The Campbells: lordship, literature and liminality
No full textThe Campbells have the potential to offer much to the theme of literature and borders, given that the kindred’s astonishing political success in the late medieval and early modern period depended heavily upon the ability to negotiate multiple frontiers: between Highlands and Lowlands; between Gaelic Scotland and Ireland, and, especially after the Reformation, with England and the matter of Britain. This paper will explore the literary dimension to Campbell expansionism, from the Book of the Dean of Lismore in the earlier sixteenth century, to poetry addressed to dukes of Argyll in the earlier eighteenth century. Particular attention will be paid to the literary proclivities of the household of the Campbells of Glenorchy on either side of what appears to be a major watershed in 1550; and to the agenda of the Campbell protégé John Carswell, first post-Reformation bishop of the Isles, and author of the first printed book in Gaelic in either Scotland or Ireland, Foirm na n-Urrnuidheadh (‘The Form of Prayers’), published at Edinburgh in 1567
Embroidered rhetoric: the social, religious and political functions of elite women's needlework, c.1560-1630
No full textThis thesis focuses on the Elizabethan and Jacobean aristocracy and upper gentry to yield the first detailed study of the elite needleworking woman as fashioner of her social personage, and of the objects she produced as indices of social persona, religious conscience and political agency.
The first chapter explores how needlework mediates between wtiwomeann d their social context. It surveys the way in which needlework, both as practice and as object, functioned as a vehicle for projecting persona and personage into a social context which interpreted needlework according to complex value systems of personal virtue and the husbandries of conspicuous wealth. The chapter explores needlework as a site for intellectual expression. The theories developed in the first chapter are tested in a case study of Bess of Hardwick, whose textiles show her construction of a virtuous aristocratic persona proclaiming its self-assured place in the social hierarchy.
Chapter Two is the first study to consider the needlework of Elizabethan and Jacobean Catholics in the light of the Protestant proscription of iconic vestments. It recovers the history of lost needlework from English convents on the Continent, and of the English recusants' covert provision of vestments to Jesuit missioners. The first detailed case studs' of Helena Wintour's vestments reads Wintour's Jesuit-influenced Marian floral emblems and iconography alongside Hawkins's meditation handbook Partheneia Sacra to theorise Wintour's devotion to the Immaculate Conception, and explores the vestments' relationship to the liturgy and their iconographical importance to the Mass.
Chapter Three considers needlework gifts as political currency within patronage structures at the Elizabethan and Jacobean courts. Narrated with a contemporary vocabulary of grace, needlework gifts contribute to the construction of court-crown relations, symbolised by needlework gifts in Jacobean court masques. Through needlework gifts a `feminine commonwealth' availed itself of power structures at the court of James's consort that parallel his departments, and the women's political agency in a female political hierarchy is seen encoded within gifts of needlework in the Queen's Courts final masque. The case study uses Mary's needlework gifts to Elizabeth as an index of changes in their relationship. Mary's needlework joins parallel texts such as poetry, portraiture and planned masques in developing an iconographical vocabulary centring on the Judgement of Paris, with which diplomatic negotiations sought to clarify the Queens' relative positions
Representations of Voodoo : the history and influence of Haitian Vodou within the cultural productions of Britain and America since 1850
No full textThis thesis is the first major investigation into the representations of Vodou
within the cultural productions of Britain and America. It also opens up
opportunities for further research to be undertaken in the representations of
Vodou, Haiti and the culture and religions of other Caribbean countries.
This thesis explores the representations of 'Voodoo,' the widely accepted and
recognised term for the re-imagined religion, in Britain and America since 1850.
The history of the Caribbean and Haiti is examined before considering the
influence that the religion of Haitian Vodou has had on cultural production.
Through a historical perspective the thesis will consider the evolution of Vodou
during the horrors of slavery. The historiographic representations form the basis
of the productions and are explored to contextualise Vodou in the British and
American imagination. All genres of literature are examined, from the first
mention of Vodou in the eighteenth century through to the present day. This is
followed by an examination of the cultural reproductions of Vodou in film,
animation, theatre and television to explore the diversity of the representations.
The wider societal influences are considered throughout this work to
contextualise the productions of 'Voodoo'.
This thesis argues that the cultural reproductions of Vodou since 1850 have not
changed greatly, despite various efforts to redress the misrepresentations, they
remain rooted in colonialism. It will argue that many of the cultural productions
are reliant on previous representations. They do not in the majority introduce
authenticity, instead opting for the more sensational approach. Many of the
representations will be shown to be derogatory to the religion, culture and people
of Haiti and the diaspora. This is despite Vodou as a religion having survived,
gained strength and continuing to thrive in the twenty-first century
Based on a true history?: The impact of popular "Medieval Film" on the public understanding of the Middle Ages
No full textThis thesis examines the understanding of the Middle Ages among the UK public and the impact that popular big-budget films which depict the period have on that understanding. Three films released between 2000 and 2009 are chosen for detailed study, their selection being determined by success at the UK box office as a measure of popularity: Lord of the Rings, Return of the King (Jackson, 2003), Kingdom of Heaven (Scott, 2005) and Beowulf (Zemeckis, 2007).
