Dr. Carol Payne, Associate Professor of Art History in the School for Studies in Art and Culture, will deliver the spring 2014 edition of CU in the City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Payne will discuss the findings of her new book, The Official Picture: The National Film Board of Canada\u2019s Still Photography Division and the Image of Canadian Nationhood, 1941-1971<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NFB Still Photography Division was the country\u2019s official photographer during the mid-twentieth century producing a governmentally endorsed portrait of the nation, an \u2018official picture\u2019 of Canada. Though long overshadowed by the NFB\u2019s cinematic productions, Division photographers shot some of this country\u2019s most dynamic media photographs of the time and sought to foster a sense of national cohesion. Millions of Canadians (and international audiences) saw Division photographs in newspapers, magazines, and the Board\u2019s own books, exhibitions, and filmstrips. Across that history, the Division used promotional photographs to promote Canadian identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CU in the City<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of CU in the City is to share research from Carleton University’s (CU) Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) with the Ottawa community by holding lectures in various neighbourhoods across the city. The CU in the City series will provide opportunities for FASS faculty and students to interact with one another off campus as well as strengthen ties between FASS and the general public. A friendly question and answer session follows all CU in the City talks. We hope to CU in the City<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
