{"title":"‘‘A Good Canadian Boy’’: Crisis Masculinity, Canadian National Identity, and Nostalgic Longings in Don Cherry’s Coach’s Corner","authors":"Kristi A. Allain","doi":"10.3138/IJCS.52.107","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/IJCS.52.107","url":null,"abstract":"In this article, I examine the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s controversial hockey commentator Don Cherry and his weekly television segment on Hockey Night in Canada called Coach’s Corner. Through a content analysis of three seasons of Coach’s Corner (2006–07, 2007–08, 2008–09), I examine Cherry as a marker (and maker) of nostalgic remembering. The press and the public both revere and revile his performance of manliness, and the style of masculinity that he advocates, as a throwback to simpler days. For Cherry, these simpler times, which contrast with the idea of a current-day masculinity in crisis, privileged the ‘‘self-made man’’ who, through hard work, could make a way for himself in the world. In this article, I argue that Cherry’s articulations of morality are linked to discourses of masculinity in crisis, taking the form of a nostalgic privileging of an anachronistic style of masculinity that locates an appropriate sense of masculine style within a particular class consciousness, namely the working class, and a particular geographic locale, namely small-town Canada.Dans cet article, je m’intéresse au controversé commentateur de hockey du réseau CBC, Don Cherry, et à sa capsule hebdomadaire Coach’s Corner présentée pendant l’émission Hockey Night in Canada. Dans une analyse de contenu effectuée sur trois saisons de Coach’s Corner (2006–2007, 2007–2008, 2008–2009), j’étudie le personnage en tant que pilier (et artisan) d’une certaine nostalgie. L’image de la virilité qu’il projette, de même que le style de masculinité qu’il défend et qui renvoie à une époque révolue, est à la fois vénérée et condamnée par les médias et le public. Pour Don Cherry, cette époque révolue, qui contraste avec l’idée d’une crise actuelle de la masculinité, favorisait le self-made-man, celui qui se faisait tout seul une place dans le monde grâce à son travail acharné. Dans cet article, je soutiens que la moralité formulée par Don Cherry est liée aux discours sur la crise de la masculinité; elle prend la forme d’un privilège nostalgique accordé à un style anachronique de masculinité qui rattache la virilité adéquate à une conscience de classe bien précise – la classe ouvrière –, et à lieu géographique déterminé – la petite ville canadienne.","PeriodicalId":29739,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"107 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3138/IJCS.52.107","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69315388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to reveal the extent to which a change in the cultural, social, and economic environment exerts impact on the language behaviour of immigrants and, thus, brings about changes of attitude toward the native language and the degree to which it is used. It also discusses the importance and role of the methodological ways and means of data collection and touches upon several theoretical issues related to the necessity of adopting a more suitable approach to multilingualism in modern globalized societies as well as to problems associated with the consequences of having only monolingual or bilingual nation state language policies.Cette étude décrit les caractéristiques linguistiques et sociolinguistiques spécifiques de la commutation de code (code-switching) qui sont détectés dans le discours de la première génération d’immigrants bulgares au Canada.

