Gilbert's family is donating his books and comics to the University of Alberta libraries. The libraries staff are thrilled because Gilbert was interested in areas that they want to strengthen.

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!
