Presenters: Marie Smith-Solbakken,  Professor of History, University of Stavanger and Hans-Jørgen Wallin Weihe, Professor of Social Work, Lillehammer University College, Norway. How have state revenues from oil extraction been used in Norway? This presentation draws attention to regional differences as well as the situation of the northern fishing communities and to the Saami who provide many of the industry’s workers. It discusses the policy that emanates from a social democratic socialist tradition, contrasting that with the technocratic and judicial traditions of the state bureaucracy.

Comics Pasts…

In the late 1840s, Frank Chanfrau’s performance as Mose the Bowery B’hoy in Benjamin Baker’s A Glance at New York was a sensation on the stage of the Olympic Theatre. Mose was such a popular character that he not only appeared in onstage sequels but made the leap into urban fiction and reportage, appearing inter alia in Ned Buntline’s Mysteries and Miseries of New York and George C. Foster’s New-York by Gaslight. He also starred in one of the earliest comic books written in America, Thomas Butler Gunn’s Mose among the Britishers. This presentation will examine Mose as a comic vernacular type and early multimedia star.

…and Comics Futures

The representation of reality and the understanding of the real as it relates to the mental workings of a character’s subjective mind are at the heart of autobiographical comics. Drawing from a number o autobiographical comics, I will examine some popular narrative strategies that comic artists use to secure an authenticity effect to ask how they highlight the subjective understanding of reality that characterize the genre. Doing so will shed light on the important function of an emotionally engaged subjective mind for achieving the type of emotional honesty that characterizes the form and that brings readers to engage in the storyworld.

Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre, Avalon Mall

Waves (USA 2019) 135 min.

Directed by Trey Edward Shults.

With Taylor Russell, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Alexa Demie, Bill Wise et al.

Dubbed operatic, Waves traverses some rough waters, indeed, as a family struggles to deal with unexpected challenges. The film is roughly two parts, the first focusing on the son, a bright and charming athlete; the second part focuses on his sister who has to do some heavy emotional lifting following the events of the first part. But this is really about a family compelled to deal with each other in new ways when tragedy strikes. Arguably one of the finest films of 2019, this dramatic feature boasts not only a stunning cast but also some spectacular cinematography. A robust musical score pretty much rounds out a perfectly crafted work of art.

Queen's College, 210 Prince Philip Dr.

As the oldest institute for higher education in the province, Queen’s College boasts a rich history and a growing student body. Today, it is an affiliate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and is located at the corner of Prince Philip Drive and Allandale Road.

Come share a cuppa with our Provost, faculty, alumni, and current students. There will also be tours of our space and an opportunity to learn about our current programs.

Queen’s College was established in 1841 as The Theological Institute by The Right Reverend Aubrey George Spencer, appointed in 1839 as the first Bishop of the Diocese of Newfoundland. His successor, The Right Reverend Edward Feild, re-established The Institute in a new building and named it Queen’s College in honour of Queen Victoria and The Queen’s College, Oxford, his alma mater. Its prime purpose was then to offer training leading to ordination. Since that time the College has expanded its programs to include persons who wish to pursue the study of theology or spirituality for personal growth and edification.

Come visit our space, meet our people, and learn about our programs.

Open parking available in Lot 19.
