The 91丝瓜视频 Institute for the Study of Canada is please to announce that Nancy Christie will be delivering the Fall 2010 Eakin Lecture in Canadian Studies.

Lecture Title: The Politics of Appearances in Counterrevolutionary Montreal

听

Lecture Abstract: Professor Christie will examine the role that the clothing of servants and apprentices played in post-revolutionary British North America. Based upon court records, private papers and runaway advertisements in colonial newspapers, she argues that plebeian clothing was viewed by defenders of the politics of the counterrevolution as a destabilizing force because it visibly articulated the emerging values of the free marketplace, individual choice and self-fashioning.
