Thou Shalt Forget
No full textWhat is ‘cultural oblivion’ and ‘psychological colonialism’, and how are they affecting the capacity of Indigenous Peoples in Canada to actively resist systematic and territorial oppression by the state? Following a decade-long research project, this new book by Pierrot Ross-Tremblay examines the production of oblivion among his own community, the Essipiunnuat [or, ‘People of the Brook Shells River’] and the relationship between a colonial imperative to forget. The book illustrates how the ‘cultural oblivion’ of vulnerable minority communities is a critical human rights issue but also asks us to reflect upon both the role of the state and the local elite in creating and warping our perception and understanding of history

Bill Tremblay, 12th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textBill Tremblay is the author of five books of poetry. The poems in Crying in the Cheap Seats, 1971, were called ambitious and intense, natural and sprawling. His vision is turned in on himself and turned back on the world, on the crises of conscience that envelop all men. The Anarchist Heart, 1977, drew this praise: Bill Tremblay\u27s poems are committed to life… . Tremblay looks at his history and moment, tangles with it all, struggles from it and deals it to us in the poem. Home Front, 1978, brought this response: Bill Tremblay\u27s poetry grows like the broadening light of day: discovering new angles and textures in the old human concerns, seeking out the pockets of shadow which mask true motive and feeling. Of Second Sun: New and Selected Poems, 1985, critics said, There is often a wonderful energy...a kind of whirling energy...he has a fantastic grasp of the way human psyches, especially those in distress, move, and he does not encourage the pale esthetic stuff…but writing about the most important experiences... . Duhamel: Ideas of Order in Little Canada, a collection of poems in the voice of a French-Canadian painter living in New England, has been praised for the way the harsh complex clarity and the paradoxically tender compassion of this book make an extraordinary power for the dimensions of its hero. Bill Tremblay offers a unique testament to a world whose brutal fragility has found no other way to speak. Born in Connecticut, Tremblay now lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, and teaches at Colorado State University
The Role of Evidence in Establishing Trust in Repositories
No full textThis article arises from work by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Working Group examining mechanisms to roll out audit and certification services for digital repositories in the United Kingdom. Our attempt to develop a program for applying audit and certification processes and tools took as its starting point the RLG-NARA Audit Checklist for Certifying Digital Repositories. Our intention was to appraise critically the checklist and conceive a means of applying its mechanics within a diverse range of repository environments. We were struck by the realization that while a great deal of effort has been invested in determining the characteristics of a 'trusted digital repository', far less effort has concentrated on the ways in which the presence of the attributes can be demonstrated and their qualities measured. With this in mind we sought to explore the role of evidence within the certification process, and to identify examples of the types of evidence (e.g., documentary, observational, and testimonial) that might be desirable during the course of a repository audit.

L’oubli n’est pas absolu : réminiscences et prise de parole chez les Premiers peuples de la francophonie des Amériques
No full textL’auteur questionne le rapport que les Premiers peuples entretiennent avec le passé et le phénomène d’intériorisation des politiques de l’oubli dans le contexte des Amériques francophones. Il décrit comment la mémoire autobiographique du chercheur issu d’une minorité culturelle doit être attentivement prise en compte dans la recherche, en particulier en ce qui concerne l’étude de l’amnésie culturelle liée à l’expérience de traumatismes. Il réfléchit sur le potentiel émancipateur de la recherche autant en ce qui a trait à la revalidation des savoirs sur soi qu’à la génération de nouveaux modèles sociaux.The author questions the relationship that First Peoples entertain with the past and the internalization of policies of forgetting in the context of French speaking Americas. It describes how autobiographical memory of researchers coming from cultural minorities must be carefully considered in investigations, particularly with regard to the study of cultural amnesia related to the experience of trauma. It reflects on the emancipatory potential of research both in regard to the revalidation of self knowledge and to the generation of new social models
Mixing the Immiscible: Improvisation within Fixed-Media Composition
No full textThis paper will explore ways in which mastered improvisation practice, with the studio as an instrument, is a proposed avenue to bridge the historical dichotomy between what Ted Gioia describe as ‘the aesthetics of perfection’ and ‘the aesthetics of imperfection’. It is proposed as a way to re-embody fixed music, as experimented by the author through the composition of his last fixed-media work. This will be put in the context of a wider trend observed amongst the current emerging generation of composers interested in the aesthesics of the work, by opposition to the previous generations that placed the value of the work in its poietics. The vital and primal importance of practice outcome as practice-based research’s main document will also be advocated for, as these trends are happening in the laboratory of live music
