13. No Place for the State: The Origins and Legacies of the 1969 Omnibus Bill

Abstract

“There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation,” Pierre Elliott Trudeau told reporters. He was making the case for the most controversial of his proposed reforms to the Criminal Code, those concerning homosexuality, birth control, and abortion. In No Place for the State, contributors offer complex and often contrasting perspectives as they assess how the 1969 Omnibus Bill helped shape sexual and moral politics in Canada. Fifty years later, the origins and legacies of the bill are equivocal and the state still seems interested in sexual regulation. This incisive study explains why that matters.

35. THE ART OF HISTORY.

Abstract

What did Canadian history lose when many of its most committed practitioners - historians working in universities - largely turned away from ideas about the art and craft of historical writing? This article suggests that the loss was both profound and complicated. Tracing the turn away from artful inspiration to professional and political commitments to make history more inclusive, this article wonders whether the results have not been ironically to make history less inviting to non-specialists and non-believers. Perhaps a truly inclusive history needs to make history as much about art as argumentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