Ten focus group interviews were conducted with nineteen participants, all between eighteen and twenty-six years of age, none of whom had studied the Middle Ages at GCSE level (age 14-16) or higher. In these groups, participants discussed their knowledge of the Middle Ages, were shown a film, and then discussed what they had seen. Participants were asked open-ended interview questions to encourage them to respond in their own terms and define what was important to them. As a result, topics ranged widely. In preliminary discussions, participants discussed how they understood the period, their academic, experiential and pop-culture sources of knowledge, their definitions of the similar terms ‘medieval’ and ‘Middle Ages’ and also their ideas about medieval culture, religion, warfare and crusade. After the films, participants discussed what they had seen usually in the context of what they already knew, sometimes constructing false memories of what they had seen which fit with their previous knowledge. Often they used the language of historical veracity to criticise the film for other related reasons (like poor filmmaking or inappropriate accents). They found support for many of their historical misconceptions in the films, but, rather than accepting all they saw as historical truth, they engaged in a complex critical discourse with what they were shown.
The findings of this thesis have implications for medieval (and medievalism) studies, public history, and for the delivery of history in primary, secondary and higher education
Transient observations : the textualizing of St Helena through five hundred years of colonial discourse
No full textThis thesis explores the textualizing of the South Atlantic island of St Helena (a
British Overseas Territory) through an analysis of the relationship between
colonizing practices and the changing representations of the island and its
inhabitants in a range of colonial 'texts', including historiography, travel writing,
government papers, creative writing, and the fine arts.
Part I situates this thesis within a critical engagement with post-colonial
theory and colonial discourse analysis primarily, as well as with the recent
'linguistic turn' in anthropology and history. In place of post-colonialism's rather
monolithic approach to colonial experiences, I argue for a localised approach to
colonisation, which takes greater account of colonial praxis and of the continuous
re-negotiation and re-constitution of particular colonial situations.
Part II focuses on a number of literary issues by reviewing St Helena's
historiography and literature, and by investigating the range of narrative tropes
employed (largely by travellers) in the textualizing of St Helena, in particular
with respect to recurrent imaginings of the island in terms of an earthly Eden.
Part III examines the nature of colonial 'possession' by tracing the island's
gradual appropriation by the Portuguese, Dutch and English in the sixteenth and
early seventeenth century and the settlement policies pursued by the English
East India Company in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century.
Part IV provides an account of the changing perceptions, by visitors and
colonial officials alike, of the character of the island's inhabitants (from the late
eighteenth to the early twentieth century) and assesses the influence that these
perceptions have had on the administration of the island and the political status of
its inhabitants (in the mid- to late twentieth century).
Part V, the conclusion, reviews the principal arguments of my thesis by
addressing the political implications of post-colonial theory and of my own
research, while also indicating avenues for further research.
A localised and detailed exploration of colonial discourse over a period of
nearly five hundred years, and a close analysis of a consequently wide range of
colonial 'texts', has confirmed that although colonising practices and
representations are far from monolithic, in the case of St Helena their continuities
are of as much significance as their discontinuities

THIS IS THE GET - TOGETHER WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
SO WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS ANYWAY?
Everyone has been asking if it was worth all the work we put in. It certainly was worth attending a few (dozen) meetings and juggling some schedules to rekindle the old friendships from way hack when, and especially to get to know so many friends who were probably right under our noses in school, if wed only been looking. Jane Solvey said it the very best, “Its just like Christmas, you wait, then you blink and it's over!” Even the meetings were just like Christmas — we never knew what to expect, who would be there, what laughs were awaiting us, and there were many. Colly Arscne said she wouldn’t have missed it for the world, and that’s the way I felt.
That weekend, the only thing missing were some of the faces, and you could hear from every corner, “have you seen so-and-so? I hope they come.” If we succeed in compiling a Book that will be too good to put down, they'll come to the next one (I can’t believe I said that.)
So whose idea was this anyway? It was in the backs of the minds of everyone who ever attended LCI. All we did was set a goal and work towards it. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world either. See you all in a few years.
— Barb (Riehl) Cole
LETTER
FROM THE EDITOR
Putting together this book after such a successful reunion was the icing on the cake for me. I hope all those who patiently awaited its arrival will feel the same. Each turn of the page is like reliving the weekend.
Due to limited space, some pictures received after October 15th were not included. Also, some of the mug shots taken at the reunion were under or overexposed. This was not the fault of our printer.
After seeing the candid shots in color, it was nearly impossible to minimize their effect by printing them in black and white. Fortunately, we had the funds to consider printing color sections, due to refreshment sales on Friday night.
If you thought the weekend was fun, then you can appreciate how much we enjoyed it for a whole year.
— Gail (Paskuski) Gibb
There is little I can say that would add to our reunion. It was great! If you were there, well, you already know how much fun it was. If you weren’t able to make it, we sure missed you. but to help alleviate your loss, here are some great pictures!
We had hundreds of photos taken and were limited as to how many we could use, so here’s hoping you approve of our choices.
It was great. Let’s do it again sometime!
