Our goal is to publish the best of graduate, postgraduate and recent graduate essays and dissertations, presenting the pluralism of research within arts and culture and a forum for scholarly discourse. Engaging a transdisciplinary perspective, the CMA Journal encompasses contemporary concerns with a focus on visual arts and art history, cinema and moving-image studies, performance studies, and studies of computer-based arts. We welcome experimental and creative writing, works-in-progress, collaborations and lively debates that are critically engaged in the ever-shifting range and scope of the fields of critical and cultural studies.</font></span></p><p class="ParaAttribute0" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;"><font face="Times New Roman"><span class="CharAttribute5"><span lang="EN-CA"><b>ISSUE TWO: TERRITORY</b></span></span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><font face="Times New Roman"><span class="CharAttribute6"><span lang="EN-CA">Territory can convey belonging, ownership and familiarity; land, zones, expanses and boundaries that delineate, encompass and separate space and place. Territory can be inclusive or exclusive, public or private. How do we move through a territory - easily and self-assured? Timidly? Dangerously? The notion of territory is at once individual and collective, representing both visible and invisible boundaries weaving throughout our lives. It exists in myriad forms, constructed through connections; minute and macroscopic. Through the primacy of our bodies Territory is created, shattered, redrawn and recreated as we grow, develop, move, embody and interact with others and with our surrounding environment. The commons, a space of inclusivity where the people can converge, is public territory. Spaces in which to gather, rally, riot. Whose territory is this? Territory includes the interstitial spaces, alleyways and right-of-ways; no-person’s-land. Entering new territory can evoke a sense of adventure, exploration, self-awareness, personal development. Territory is uncharted, encroached upon, contested and occupied. They overlap and collide, extending into realms of culture, sexuality, and religion. Territory are lines drawn on a map, the path of a river, a habitat, a title; a jurisdiction, a political subdivision; a nation, a state, a province. The City of Vancouver takes up and takes over the unceded traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
