World Scenography 1990-2005 is the second volume in a series of
large-format, lavishly illustrated books documenting for posterity
a collection of significant and influential theatrical set,
costume, and lighting designs. This volume covers 1990-2005 and
presents designs for 409 productions from 55 countries representing
the work of hundreds of designers as researched by a group of more
than 100 dedicated volunteers from around the globe. Like all
performance-based art, stage design is ephemeral. If it is not
recorded, it disappears. And if the designs are not contextualized
through scholarship, their meanings will become obscure. World
Scenography provides an outstanding visual and contextual record of
the art of designing for the stage. The World Scenography series is
an official project of OISTAT, the International Organization of
Scenographers, Theatre Architects and Technicians.
Canadian universities face a complicated and uncertain future when
it comes to funding, governance, and fostering innovation. Their
leaders face an equally complicated future, attempting to balance
the needs and desires of students, faculty, governments, and the
economy. Drawing on more than a decade of service as president of
one of Canada's major research universities, Peter MacKinnon offers
an insider's perspective on the challenges involved in bringing
those constituencies together in the pursuit of excellence. Clear,
contentious, and uncompromising, University Leadership and Public
Policy in the Twenty-First Century offers a unique and timely
analysis of the key policy issues affecting Canada's university
sector. Covering topics such as strategic planning, tuition policy,
labour relations, and governance, MacKinnon draws on his experience
leading the University of Saskatchewan to argue that Canadian
universities must embrace competitiveness and change if they are to
succeed in the global race for talent.
Exploring pressing questions around Canadian citizenship, Canada in
Question delves into contemporary issues that come into play in
identifying what it means to be Canadian. Beginning with an update
on the status of Canadian citizenship, Peter MacKinnon acknowledges
that with the exception of Indigenous peoples, most Canadians
migrated to Canada in the last 400 years. In surveying the status
of citizenship, the author addresses the impact of these newcomers
on Indigenous peoples, and the subsequent impression that the
following influx of new immigrants and migrants has had on
citizenship. MacKinnon investigates the ties that bind Canadians to
their country and to their fellow citizens, and how these ties are
often challenged by global influences, such as identity politics
and social media. Shedding light on the connection between economic
opportunity and citizenship, and on the institutional context in
which differences must be accommodated, Canada in Question examines
current circumstances and new challenges, and looks to the unique
future of Canadian citizenship.