L’étude aborde également l’importance et le rôle des moyens de collecte de données méthodologiques et touche à plusieurs questions théoriques, liées à la nécessité d’adopter une approche plus appropriée pour le multilinguisme dans les sociétés mondialisées modernes, ainsi qu’à des problèmes liés aux conséquences des politiques linguistiques seulement monolingues ou bilingues, issues de l’Etat-nation.","PeriodicalId":29739,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":"39 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3138/IJCS.52.39","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69315412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Challenging Reconciliation: Indeterminacy, Disagreement, and Canada’s Indian Residential Schools’ Truth and Reconciliation Commission","authors":"J. Weiss","doi":"10.3138/IJCS.51.27","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/IJCS.51.27","url":null,"abstract":"This article investigates some of the kinds of social work that the twinned concepts of “truth” and “reconciliation” are currently performing in Canada. Though they are intimately associated with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRCC) and Indian residential schools, it is submitted that it is important to investigate the multiple ways in which truth and reconciliation as concepts are deployed by TRCC supporters, analysts, and critics alike. I argue that there is in fact no clear consensus in what truth and reconciliation should mean for residential school survivors or for Aboriginal peoples more generally in the context of a contemporary Canada with uneasy ties to its own colonial history. Through a detailed examination of the Canadian TRCC, I demonstrate that the commission’s framing of “truth” and “reconciliation” rests on a fundamental indeterminacy. It is suggested further that this indeterminacy can be seen as both problematic and productive, facilitating perspectives that undergird state legitimization and powerful critiques of that same state and its relation to Indigenous peoples. To demonstrate this ambivalent potential, the article offers a reading of selected articles from the Aboriginal Healing Foundation’s report From Truth to Reconciliation: Transforming the Legacy of Residential Schools. These selections, I argue, draw on the language of “truth” and “reconciliation” made available by the very ambiguity of the TRCC’s own objectives and mandate in order to advance arguments and objectives that not only offer alternative visions of what “truth and reconciliation” should mean for Canada but also do so in ways that challenge state legitimacy and authority and make powerful claims in support of Aboriginal sovereign rights in Canada. Cet article examine certains aspects du travail que les concepts jumeaux de « vérité » et de « réconciliation » sont en train d’effectuer sur la société au Canada. Bien que ces termes soient intimement liés à la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada (CVR) et aux pensionnats indiens, je postule qu’il est important de considérer les multiples façons dont les concepts de vérité et de réconciliation sont déployés tant par les partisans que par les analystes et les détracteurs de la CVR. Je soutiens qu’il n’existe en fait aucun consensus clair sur ce que la vérité et la réconciliation devraient signifier pour les survivants des pensionnats ou les peuples autochtones en général, dans le contexte contemporain d’un Canada aux prises avec son histoire coloniale. En étudiant dans le détail la CVR canadienne, je montre que le cadre qu’elle donne à la « vérité » et à la « réconciliation » repose sur une indétermination fondamentale. Selon moi, cette indétermination présente des aspects à la fois problématiques et productifs, dans la mesure où elle ouvre des perspectives qui assoient, en même temps que la légitimation de l’État, des critiques convaincantes de ce même État et de sa relation au","PeriodicalId":29739,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"51 1","pages":"27 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2015-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3138/IJCS.51.27","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69315271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Morton’s Manitoba: A History, Seymour Martin Lipset’s Agrarian Socialism, and C.B. Macpherson’s Democracy in Alberta offer divergent thematic entry points for the study of prairie politics. The rigorous research and graceful literary styles of Morton, Lipset, and Macpherson properly qualified their books as classics. In presenting readers with the idiosyncratic ideational environments of the specific province they examined, each author brought a distinctive mindset to fathoming prairie politics. The Prairies were a region of their minds. The historian Morton is presented as a Liberal-cum-Tory, the sociologist Lipset as a socialist-cum-liberal, and the political theorist Macpherson as a Marxist-cum-liberal idealist. Les orientations idéologiques, géographiques et disciplinaires dans Manitoba: A History, de W. L. Morton, Agrarian Socialism, de S. M. Lipset et Democracy in Alberta, de C. B.

Les recherches rigoureuses et l’élégance littéraire des auteurs font de ces ouvrages, à juste titre, des classiques. En mettant sous les yeux des lecteurs le milieu idéationnel singulier de la province à laquelle chacun s’intéresse, les auteurs déploient, pour cerner et comprendre la politique dans les Prairies, une structure mentale distincte – les Prairiesétant, pour ainsi dire, une région de leur esprit.

{"title":"Public Policy, Rights, and Abortion Access in Canada","authors":"Rachael Johnstone, Emmett Macfarlane","doi":"10.3138/IJCS.51.97","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/IJCS.51.97","url":null,"abstract":"The Supreme Court of Canada’s 1988 decision to invalidate federal criminal law restrictions on abortion is often portrayed as paving the way for unregulated “abortion on demand” in Canada. This depiction belies the patchwork of regulatory barriers to access in place at the provincial level and obscures a host of litigation for improved funding and access across the country. This article explores the policy and legal landscape surrounding abortion access since 1988. Our findings suggest that provincial policies and lower court judgments have shown considerably different interpretations of what the Court’s landmark ruling requires. In part, this is a result of a problematic distinction that the Court’s reasoning makes between “negative rights,” which are protections against state interference, and “positive rights,” which would require the state to take action or provide funding to ensure access. We examine the implications of this distinction from both a rights and policy perspective, ultimately arguing that courts are not the only, or best, body through which to realize positive rights. Instead, we argue that legislatures need to take seriously their obligations under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. La décision de la Cour suprême du Canada, en 1988, d’invalider les restrictions sur l’avortement imposées par le droit criminel fédéral est souvent décrite comme une porte ouverte à « l’avortement sur demande » au Canada. Cette idée reçue est démentie par le faisceau de contraintes règlementaires qui existent à l’échelle provinciale et masque les nombreux litiges concernant le financement et l’accessibilité [de ce service] partout au pays. Dans cet article, nous explorons les politiques et le contexte juridique liésà l’accèsà l’avortement depuis 1988. Nos résultats montrent que les politiques provinciales et les décisions des tribunaux inférieurs proposent des interprétations assez différentes de ce qu’exige la décision de principe de la Cour. Cela résulte en partie d’une distinction problématique faite dans l’argumentaire de la Cour entre les « droits négatifs », qui sont une protection contre l’interférence de l’État, et les « droits positifs », qui exigeraient que l’État prenne des mesures ou fournisse du financement afin de garantir l’accèsà ces droits. Nous examinons les conséquences de cette distinction tant dans la perspective des droits que dans celle des politiques et affirmons, en définitive, que les tribunaux ne sont ni la seule instance ni la plus indiquée pour la concrétisation des droits positifs. Nous soutenons plutôt que les instances législatives doivent remplir les obligations que leur impose la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés.","PeriodicalId":29739,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"51 1","pages":"120 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2015-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3138/IJCS.51.97","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69315351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
