This July, I will attend the International Jacques Ellul Society Conference at McGill University in Montreal. This year’s conference is entitled, “The Arts, Culture, and Environment in a Technological Society: Revisiting Jacques Ellul.”
The conference is preceded by a July 7 symposium: “Music and Antifascism: Reflections on the Past and Possibilities in the Present.” This symposium takes place at the Thomson House Ballroom, followed by a welcome event and a concert.

At 3:00pm on Friday, July 8, I will present the paper, “’The saddest songs are often the most beautiful’: The Secret Centrality of the Poetic in the Sociology of Jacques Ellul.” This presentation forms part of Session Three, “Artistic Practice Between Word and Image”.
I will also chair Session Six, “Potentials and Prospects of Culture and Technology,” at 1:00pm on Saturday, July 9.
The conference concludes on Sunday, July 10, with a 10:30am guided tour of the exhibition, “Feedback #6: Marshall McLuhan and the Arts” at Fonderie Darling, 745 Ottawa Street (near Old Montreal).
