Office of the University President Sous fonds: Dr. James A. Gibson

Dr. James A. Gibson was born in Ottawa on January 29, 1912 to John W. and Belle Gibson. At an early age the family moved to Victoria, B.C. where John W. Gibson was a director of the Elementary Agricultural Education Branch, Department of Education. Gibson received his early education in Victoria, receiving a B.A. (honours) at UBC in 1931. In 1931 he was awarded the Rhodes scholarship and received his B.A., M.A., B.Litt and D. Phil at New College, Oxford. This was to be the beginning of a long and dedicated relationship with the Rhodes Scholar Association. Upon his return to Canada, Dr. Gibson lectured in Economics and Government at the University of British Columbia. In 1938 he was married to Caroline Stein in Philadelphia, and the same year joined the staff of the Department of External Affairs as a Foreign Service officer. Within twenty minutes of his arrival he was seconded to the Office of the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for External Affairs, W. L. Mackenzie King in charge of War Records and Liaison Officer. This was a critical time in the history of Canada, and Dr. Gibson experienced firsthand several milestones, including the Royal Visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1939. Dr. Gibson was present at the formation of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945, being part of the Prime Minister’s professional staff as well as attending conferences in Washington, Quebec and London as an advisor to the Canadian delegation. Gibson contributed many articles to the publication bout de papier about his experiences during these years. After his resignation in 1947, Gibson joined the staff of the fledgling Carleton College, as a lecturer. In 1949 he was appointed a professor and in 1951 became Dean of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Gibson acted as President from 1955 to 1956 upon the sudden death of Dr. MacOdrum. In 1963 Dr. Gibson accepted the invitation of the Brock University Founders’ Committee, chaired by Arthur Schmon, to become the founding president. Dr. Gibson guided the new University from a converted refrigeration plant, to an ever expanding University campus on the brow of the Niagara Escarpment. Dr. Gibson remained firmly “attached” to Brock University. Even after official retirement, in 1974, he retained the title President Emeritus. Gibson’s final official contribution was an unpublished ten year history of the University. In retirement Gibson remained active in scholarly pursuits. He was a visiting scholar at the Center of Canadian Studies, University of Edinburgh; continued his ongoing research activities focusing on W. L. Mackenzie King, the Office of the Governor General of Canada, and political prisoners transported to Van Dieman’s Land. He remained active in the Canadian Association of Rhodes Scholars, becoming editor from 1975 to 1994 and was appointed Editor Emeritus and Director for Life in 1995 in honour of his dedicated and outstanding service. In 1993 he was awarded one of Canada’s highest achievements, the Order of Canada. Gibson retained close ties with Brock University and many of its faculty. He maintained an office in the Politics Department where he became a vital part of the department. In 1996 Brock University honoured Gibson by naming the University Library in his honour. James A. Gibson Library staff was instrumental in celebrating the 90th birthday of Gibson in 2002, with a widely attended party in the Pond Inlet where many former students, including Silver Badgers. The attendees also included former and current colleagues from Brock University, Canadian Rhodes Scholars Association, family and friends. Gibson was later to remark that the highlight of this event was the gift of his original academic robe which he had personally designed in 1964. In 2003 Dr. Gibson moved to Ottawa to be near some of his children and the city of his birth and early career. In that year “two visits to Brock ensued: the first, to attend a special celebration of the James A. Gibson Library; his late to attend the 74th Convocation on Saturday, October 18, 2003. A week later, in Ottawa, he went for a long walk, returned to his residence, Rideau Gardens, went into the lounge area, took off his coat and folded it up, put it on the back of his chair, sat down, folded his hands in his lap, closed his eyes, and died”.

Das imagens de si ao mundo das edições: Paul de Kock, romancista popular

Paul de Kock é considerado um escritor popular e de segunda monta do século XIX francês. Partindo desse lugar comum, a presente dissertação pretendeu investigar como o próprio Paul de Kock e seus biógrafos o definiam enquanto escritor e, por outro lado, averiguar se os aspectos editoriais e materiais dos exemplares de suas obras presentes no acervo do Grêmio Literário Português do Pará podem dizer algo a respeito do suposto público leitor ao qual suas obras se destinavam. Assim, no primeiro capítulo foram analisadas as biografias e autobiografia do escritor, buscando verificar qual teria sido a representação do escritor Paul de Kock elaborada em sua própria época. No segundo capítulo foram analisadas as características editoriais dos exemplares das obras do romancista francês presentes no Grêmio Literário Português do Pará, de modo a realizar um mapeamento dos intermediários da literatura - editores, tipógrafos e tradutores - envolvidos no processo de publicação dos romances do autor. No último capítulo procuramos analisar as particularidades do suporte material de parcela dessas edições, com o intuito de compreender até que ponto os formatos nos quais as obras do escritor circularam podem dar pistas sobre a representação dos editores acerca de seu provável público leitor, bem como ser indicativos do estatuto do escritor no interior do campo literário.

Ein unerwünschtes Bild? Zur ältesten Porträtfotografie aus Skandinavien (1840)

Die nach heutiger Kenntnis erste Porträtfotografie, die in Skandinavien entstanden ist, stammt von dem französischen Unternehmer Aymard-Charles-Théodore Neubourg (1795–um 1865/1866) und zeigt den dänischen Bildhauer Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844). Trotz der damals neuen Technik der Daguerreotypie und des prominenten Modells sollte es über ein halbes Jahrhundert dauern, bis die kleine Silberplatte von dem 1848 eröffneten Thorvaldsen Museum in Kopenhagen erworben wurde. Der vorliegende Beitrag fragt nach den Gründen für die bescheidene Rezeption dieses Bildes, das einen unbestreitbar wichtigen Stellenwert in der Geschichte des neuen Mediums einnimmt. Für die Thorvaldsen-Forschung ist diese Daguerreotypie besonders interessant, da sie als fotografisches Bild – im Gegensatz zu den auf Statusrepräsentation bedachten Darstellungen in Gemälden und Plastiken – einen anderen Entwurf vom Aussehen des Künstlers überliefert.
