CIUS Seminar Audio.<br /><br />Lisa Efimov-Schneider, currently a Ph.D. candidate in Russian Literature at the University of Toronto, gave a talk entitled, "Emma Andijewska's Roman pro dobru liudynu : The Displaced Persons Camp as Purgatory." <br /><br /> In Andijewska's Roman, the Displaced Persons camp is introduced first in its historic sense — a place signifying political and physical-geographic displacement—but then is extended to represent a state of total psychic disturbance. Supported by a complex narrative mode in which semantic and symbolic confusion is deliberately created, Andij ewska suspends all standard literary expectations and judging mechanisms for the characters in the novel as well as for the reader. Social distinctions (intellectualism vs. simplicity); moral values; chronologically linear development; the distinction between dreams, visions, and reality; the efficacy of logical, as opposed to supernatural or irrational, explanations— all of these are eliminated. This allows for an investigation of the quality "goodness" which is entirely uninhibited and unqualified. Suspension of standards of judgment makes each event within the world of the camp equally meaningful in the growth process of its primary heroes; this compels the reader to pay equal attention to the minutae of detail and to the supposed "main events" in recognizing "the good person."<br /><br /> The symbol of purgatory is a useful one in characterizing the D.P. camp condition depicted by Andij ewska. Like the camp world, the purgatorial state is one within which rites of passage take place, eventually admitting a person into a better world. These rites, or developmental stages, are alike in both camp and purgatory because they are stripped of any socially defined elements, and have to do only with the inner moral growth of each separate personality.<br /><br />Found in <a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">CIUS </a><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;"><a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 2 (Spring 1979)</a> </span>

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2.<br /><br />Michael Savaryn, a law student at the University of Alberta, delivered the sixth Institute seminar in Edmonton on January 16 with the presentation, "The Response of the Ukrainian Canadians to the Displaced Persons Situation in Europe". He examined the responses in Edmonton's<em> Ukrainski Visti</em> , edited by the late John Esaiw. The speaker quoted from a number of editorials which both appealed to Ukrainian Canadians for funds, clothing and other supplies, and pleaded with the Canadian Government to allow largescale immigration of Ukrainian refugees to Canada.<br /><br /> Research on the life of the Ukrainians, who scattered throughout Western Europe after World War II in terrible fear of forced deportation to the Soviet Union, is scarce. Little is known about the number, qualifications, and plans of the refugees, and there is little evidence about how many were in fact deported, and how many managed to find their relatives or refuge in different countries. However, one fact is clear: their fate evoked a great deal of sympathy from Ukrainian Canadians, who even visited them in the Displaced Persons camps. The late Anthony Hlynka, a Ukrainian M.P. from Vegreville, Alberta, spoke on their behalf in the House of Commons. The actual amounts of money, clothing, food, affidavits, etc., raised by Ukrainian Canadians for their countrymen is not known, and it is time to research this subject. Indeed, it is time to record the experience of the post- World War II Ukrainian immigration generally, for the history of the Ukrainian Canadians without this chapter would be incomplete.<br /><br />Found in <a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">CIUS </a><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;"><a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 2 (Spring 1979)</a> </span>
