Winners카지노 게임 컬렉션 History: The Group of Seven, the National Gallery, and Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s Global Affairs (co-authored with Lynda Jessup; manuscript under revision)
Winners' History explores the history of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s national art narrative in conversation with other art histories in circulation internationally over the course of the twentieth century. Focusing on representative exhibitions카지노 게임 컬렉션by definition, state-sponsored shows카지노 게임 컬렉션this book examines the role of national art histories in advancing hegemonic values, dominant narratives and 카지노 게임 컬렉션winners카지노 게임 컬렉션 histories.카지노 게임 컬렉션 It grows out of recent research and a growing body of literature devoted to museum representation and the role exhibitions play in reproducing cultural authority, whether of the artist, the state, the citizens it defines as such, or the museum itself. Providing detailed discussion over fourteen chapters, it deals with government-sponsored international exhibitions of Canadian art to probe the relationship between the extended state sphere of culture and the policy sphere of the state, which historically has been more explicitly directed to the advancement of liberalism and its economics.
North Atlantic Men
This book-length project examines the extra-national intellectual and cultural networks of power that connected Canada, the United States, and Great Britain from the end of the First World War to the early years of the Cold War. This study takes a collective biographical approach to a cohort of Canadian scholars, culture-makers, and politicians who were key figures in a North Atlantic community of thought, and who shared extensive ties to an American cultural power elite and to centers of power of the old British Empire. This research aims to deepen understanding of how these individuals카지노 게임 컬렉션 inclusion in formal and informal networks both facilitated and mediated state-to-state relations between Canada, Great Britain and the United States in an era during which the three states fundamentally redefined their roles in world affairs.
