Cormier, Matthew. "The Destruction of Nationalism in Twenty-First Century Canadian Apocalyptic Fiction." American, British and Canadian Studies 35, no. 1 (December 1, 2020): 5–22. http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/abcsj-2020-0014.

Abstract:

Abstract This article argues that, since the turn of the twenty-first century, fiction in Canada – whether by English-Canadian, Québécois, or Indigenous writers – has seen a re-emergence in the apocalyptic genre. While apocalyptic fiction also gained critical attention during the twentieth century, this initial wave was tied to disenfranchised, marginalized figures, excluded as failures in their attempts to reach a promised land. As a result, fiction at that time – and perhaps equally so in the divided English-Canadian and Québécois canons – was chiefly a (post)colonial, nationalist project. Yet, apocalyptic fiction in Canada since 2000 has drastically changed. 9/11, rapid technological advancements, a growing climate crisis, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission: these changes have all marked the fictions of Canada in terms of futurities. This article thus examines three novels – English-Canadian novelist Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven (2014), Indigenous writer Thomas King’s The Back of the Turtle (2014), and Québécois author Nicolas Dickner’s Apocalypse for Beginners (2010) – to discuss the ways in which they work to bring about the destruction of nationalism in Canada through the apocalyptic genre and affectivity to envision new futures.

Abstract:

Critical thinking about the English-Canadian and Quebec cinemas has focused lo a large degree on the realist tendencies of our fiction filmmaking-tendencies, it is argued, which fiction filmaking has, historically inherited from Canadian documentary film practices. But in recent fiction filmmaking, Canadian filmmakers have moved beyond social realism. Indeed, the emergence in English-Canada and Quebec of filmmaking that is metafictional and pararealist — in films like Léa Pool's La Femme de l'hôtel, Bruce McDonald's Roadkill and Patricia Rozema's White Room — gives us occasion not only to rethink the criteria that have been used to identify "canonic" film, but more importantly to see how these self-conscious fictional strategies, which initially seem to reject the norms of social realism, are in fact part of an ongoing re-examination of the limits of fiction.

Abstract:

English-speaking science fiction readers were impressed by Elizabeth Bear’s Jenny Casey trilogy when it appeared in 2005. Along with the high quality of the novels, Hammered, Scardown and Worldwired, the American author surprised her public by a number of features that distinguishes this trilogy from most recent American science fiction. The aim of this article is to examine two of these features more closely: Bear’s combination and revision of certain earlier science fiction genres and her depiction of a world of 2062 in which Canada and not the USA has the leading role in space exploration and global conflicts. The article uses both a comparative examination of science fiction genres and a qualitative analysis of those aspects of Canada that Bear chooses to highlight. American space fiction tends to be nationalistic, but the USA of 2062 is shown as suffering from ecological disasters that its weak and divided society cannot deal with. Canada, on the other hand, though not an ideal society, successfully upholds values like moderation, and is still able to rely on the loyalty of very different kinds of characters.

Abstract:

The myth that Canada has resisted the “West’s populist wave” persists despite evidence that demonstrates otherwise. This article traces how the assumption that Canada has avoided the rise of right-wing populism and white nationalism is tethered to the fiction that Canada has been a raceless society. After briefly reviewing the myth of racelessness and the history of right-populism in Canada, the article explores how the Reform Party of Canada conceptualized “the people” in racialized terms. This article examines how the Conservative Party of Canada’s appeals to symbolic “diversity” and denial of systemic oppression have enabled more overt forms of racism. By examining the recent rise of hate crimes, this article makes the case that a direct link can be traced between the Conservative government’s seemingly neutral discourses about the preservation of Canadian “heritage” and “common values” and the re-emergence of right-wing populism and the re-emboldening of white nationalism in Canada. El mito de que Canadá ha resistido la “ola populista de Occidente” perdura a pesar de que se puede demostrar lo contrario. Este artículo expone que la aceptación generalizada de que Canadá ha evitado el auge del populismo de derechas y del nacionalismo blanco está unida a la ficción de que Canadá ha sido una sociedad sin razas. Tras repasar brevemente el mito de la ausencia de razas y la historia del populismo de derechas en Canadá, el artículo explora cómo el Partido Reformista de Canadá conceptualizó “el pueblo” en términos racializados, y examina cómo las apelaciones del Partido Conservador de Canadá a la “diversidad” simbólica y su negación de cualquier opresión sistemática han permitido formas más abiertas de racismo. Al analizar el aumento reciente de crímenes de odio, el artículo argumenta que se puede hallar un nexo directo entre el discurso aparentemente neutral del gobierno conservador sobre la defensa del “patrimonio” y los “valores comunes” de Canadá y el resurgimiento del populismo de derechas y el reforzamiento del nacionalismo blanco en Canadá.

