a series of posters that communicate ways in which our patterns of consumption are not sustainable. Beyond the output, though, Todd was interested primarily in documenting the process of creating communications using non-traditional materials. For six days, he mucked around in the mud, experimented …

The New Visual Testimonial: Narrative, Authenticity, And Subjectivity In Emerging Commercial Photographic Practice, Heather Morton

Given the rise of consumer engagement in brand co-creation on social media platforms, we can observe massive changes to professional practice in areas such as aesthetics, and the erosion of …

Genre, Sexe Et Pénitences Dans Les Monastères Anglais À La Fin Du Moyen Âge, Christian Knudsen, Élisabeth Lusset, Julie Claustre

Publications and Scholarship

L’obligation du célibat était tout aussi importante pour les moniales que pour les moines. Ce sont pourtant les premières qui ont focalisé l’attention des autorités ecclésiastiques. En effet, la fornication avec une religieuse était classée parmi les maiora crimina et était durement sanctionnée par l’Église médiévale. Si la législation épiscopale insiste sur la culpabilité des partenaires sexuels des religieuses, elle en dit peu sur les religieuses elles-mêmes et sur leur punition. En outre, bien que les écrits monastiques de la fin du Moyen Âge insistent moins sur la chasteté des moines, ces derniers n’y sont pas moins astreints. Dans cet …
