Dr. Hayward will deliver a lecture entitled “Media Infrastructure and Multicultural Media, 1965-1985”.
Histories of media and diversity in Canada have typically focused on the relationship between representation and identity. Rather than focusing on their role in the creation and maintenance of collective identity, this presentation advocates for greater attention to be paid to the importance of distribution when documenting the development of multicultural media in Canada. Through a discussion of the transition of film to television and home video, I will discuss some of the ways that an examination of multicultural media during this period calls for a reconsideration of presumptions about the periodization of different media forms as well as the relationship between diasporic media entrepreneurs and the Canadian state.
