Remembering School Days<br />
<br />
<br />
As children get back into their school routine, spend an evening remembering School Days of the past. The evening will start off with a few stories shared by CBRL’s recently appointed Storyteller in Residence, Ronald Labelle<br />
<br />
A slide show of school days photos from the Beaton Institute will be presented and the rest of the evening will come from you.<br />
<br />
Dust off your yearbooks and recall stories from your own school years, that favourite teacher or fun event…<br />
<br />
All Are Welcome!<br />

Tea and light refreshments will be served.CBU Englishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08555515223886244349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209259161901925534.post-16044189901352473332015-04-14T12:22:00.000-07:002015-04-14T12:22:05.866-07:00Noted author coming to read<div class="MsoNormal">

In April, the Boardmore will audition
young actors for the roles of Hamlet and Ophelia in William Shakespeare's
<i>Hamlet</i>. The remaining roles will be cast in September.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
We welcome auditioners between the ages of 16-26, of any
ethnicity or gender. Priority will be given to current or incoming CBU
students.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
We seek eager performers who are skilled in communication
and time management. Prior stage experience is an asset, but is not required.
Bring a résumé if you have one.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Availability is key. Actors will rehearse over the Summer
(on a flexible schedule), Fall and Winter (evenings and weekends). The
performance dates (January 21-31, 2016) include some daytime matinees for
student groups.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">

<div class="MsoPlainText">
Auditioners should prepare one monologue from a different
play by Shakespeare or a contemporary (ie. NOT from Hamlet). Memorization is
not required, but you should be comfortable with the speech and have a good
understanding of its meaning. You may also be asked to perform “cold” or
unprepared readings.<o:p></o:p></div>

MacNeil, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) English student, was honoured in the existing sitcom category for his hilarious spec script for the CBS hit <span style="font-style:italic;">The Big Bang Theory</span>.<br /><br />The Creative World Awards is an international competition based in Los Angeles. Its goal is to recognize up and coming talent and encourage writing within the film and television industry. Submitted works must be produced by amateurs, and be written in English. The competition is considered by many to be one of the leading screenplay and teleplay competitions in the world with participation from some of the major production companies in the industry.<br /><br />In 2008, MacNeil’s spec script for film, <span style="font-style:italic;">The Last Anzian</span>, reached the quarter-finals in the Austin Film Festival drama category, and this year, the same script placed as a preliminary finalist in the Creative World Awards action/adventure category in their feature screenplay competition. <br /><br />MacNeil is currently in the last year of his degree at CBU and plans on earning a Master’s degree in English with a focus on creative writing to help him in pursuing his interests in film, television, and literature.Pettrichorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11322527437413834482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209259161901925534.post-87522762911959471372011-08-30T05:58:00.000-07:002011-08-30T06:01:15.304-07:00Meet Dana Mount!I spend my few bits of free time these days dreaming up reading lists for my future courses. A reading list is a lot like a playlist: you want it to have a theme, a mood. It should excite people, and maybe even surprise them. But you don’t want to hear my playlists, because I’m pretty hopeless when it comes to music, really. What I do know is books. More specifically (because by this point in our education and careers, we professors get pretty specific), I know postcolonial environmental literature.
<br />
<br />I’m Dana Mount, and I’m (delighted to be!) the new professor in World and Indigenous Literatures here at CBU. I’ll tell you a bit about how I came to be where I am today. It’s a story of someone who tried to avoid studying English but kept coming back to it.
<br />
<br />Upon leaving high school I was pretty determined to Save the Planet. I enrolled in the Bachelor of Environmental Studies program at York University where I met a bunch of wonderful people who were also pretty determined to Save the Planet. Turns out many of them had a lot more hands-on determination than me. I kept gravitating towards questions about why we were in the state of crisis that we were in, what informed our attitudes towards the environment.
<br />
<br />My focus on cultural attitudes towards the environment led me to want to study theories of power and structure in society. I undertook a Masters of Arts in the School of Women’s Studies, also at York University. There I studied theories of race and racism, labour history, gender and sexuality, global development and politics. I met a lot of inspiring people who are working to end oppression.
<br />
<br />Throughout these two degrees, though, what sustained me was being able to take courses on literature where I could finally see these larger ideas being expressed, argued, and illuminated in ways theory alone was unable to do. I signed on for a PhD in the Department of English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University. I met a lot of people who are passionate about reading and who believe in the power of writing. There I combined my interest in world and indigenous issues, environmentalism, and literature.
<br />
<br />And it is that combination that I bring with me here at CBU. Next year I hope to be offering courses in postcolonial literature and theory. I’m working on the reading list right now, and yes, I take requests. Feel free to drop by (CC228) or email me, dana_mount@cbu.ca.

