IF SOCIAL ART HISTORY entails studying an artwork’s reception, few scholars have been so committed to this approach as Hannah Gadsby. Already in secondary school, at Launceston College near Tasmania’s northern coast, they developed a novel mode of discourse analysis.

Entirely cognizant of the fact that artists must be paid for their work, we’re offering prizes for the best submissions in nonfiction, fiction, poetry, and visual art. First place for nonfiction and fiction is $200; first place for poetry and visual art is $100. Second place for each category is $50. The Cascade’s “The Zine” is an idea that’s been tossed around for some time now. What it’ll take form as is a tri-annual, semester-end edition of The Cascade’s regular weekly paper, featuring UFV students’ short stories, graphic designs, non-academic ess...
