Any and all suggestions are welcome!
We (the head of acquisitions, Gilbert's family, Ray and me) agreed that the collection should have a name of some kind. So I'm looking to you for suggestions. Here's what the collection consists of:
- comics (floppies, TPBs, graphic novels and books about comics)
- visual art (with a concentration on contemporary postmodern art and artists, including Canadian artists)
- contemporary philosophy and literary criticism, especially (post-)poststructuralist and postmodern
- books about pop culture, like television
- film, including horror
- horror novels
- contemporary Canadian poetry
- brain science
- folklore
- classics and new histories of classical Greek and Roman periods
- architecture and design
- contemporary literature
I think that describes the major categories in his collection. We were thinking of using terms like: postmodern, graphic [something], visual culture, pop literature.
Here's what I've thought of so far:
- The Gilbert Bouchard Collection of Postmodernism, Visual Culture and Pop Literature
- The Gilbert Bouchard Collection of Visual and Pop Ideas
- Inside Gilbert Bouchard's Brain [I don't think his family will go for this one!]
- The Gilbert Bouchard Collection of Comics, Text and Ideas
- The Gilbert Bouchard Collection of Words, Pictures and Ideas
- The Gilbert Bouchard Collection of Visual Culture, Pop Print and Postmodern Ideas
Any and all suggestions are welcome!