<br />Instructor: Dr. Richard Marchand
<br />Frnc 3701 is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Acadian culture, its history, language and literature (in the original and in translation). The course will include historical material (Naomi Griffiths – Contexts of Acadian History 1686-1784) revealing both English and French Colonial attitudes and the realities of the Acadian “nation” through the ages. The literary investigation will follow with a focus on poetry (Reves Inachevees – Unfinished Dreams: contemporary Poetry of Acadia), drama (Maillet – La Sagouine) and the novel (Maillet Pelagie la Charette), in the original texts but with English translations for support, although the classroom discussions will be primarily in French. We will also look at the difficulties of translation when what might be called “regional works” are involved.
<br />
<br />FRNC 3703: Innovation & Variation in French/Francophone Literature
<br />Instructor: Dr. Bernard Mulo Farenkia
<br />The course will look at forms and functions of innovative language usages (e.g. code-switching, semantic shift, loan word, calquing) and regional variations in the works of some contemporary French / francophone writers (e.g. Ahmadou Kourouma, Yves Viollier, Mongo Beti, Camara Laye, Patrice Nganang, Ferdinand Oyono, Joseph Zobel, etc.). We will further discuss translation difficulties of “regional language usages” and comment on some translation techniques adopted in the English versions of the original texts.

His work also appears in the anthologies Best Canadian Poetry, 2009 and Rogue Stimulus. Jesse has been a poetry editor for The Fiddlehead and for several other Canadian literary journals. In 2009, Freehand Books published his first full-length poetry collection, Harmonics.</span><br /><br />In this one-day workshop, we will explore the craft of poetry writing, within a fun and casual atmosphere. We will discuss some of the basics of poetry (meter, rhyme, metaphor, form, etc.), and in order to reinforce these basics, we will read some classic poems. <br /><br />Our next task will be to workshop (share/edit) our own poetry. Participants will have the opportunity to share their poems and to receive constructive feedback. Participation is therefore encouraged, but not mandatory. <br /><br />Finally, the class will discuss how to successfully send poetry out for publication in magazines, e-zines and/or books. Students of all experience levels are welcome, though some experience of writing poems is preferable (please bring them if you have any). <br /><br />In this course you can expect to become a better writer and reader of poetry, gain confidence in your writing and ideas, learn how to get published, and, of course, have fun!<br /><br />See the <a href="http://cabottrailwritersfestival.com/Festival/satellites.php">Cabot Trail Writers Fest website</a> for further details.Pettrichorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11322527437413834482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209259161901925534.post-73201886166021470842011-04-05T08:36:00.000-07:002011-04-05T08:37:29.570-07:00Celebration!Please join the Department of Languages and Letters on Friday, April 8 as it celebrates student scholarship in literature and writing.

<br />
<br />Here is what DoLL instructor Scott Sharplin had to say about his production of the Vern Thiessen play.</span>
<br />Canada's involvement in World War I marked a turning point in our country's sense of nationhood. Before 67,000 men gave their lives between 1914 and 1918, most Canadians identified more with their countries of ancestral origin; they were immigrant British, Scottish, French, etc. The geography of Canada was simply too huge to be thought of as a cultural unit. But after WWI, and particularly the Battle of Vimy Ridge, Canadians had something in common; they had fought and died together, and this sacrifice transformed a vast, multicultural country into a nation.
<br />
<br />Vern Thiessen's play "Vimy" comments on this macrocosmic process in an intimate and highly theatrical way. In a field hospital in France, one sleepless Nova Scotian nurse tends to four wounded Canadian soldiers after the battle for Vimy Ridge. The soldiers, who hail from all corners of Canada, are united not only in their love for Labatt's beer and hockey, but also in their trauma. Using the multiple subjectivity of a postmodern memory play, Thiessen gradually reveals how ordinary men and women followed their dreams into the nightmare of war, losing pieces of themselves even as they become part of a greater cause.
<br />
<br />I was born and raised in Alberta, and only recently moved to Cape Breton. In the first year following my arrival, I felt as much culture shock as one would likely feel moving to Europe or Australia. Sometimes, if seemed as if Atlantic Canada had nothing in common with the Prairies, except perhaps a mutual grudge against Ottawa. I suspect my experience is a common one; we tend to notice differences before we spot similarities, and it's easy to get hung up on regional differences, just as we often fall prey to prejudices based on race, religion, sexual orientation, and so on. Fortunately for me, my work on "Vimy" has helped me to identify the fundamental sameness of Canadians from different regions -- not only in 1917, when the play is set, but also in the present day.
<br />
<br />Vern Thiessen's portrayal of World War I is unflinching. "Vimy" is neither an anti-war play nor a patriotic piece; instead, it places the horrors of war in the context of memory and imagination, and lets the audience decide if the victory is worth the cost. Although many of the characters reach the story's end without finding closure, it is possible for a modern audience to extrapolate their narratives, and to imagine how these damaged but united veterans, and thousands like them, could return to build a country whose military mandate has predominantly been one of peacekeeping, not conquest.
<br />
<br />Just as the soldiers at Vimy had only three months to train for their dangerous mission, this group of young artists has, in three months of rehearsal, gone from rough recruits to skilled and hardy heroes. It has been a privilege to work with such a dedicated and talented cast & crew on my first Boardmore production.
