A “Swelling Visual Arts Landscape of Eastern Canada”
“It’s the system”
The Local Initiatives Program (LIP) illustrates the problematic character of the relationship between the liberal state and community activists during the early 1970s in Halifax. The LIP was part of a new trajectory of federal programs that was intended to facilitate community and participatory action while addressing unemployment. The Movement for Citizens Voice and Action (MOVE), a coalition of community and social action groups that came toget…
Colonial Legacies
In November 2021, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) announced that the Theodore Roosevelt equestrian statue would be moved from the museum’s entrance to the not yet completed Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota. The statue depicts Roosevelt riding ahead of semi-clad walking figures of a Native American and an African man. Long the subject and site of protests, this relocation was not the museum’s first atte…

“To Create Krieghoff”
The increased importance of Cornelius Krieghoff’s art in interwar Canada illustrates the diverse processes and effects of canonization. This article demonstrates how the changing institutional dynamics of Canadian art served to rewrite Canadian art history in the interwar period and also describes the effects of this rewriting. The reconstruction of a Canadian art historical canon in the case of Krieghoff is important not simply because it change…
Beauty which we had not previously known’
A re-reading of the writings of Walter Abell, a well known art critic and theorist in Canada in the 1930s and 1940s, suggests a different way of thinking about the development of Canadian art and culture. Instead of viewing Abell's treatments of art - as have other cultural historians - as a stable discourse, this essay suggests that they are better viewed as a series of often incongruous treatments that do not constitute a cohesive whole. It is …
Artists, Society, and Activism
The Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA), established in the wake of the 1941 Kingston Conference, became a central institution through which Canadian artists attempted to reorganize their relationship to society. In particular, members of the FCA built on a series of more long-standing concerns about the problematic relationship between art and society under conditions of modernity. The FCA's goal was to bridge the gap between the arts and life …
Second Promised Land
The Ambiguities of Disciplinary Professionalization
The professionalization of Canadian anthropology in the first half of the twentieth century was tied closely to the matrix of the federal state, first though the Anthropology Division of the Geological Survey of Canada and then the National Museum. State anthropologists occupied an ambiguous professional status as both civil servants and anthropologists committed to the methodological and disciplinary imperatives of modern social science but boun…
Around and about Marius Barbeau
But Now Things Have Changed
This essay examines Marius Barbeau's early-twentieth-century Huron-Wyandot ethnography as a case study in the history of Canadian anthropology and in Canadian cultural history. It examines how Barbeau's ethnographic research became part of a broader, inherently political process, through which an Amerindian identity was remade as part of the ethnographic project. Barbeau, a noted Canadian anthropologist, studied and collected Huron-Wyandot cultur…
