Hanna Kay describes her journal, begun in summer 2003, as a dialogue between one and oneself. She says: ‘Keeping a journal is like meeting this person inside me head-on’. And that person is an artist whose journal helps the reader understand something of the way an artist thinks. Both her journal and the paintings produced in her studio measure the passing of the seasons and the artist’s emotional empathy with the landscape and living things about her as she responds to the changes wrought by Nature. Her observations of the environment are recorded poetically, her own musing interspersed with references to world literature. The book is dedicated: ‘To Nature, while she’s still around’. J. Zimmer

Almanac for the Beyond, 2019

Almanac for the Beyond is an edited volume of experimental eco-criticism. Providing a twist on the almanac tradition, this collection of essays, graphs, poems, art works, miscellaneous references, and more critiques the limits of the petroculture imagination, honors the rhythms of nature, and builds capacity to attend to contemporary environmental and societal change. The edifying, mystifying, editorializing and amaz-ifying contributions offer ways to see the weather (and the climate) “beyond" current and often damaging assumptions about what can and cannot be done to predict, fix, or modify it. Beyonds are everywhere—moving towards new possibilities of regeneration and diverse futures. Published by Tropic Editions 2019. This book was initiated by the Banff Research in Culture Group at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity led by Imre Szeman and Eva-Lynn Jagoe in the Summer of 2018. Its publication is generously supported by Future Energies System research project at University of Alberta.

Urban History Review, 2019

Small urban centres remain largely overlooked in historical studies of the counterculture in Canada. This article examines the rise and fall of the scene in Banff, Alberta-a single-industry town with an economy based on accommodating travelling pleasure-seekers, that lacked an elected municipal government. Beginning in 1965, a fast-growing number of counterculture and transient youths trekked to Banff each summer. Some used its public spaces for behaviour Banffites deemed inappropriate and also bothersome to tourists, which pushed officials, business owners, and other permanent residents to debate the nature and limits of tolerance in their community. A few facilities and services welcomed counterculture youth, but most residents remained apprehensive about how Banff's image might be affected during the high tourist season. After years of mounting frustration and resentment, tensions reached a crescendo in 1971, following which Banff's status as a counterculture destination abruptly collapsed.

Gaya bercerita seorang penulis merupakan hal yang menarik untuk diamati. Penulis yang baik biasanya mempunyai gaya penulisan tertentu yang dapat berfungsi sebagai sebuah sarana untuk menarik perhatian pembaca. Dalam hal ini, penulis menggunakan fitur-fitur linguistik dan membuatnya menjadi bentuk foregrounding.

Di samping itu, penelitian ini juga membahas keistimewaan Steinbeck sebagai seorang penulis besar dari Amerika Serikat, yang dapat membuat bentuk-bentuk foregrounding ini menjadi faktor-faktor yang dapat mendukung elemen-elemen sastra dalam novel tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif dengan menggunakan teknik acuan atau referensial. Teori yang digunakan adalah teori campuran (eklektik), yang bersumber dari para pakar lin...
