Despite of Landscape

Authors

  • Nazli Akhtari University of Waterloo

Abstract

In “Unruly Sites, Bewildering Buildings, Angry Cities: A Wayward Walk,” Katrina Dunn takes her readers on a stroll through five decades of spatial thinking in Canadian Theatre Review, a journal established in 1974, just seven years after Canada removed racial barriers to immigration in 1967 to maintain its population and labour force. Along the way, Dunn offers a densely signposted narrative about past debates on space pulled together from this archive of Canadian theatre.
