« Sur les rivages d’un autre âge » : Timothy Findley et Evelyn Waugh
No full textDavid Harvey, auteur de The Condition of
Postmodernity , n'est pas le seul à critiquer le postmodernisme, et à prétendre
que l'idéologie réactionnaire (comme toute idéologie) peut être à la fois sapée et
confirmée. Cet article explore les duplicités de l'éthique postmoderne par une comparaison
détaillée des écrits de Waugh et de Findley. Plusieurs uvres de Findley posent la question
du rapport entre l'éthique et l'esthétique, tel qu'il apparaît dans le discours fasciste, et
proposent des relectures postmodernes de textes et d'oeuvres d'art modernes qui, comme ceux
de Waugh, parent une idéologie réactionnaire de l'éclat d'une esthétique élitiste. Dans
certaines de ses uvres, cependant, Findley répète bien plus qu'il ne les corrige bon nombre
de problèmes aperçus dans le modernisme.David Harvey, author of The Condition of
Postmodernity (1987), and others have criticized postmodernism for pretending
that reactionary ideologies (or, for that matter, any ideology) can be simultaneously
undermined and endorsed. This paper explores the duplicities of postmodern ethics, using a
detailed comparison between Waugh and Findley's uvre. Many of Findley's works confront the
question of ethics vs. aesthetics as revealed in fascist discourse; they do so by proposing
postmodernist re-readings of modernist texts and artifacts such as Waugh's which endow
reactionary ideology with the glamour of elitist aesthetics. In some of his works, however,
Findley duplicates rather than corrects several of the problems he perceives in modernism

Timothy Findley\u27s war novels
No full textTimothy Findley has shown a deep concern for the most outstanding historical events of the 20th century, seen from the point of view of a Canadian citizen with a remarkable European vocation. Two of his best known novels are The Wars and Famous Last Words. The first one depicts the spiritual nightmare undergone by a Canadian lieutenant during World War I. The technique used for Famous Last Words is completely different and the view of the world at war refers to the period 1940-1945. This other novel depicts the activities of historical characters, besides fictitious ones. We have never felt the presence of evil so disturbing as with this extravagant tale that sounds like "the truth," because the memory of the events is still so vivid that it will outlive several generations of human beings

Two day Artist Residency 'Down the Hole', Saskatoon, Canada
No full textOver the last eight years Jules Findley’s practice has developed by looking at issues in bereavement using the material of paper. The research examines the emotions that contribute to this life changing event, affect, the psychological theory of attachment and detachment. Through making hand made paper, sculpture using paper clay Jules Findley uses the methodologies of display, play and experimentation to materialise new outcomes. In the work of bereavement it has led to questioning in-depth areas of contemporary funeral rites, as well as sensitively exploring death of a loved one and an understanding the emotions around grief. Research ideas from the wider context of grief and domesticity are conceptually formed through asking questions and in installations raising public awareness. I am interested in making the Residence with Linda Duvall as it will expand the horizons of my work. I would like to document the landscape. The landscape in Territory 6 has historical connections to the native Indians that used to live on the land. The land is flat and open like East Anglia in the UK. I am interested in collecting the soil for making hand made paper at home in response to the Residence. This would form the opportunity for new work and the work would be fed back to Linda Duvall. The work would also make opportunities for new exhibition work. Venue to be decided. My work is concerned with maternal grief, and loss as well as M’Otherhood, the abject mother, which also includes loss of the child, and the materialities of these being expressed through hand made paper and sculpture using paper based clay
Use of immunohistochemical staining and electron microscopy to aid in diagnosis of soft tissue sarcomas associated with the fetlock joint in two horses
No full textPublished online before print April 16, 2014Soft tissue sarcomas of the equine distal limb associated with joints, sheaths, or bursae have rarely been reported. Accurate diagnosis of these tumors is challenging in both human beings and veterinary species. Immunohistochemical staining and transmission electron microscopy have been used in human beings to reduce misdiagnosis. The current report describes 2 mature horses presenting with lameness and swelling associated with the dorsal aspect of the metacarpo(tarso)phalangeal joint. In both cases, surgical excision was performed with subsequent histological analysis of the masses to determine the tissue of origin. In both cases, immunohistochemical staining and transmission electron microscopy aided the definitive diagnosis of fibrosarcoma associated with the fetlock joints of 2 horses.Judith A. Findley, Ellen R. Singer, Peter I. Milner, Gail H. Leemin
Riding Off in All Directions: A Few Wild Words in Search of Stephen Leacock
No full textYou may wonder why it is that I, who am the author of books with titles such as The Wars and Famous Last Words, Not Wanted on the Voyage and The Last of the Crazy People, am writing in celebration of Stephen Leacock. The name of Leacock, after all, is synonymous with laughter, while my name (if I have one) is synonymous with madness, mayhem, and Armageddon. If the connection between Professor Leacock and myself seems somewhat forced—to say the least—perhaps I can explain. I have been living f..
