Robin Mathews and the Canadian dialectic: Forms of nationalist thought in Canada.
No full textRobin Mathews' vision of a Canadian dialectic is a valuable practical concept because it works within a moral framework, inviting discussion at the same time as it creates a specific positive Canadian nationalism. This Canadian dialectic does not presuppose a single, unifying view of Canadian identity, nor does it produce claims to finality. In espousing a view that results in a dialogue between two competing visions, the dialectic fleshes out historic debates which increase their cultural and historical significance and promotes difference. What Mathews argues is that what is important to Canada and Canadian identity is the fact of an ongoing dialectic that is a valid counterpoint to traditionally dominant views of Canadian literature and culture.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b160052
We stand on guard for thee?"
No full text Two things must be said at the outset of a discussion on what Professors Robin Mathews and James Steele call the "de-Canadianization" of our universities: first, that it is extremely difficult to discuss this matter at all and, second, it is impossible to discuss it impersonally. As Hugh MacLennan says, "Our conscience, our sensibilities, our notion of courtesy are deeply strained by this issue" I have always regarded Canada and its people as characterized by an openness, a tolerance and a generosity that I have found nowhere else. </jats:p
The Dossier as Hornet's Nest
No full text THREE REVIEWS OF MATHEWS AND STEELE The Struggle for Canadian Universities. Professors Robin Mathews and James Steele of Carleton University have compiled a dossier of material relating to the recent controversy they precipitated when they raised the question of the increasing number of non-Canadians teaching at Canadian universities. This material is conveniently assembled in this volume under the rather dramatic and certainly value-laden title, The Struggle for Canadian Universities, but the title should not deter any reader, for within these pages is expounded a problem which is of fundamental importance to the future of Canadian higher education. Professors Mathews and Steele have assembled those documents which they feel present both sides of the story, and thus they include letters and statements which in many cases are violently opposed to their own views. For this they are to be commended; however, the authors' viewpoint is stated over and over until the reader knows beforehand what their answer will be to a particular dissenting viewpoint. If this was an intentional ploy used to refute opposing views, the authors have succeeded in making their own views seem the stronger. Still, the authors have put together a book that enables the individual reader to come to his own conclusions. </jats:p
Phonygammus yorki Mathews
No full textPhonygammus yorki Mathews Phonygammus yorki Mathews, 1924: 17 (Black Gin Creek, Cape York). Now Phonygammus keraudrenii gouldii (Gray, 1859). See Hartert, 1929a: 58; Mayr, 1962d: 180; Nunn and Cracraft, 1996; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 523–526. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 677370, male adult, collected at Black Gin (Black Jin, as on label) Creek, 10.55S, 142.22E (USBGN, 1957), Cape York, Queensland, Australia, on 23 December 1912, by Robin Kemp (no. 2180). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews said that the type was in the Rothschild Collection (indicating that his collection had already been purchased by Rothschild) and was collected at Black Gin Creek, Cape York, on 23 December 1912. It bears, in addition to Robin Kemp’s original label, a Rothschild Collection label printed ‘‘Ex. Coll. G.M. Mathews,’’ a Rothschild type label, and a ‘‘Figured’’ label. This last label indicates that it was the model for Mathews (1926: pl. 593, lower fig., opp. p. 384, text p. 384) where the correct data are listed, but it is not said to be the type of yorki. However, this is the only specimen that was collected on Black Gin Creek by Kemp and is thus the holotype. No other locality or specimen was mentioned in the original description. I did not find it listed in Mathews’ catalog. According to Hartert (1929a: 58), this type is an individual variant.Published as part of Lecroy, Mary, 2014, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 12.

Cracticus mentalis subsp. kempi Mathews 1912
No full textCracticus mentalis kempi Mathews Cracticus mentalis kempi Mathews, 1912c: 95 (Cape York). Now Cracticus mentalis kempi Mathews, 1912. See Mathews, 1923b: 398–400; Amadon, 1951: 4; 1962b: 166; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 542; Dickinson, 2003: 463; and Russell and Rowley, 2009: 338. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673566, adult male, collected at Skull Creek, 20 miles south of Cape York (as on label), Queensland, Australia, in June 1912, by Robin Kemp (no. 1048). From the Mathews Collection (no. 13154) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and noted that he ‘‘had now received a series of birds from [Cape York].’’ Mathews (1923b: 400) added that Robin Kemp collected the series for him. C. m. kempi was published on 18 September 1912, and only those specimens collected before that date can be included in the type series. It appears that Mathews had a series of two! All specimens in AMNH that Kemp collected on Cape York, other than the holotype and paratype, were collected after the publication of the name. The paratype is: AMNH 673564 (Mathews no. 13153), adult male, collected at Skull Creek in June 1912 by Kemp (no. 1047).Published as part of Lecroy, Mary, 2014, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 12.
