DESCRIPTION:Join MISC at 4:00 pm on Monday\, November 17th at the Faculty C
 lub (3450 McTavish Street) for the 2025 Fall Eakin Lecture\, Robert Lepage
  and the ROC: Forty Years of Circulations\, by Jane Koustas.\n\nWith his c
 ollaborative effort “Circulations” staged in Toronto in 1985\, Lepage intr
 oduced Toronto to bi- or multilingual theatre that bypassed and transforme
 d the then-conventional notions of translation which place source and targ
 et languages\, audiences and cultures in binary opposition. This productio
 n that was “one third French\, one third English and one third movement”\,
  redefined or transgressed the traditional labels of québécois\, English-C
 anadian\, the Rest of Canada (ROC) or Other.\n\nLepage’s success in the RO
 C lies in his work’s power to negotiate difference and otherness\, not thr
 ough the depiction of conflict or division\, but through the imaginary and
  visual presentation of shared space and ideas\, and through the broadenin
 g and fusing of horizons. Unlike other destinations on his extensive globa
 l itinerary\, the ROC was a home away from home that recalled and played u
 pon Lepage’s own dual identity as québécois and Canadian while joining him
  on\, and benefitting from\, his global artistic and geographic journey\; 
 he staged the pulsation between familiarity and otherness.\n\nThe lecture 
 will be followed by a Q&A and reception. This event is free and open to pu
 blic\; registration is required via Eventbrite.\n\nThe Eakin Lecture serie
 s is organized bi-annually by the 51�Թ���Institute for the Study of Canada
 \, as a part of the Eakin Visiting Fellowship in Canadian Studies establis
 hed by the Eakin family in memory of William R. Eakin. The fellowships are
  awarded each term to active scholars whose research or teaching advances 
 Canadians Studies.\n\nJane Koustas is Professor Emerita of French at Brock
  University where she also directed Canadian Studies. She served as the Cr
 aig Dobbin Professor of Canadian Studies at University College Dublin. Kou