— Jane Solvey

"Hope you have a very successful reunion, and that 1 will be able to attend next time. Thank you.” - Sharon (Cave) Takahashi
“I'm looking forward to attending the reunion organize the event.” • Jim Nolan (72)
“1 wish this reunion could have been either last summer or next. I’d love to be able to be there.” - Jan (Erickson) Mason (sorry, can’t please everybody)Rev. Kert Weds, with grace:
The Lord our God, author of all creation, we give you thanks for this gathering tonight, for the opportunity to come together in fellowship, to renew old acquaintances, and to meet new friends. We thank you for all the blessings that the last 15 or so years since graduating from High School, and we lift up the hard times that might have been, that we might see your working through them, and we remember before you, all those who cannot be here tonight, especially those who have passed away. As we gather tonight, they are all present with us in our hearts, and in our memories of years past. And now, we pray that you might bless this food to our use, and us to your service. Amen.

Friday night • The Exhibition was buzzing with anticipation. The Photographer and the kids at registration areas were ready, the decorations were superb, Sam the Ram roamed around the room, everything was as ready as it could be. When people started streaming in the “magic" began. There was a chorus of “1-ook who’s here". “What have you been doing with yourself." “Its great to see you again", and all the planning paid off. Hut the real “magic" happened on the dance floor when the first few bars of Pink Floyds “Smoke on the Water" rose above the general hum of visiting voices, and everybody started cheering . . . we were with the people, listening to the music, reliving the old memories.Cindy (Cann) Huculak was talked into wearing the costume but swore us to secrecy because she’s tried to lose that image since the days of pep rallies. Half way through Friday night there was Cindy, still in costume minus the Ram’s head, sharing a beer with some old friends, caught up in the spirit. .So much for that “image". It just wouldn’t have been the same without Sam the Ram."It would have been fun to see everyone again, though I'll lie there in spirit. . . along with everyone else with their spirits. Have a good time.”

"George Virtue, C.A. and partner at Young, Parkyn McNab, married io Carole Ann (Lastuka), with two boys. An avid skier, interested in game bird hunting, fly fishing, golf, windsurfing and onology. For those of you who have been gone from Lethbridge to too long, that’s the study of the wind, and we are pretty good at that around here.”
— Madeline Balia
For those of you who weren’t here Friday night, it was indeed a good time, and carried on until about 1:30 but that wasn’t quite enough, because there were various contingencies throughout the City afterwards. I fulfilled my duty and went to the Cadillac. There was some more action over at the Wild Rose, and of course a party at Jake’s.
For the person who came the farthest to attend the reunion, and we’ll assume that she just came to see us; Debbie (Hansen) Oddershede, all the way from somewhere in Denmark. We have a flight bag to take back your smuggled goods.
We also have an unusual award, one that was certainly well-deserved, for the most paid registrations. We only had one individual who actually registered twice, filled out all the information twice, even sent in his money twice — a refund for Keith Seeley.
As you may remember, there was a discount deadline, so if you registered by midnight April 1st, you received a substantial discount. The very last registration, to the minute, receives 4 Taco Time vouchers and the good thing about those is there is no expiry date, so they don’t have to worry about when they get there. Phil and Sherri Gerlock had the last registration before the discount deadline, and because it’s the I.Cl SPOTLITE REUNION, they promptly delivered their registration form at 1.1:30 p.m. to SPOTLITE ESSO. The gas station attendant was thrilled to receive it.
George Virtue reprinted from The Herald, July 18
George Virtue, n Lethbridge chartered accountant, is one of the organizers of the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute reunion here. July 17 • 19.
How did you get involved in this project? Unbeknownst to me, at first. Barb Cole phoned me to look up speakers for the reunion, then asked me to come to a meeting. Then I found they’d put me down as emcee.
When ore you doing the emcee duties? Both the Friday and Saturday nights. On Friday, I'll just tell them a few stories, share a few memories. Then Saturday, I'll be emceeing the formal part of the program, and introducing the speakers.
Who do you have lined up as speakers? We have “Uncle” Ab Paskuski.
I le used to be our vice-principal and he was a great fritnd of the students^HeH' lie relating some of his stories from those days. It should be quite a hoot. Then well also have Madeline Balia reading some of the comments people have written in. when they registered. There are some really hilarious ones.
How many people do you expect? It's for all the grads from 1971 to 197-1, and already 560 people have signed up. including spouses. We anticipate it will be 650 to 700.
What are some of the other activities? On Sunday, there’s a picnic for all the families, at Indian Battle Park. On Friday night, we'll be making presentations for achievements, like having the most kids or travelling the furthest — we have one girl bringing her family nil the way from Denmark. Then we'll also have some fun contests, like with beer caps.
Are most of the people still living in Southern Alberta? No. they’re now literally all over the world. We’ve had some replies from people who can’t come, who are now in Africa, in Europe, and all over North America.
What have been your biggest surprises so fur? It’s the response we've had — we’ve got 50 per cent more people than we had expected — and the amazing things that some of the people are doing now.
Is it too late for LCl grads to get involved now? No. we're still accepting applications. I think we'll do it probably right up to the Friday night. We’d encourage people to get in touch with .Jane Solvcy, 329-0172, if they haven’t registered yet.
