Useful fortune: contingency and the limits of identity in the Canadas 1790-1850Robert, Louise 11 1900 (has links)
In this study I analyze how Lower and Upper Canadians in the period 1790-1850 articulated ideas
of the self in relation to concepts provided by the Enlightenment and more particularly by the notion of selflove.
Canadians discussed the importance of individual self-interest in defining the self and in formulating
the ties that would unite a multitude of strangers who were expected to live in peace with one another
regardless of their religious, cultural and social affiliations. Scholarly discussion about the making of
identities in the Canadas has, for the most part, focussed on community-defined identities even though it
has always largely been accepted that the Canadas were 'liberal' and individualistic societies. The writings
of known and educated Canadians show that the making of identities went well beyond community-defined
attributes.
To widen the understanding of the process of identity-making in Canada, I have utilized a wellknown
medieval metaphor that opposes order to contingency or, as in the civic tradition, contrasts virtue
and fortune-corruption. It becomes evident that those who insisted on a community-defined identity that
subsumed the self in the whole had a far different understanding of contingent motifs than those who
insisted on the primacy of the self in the definition of humanity. But both ways of dealing with contingency
continued to influence how Canadians came to understand who they were. No consensus emerged and
by 1850 the discussions of the Canadian self were rich and complex.
The dissertation pays special attention to the methodological implications of utilizing binary
oppositions such as the trope order vs contingency in fashioning the images of peoples and nations in ways
that engage 'post-modern' notions regarding the construction of the identity of the 'Other'.

The heritage minutes : the Charles R. Bronfman Foundation's construction of the Canadian identityLawlor, Nuala. January 1999 (has links)
Since Confederation, Canada has struggled to define itself and to develop a sense of national identity. Given its array of cultures and languages, its geographical vastness, and its proximity to the United States, Canada's identity crisis has become a fixture in the discourse of Canadian nationalism. Recently, a private organization, The Charles R. Bronfman Foundation, funded the production of the Heritage Minutes series. These dramatized historical moments were designed to impart upon Canadians a common set of historical images and meanings upon which Canadians could construct a sense of national identity. This thesis examines the ways in which the nation has been historically defined within the context of Canada through the Heritage Minutes . By means of discourse analysis, this thesis will elaborate on the dominant and recessive thematic patterns utilized by the CRB, to demonstrate that the Heritage Minutes construct a meta-narrative of Canadian nationalism and identity through six recurring themes.
