SPECIAL TOPICS: BOOK PUBLISHING IN CANADA 

?

PROFESSOR ROWLY LORIMER 

The course will be an introduction to book publishing in Canada. 

It will consist of an examination of the educational and trade book industry; 

its structure, operation, legal foundation and performance. Special 

attention will be paid to the character of nationally based as opposed to 

internationally based enterprises. 

Three reports will provide the basis for the course. They are: 

1.

The Royal Commission on Book Publishing of the Provin 

ce ? 

Ontario 

This work consists of two volumes, the Report itself and the background 

papers. Although there is quite an overlap both volumes are useful. 

2.

The Canadian Book Industry. This is a report referred to as the 

Ernst and Ernst Report published by the Federal Department of Industry 

Trade and Commerce. 

3.

The Publishing Industry in Canada. This is a recent publication of 

the Secretary of State. It is a report with severe shortcomings. 

However, it does provide some useful information. 

Besides these three reports students will need to read articles in 

various places. Some sources for such articles are: Quill and Quire, the 

t;:or of the Association of Canadian Publishers, other industry newsletters, 

In the latter part of the course an attempt will be made to bring 

various industry personalities to campus. They will be able to address such 

issues as "Publishing as a Cultural Industry", "Publishing as a Business," 

"Literary Publishing in B.C.", "The Educational-Publishing Scene", etc. 

Students will be responsible both for the presentation of reports 

to class and for a final research paper. It should be stressed that the 

course will be carried on, in part, in a joint exploratory effort.

Evening Course 

John P. SpagitolO 

The Middle East Today: Issues of War Peace and Development 

This will be a seminar on some of the rapidly unfolding 

events in the Middle East during the last decade. It will deal 

with a variety of topics of continuing relevance, some of which 

will be discussed by guest speakers. 

The course will study the consolidation of Sadat's leadership 

in Egypt, and the formulation of his policies of war and peace, 

as well as his treatment of serious internal problems of develop- 

ment. The contrasted effects on Israel of victory in 1967 and 

surprise attack in the Yom Kippur War in 1973 will accompany 

discussion of the changing Israeli political scene with the election 

of Begin, and also highlight the complex problems in determining 

the future of the West Bank. 

A look at the formation of OPEC, at the enormously increased 

importance of Middle Eastern oil reserves, and at the emergence 

of Saudi Arabia as a regional 'power' will accompany a study of the 

increasingly direct involvement of the United States in Middle 

Eastern affairs culminating in the Camp David meeting. 

Last, but not least, an assessment of the complex character 

the civil war in Lebanon will help abed light on the socio- 

tcromic difficulties of that country, on the problems and 

strategies of the Palestinians, and on Syria's role in the Middle 

East under the leadership of Asad. 

A student in this course will be expected to write an essay 

for presentation to the seminar, and to participate in discussion. 

It is hoped that the following paperbacks will be available for 

the course: 

Mtthamed Heikal, The Road to Ramadan 

Enver Khoury. The Crisis in the Lebanese System 

Helen Lackner. A House Built on Sand 

William B. Quandt, Decade of Decisions 

Dana Adams Schmidt. Armageddon in the Middle East

THE AMERICAN IMPACT ON CANADA, 1945-1978 

Grp 02 03 EVE 

"Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant," 

commented Prime Minister Trudeau in a Washington, D. C. address to the 

National Press Club in 1969. "No matter how friendly and even-tempered 

is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and 

grunt." Canadian concern about the influence of the United States has 

been a central theme in our history since the invasion of Quebec in 1775. 

Today, although we are allies militarily, there still exists some anxiety 

about the extent of American cultural and economic penetration. 

In this course, we will examine what forms American influence has 

taken, the process by which it developed, and the response of Canadian 

public opinion, intellectuals, and political parties with special 

reference to the post-war period. The approach will be interdisciplinary 

drawing on the fields of history, political science, economics, and 

communications. 

Course Requirements: 

The tutorial work will constitute one-third of the final grade. This 

mark will be based on the oral presentation, evidence of having done the 

assigned readings, and attendance. The essay which should be approximately 

2,500 to 3,000 words will count for one-third of your grade. The final 

one-third will be based on an exam at the end of the semester. 

Required Texts: 

George Grant, Lament for a Nation. 

Ian Lumsden (Ed.), Close the 49th Parallel. 

Additional readings will be put on reserve in the Library.

Religion: The Canadian Experience 

.

Description: 

• .no real understanding 

the. forms and values 

Canadian society is 

possible without a knowledge 

the diverse religious convictions, organiza- 

tions and experience that have substantially shaped this society." 

With 

these words, Dr. Symonds expresses very succinctly the role and importance 

of religious studies in the Canadian University. This course offers an 

introduction to the scope, content and methods of study of religion, a human 

science in its own right. Beginning with the Canadian experience particularly 

since the arrival of the Europeans, an effort will be made to search out the 

origins of present day Canadian religious beliefs.

Course Outline: 

What do women want? In this course we will explore various attempts to 

answer this question. Topics include: 

1.

A critique of psychoanalytic theories of femininity; 

2.

Different 

models

of mental illness; 

3.

The role of institutions in the treatment of mental illness; 

4. Female sexuality; 

S. The development of alternative therapies, in particular feminist therapy. 

A majority of the course content will consist of a critique of traditional 

models. In particular, a third of the course will focus on psychoanalytic 

theories. This material is difficult reading and students should be prepared 

to devote time to it, especially at the beginning of the course. 

The lecture time will consist of both lectures and structured discussion 

.around issues raised in the lectures. Students will occasionally be asked to 

present a summary of the readings for discussion. Tutorials will consist of 

a discussion of the readings in the first part of the term and a series of 

periiiental exercises in the second part of the term. 

ecures: 10:30 - 11:30, Mondays and Wednesdays. 

Tutorials: Group 1--11:3() - 12:30, Monday. 

Group 2--12:3() - 1:30, Wednesday. 

As s 'nments: 

Students will be expected to write three critical essays (5 to 7 pages each) 

on specific topics that will be assigned in class. liach essay will count for 

20% of the final grade. In addition, a paper or project will be due at the 

end of the course and will coi..nt for 30% of the final grade. The remaining 

10% of the final grade will be based on student presentation of reading 

material and participation in class discussions and tutorials.
