An electronic (HTML) thesis on late University of British Columbia professor
Wilson Duff, an anthropologist central to the construction of Northwest Coast art
in the 1960s and 1970s. It brings together textual fragments (historic and
contemporary, archival, interview transcripts) within a framework which attempts
to balance truth (original authorial intent and the context and academic debates
of that period) with the impossibility of truth (the notion of partial, situated truths
and critical, presentist re-readings of Duffs work some twenty-five years later).
The narrative structure is simultaneously linear and pure hypertext, depending on
the reader's choices. No two paths will be the same.