Abstract:

Through its play on the limits of fictional genre which underlines the constructedness of genre categories, The Wives of Bath envisages gender itself as an arbitrary construct. Through a series of inversions, crossings and diverse literary encodings the textual strategies at work in the narrative not only problematize the notion of literary genres, they also point to gender itself as a “fiction”. But The Wives of Bath goes further ; through its playing on the boundaries of representation, and its playing with categories of gender, it ironizes any possible unitary narrative of Canada’s national space. As Barbara Godard has stated, Canada as imaginary construct is the “Discourse of the Other”. The Wives of Bath seems, through its strategies, to bear out this statement ; that Canada breaks through any holistic version of nationhood itself, any containment in a “genre”.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a work of creative fiction accompanied by a critical/reflective essay. The dissertation is a novel (Be There First Thing) comprising thirteen chapters, each in the style of a short story, that give glimpses into the life of the protagonist, Lily Sled, beginning when she is eleven-years-old and ending when she is near thirty-years old. The first seven of these chapters are set in southern Ontario, Canada, while the last six are set in and around Swansea, Wales, employing a juxtaposition of place and the theme of the foreigner via linguistic and cultural similarities. The structure of this novel is similar to a Composite Novel, as it consists of story-like chapters, yet these stories are not autonomous, thus it is more closely aligned with the Bildungsroman genre, employing the technique of vignettes to illustrate the coming of age of the protagonist, while functioning as a novel of development. The accompanying essay seeks to analyse both the writing process and the literary significance of the novel itself.

Abstract:

The war novel is a significant genre in twentieth-century Canadian fiction. Central to that genre has been the soldier’s narrative. Canadian war novelists have often situated the soldier’s story in opposition to how war has functioned in Canadian cultural memory, which usually posits war as a necessary, though brutal, galvanizing force. This dissertation on how novelists depict the Canadian soldier represents a crucial opportunity to examine Canadian cultures of militarization and how Canadian identity has been formed in close identification with the mutable figure of the soldier. The most sophisticated Canadian war novels engage with how militarism functions as a grand narrative in Canadian society, while enabling Canadians to speak about issues related to war that tend to be over-simplified or elided. This dissertation examines emblematic Canadian war novels – The Imperialist by Sara Jeanette Duncan, Generals Die in Bed by Charles Yale Harrison, Turvey by Earle Birney, Execution by Colin McDougall, The Wars by Timothy Findley, Broken Ground by Jack Hodgins, The Stone Carvers by Jane Urquhart, etc. – in order to trace how the representation of the Canadian soldier has shifted throughout the twentieth-century. Canadian war novels are culturally cathartic exercises wherein received notions of Canadian moral and military superiority can be safely questioned. The Canadian soldier, often characterized in official discourse as the personification of duty and sacrifice, has been reimagined by war novelists throughout the twentieth century as a site of skepticism and resistance. In many Canadian war novels, the soldier affords the opportunity to claim counter-histories, reject master narratives, and posit new originary myths.

Abstract:

While writing in English by Hispanas has been in publication for decades, it is only in the last few years that the writing and its attendant criticism have attracted mainstream attention in the United States. The purpose of this work is to provide an introduction to different facets of Hispana writing. The first section of the work, an essay titled, "Emerging Criticism and Themes in Hispana Literature," provides an up-dated overview of issues within Hispana literary criticism and major themes within the writing itself. The latter part of that essay uses as its framework Tey Diana Rebolledo's 1985 essay, "The Maturing of Chicana Poetry: the Quiet Revolution of the 1980's." The second section of the work consists of four original short stories which reflect some of the general characteristics of Hispana writing. Together, the two parts are intended to provide Canadian scholars with a succinct introduction to this growing field, and thus aid and encourage them to further explore it on their own.

Abstract:

This thesis, consisting of a novel and dissertation, explores the writing of historical fiction, and the use of photography as research in visualising the several settings that the characters inhabit. As the novel is set in the late 19th century, the conventions of Victorian-era photography came to the forefront of the research. The story sees two fictional brothers leave their home on Vancouver Island in Canada, each traveling alone, and each with a different weight on his heart. They find themselves in towns with very real, and very documented, histories, and this is where my research into photography began. Joseph Richard, the younger brother, finds work in the town of Yale, on the Fraser River in British Columbia during the early days of the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Yale was a boomtown and major depot during railway construction, and there are many photographs from the 1880s to chronicle its buildings and denizens, its remote and wild surroundings, its place in history.
