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. Y

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 reth

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 a

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

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

This article employs the lens of Afrofuturism to address the Underground Railroad, detailing what imagination, tact, and technology, it took for fugitive Blacks to flee to the “outer spaces of slavery.” Black enslavement was as terrifying as any exotic fictional tale, but it happened to real humans alienated in the “peculiar institution.” Escaping slavery brought dreams to life, and at times must have felt like “magical realism,” or an out-of-body experience, and the American North, Canada, Mexico, Africa, Europe, and free Caribbean islands were otherworldly and science fiction-like, in contra

Gwethalyn Graham’s second novel, Earth and High Heaven, which appeared later that year, launched an analysis of anti-Semitism that was quickly embraced by cultural arbiters and the general public in both Canada and the United States.

The title of Alice Munro’s Who do you think you are? could just as easily be asked of Canada, without eliciting an easy answer. In ethnic, linguistic, even geographical terms, Canada is hardly homogeneous. Because of this, we can only dream of a unified identity; we are, as Leonard Cohen writes in Beautiful Losers, condemned to “nightmares of identity.” If Canada is too complex for a uniform national identity, one derived from a convenient mythology and distilled into simple symbols, it often seems we have yet to realize it. We long for a mythology, even a modern, and blatantly constructed one

While the primary cause of food insecurity for children is inadequate household income, often due to systemic inequities, most children’s fiction sugge

These patterns appear in diverse cultural and historical contexts, as exemplified by Auguste Lazar's Jan auf der Zille [Jan on the barge] (1934/1950), Richard Scrimger's Into the Ravine (2007), and Davi

Abstract:

Saskatchewan must have the highest number of produced and published playwrights per capita of any province in Canada. Playwrights such as Connie Gault, Kim Morrissey, Barbara Sapergia, Dianne Warren, Rod MacIntyre, Ken Mitchell, Archie Crail, Geoffrey Ursell, (until fairly recently) Rex Deverell, and (until even more recently) Greg Nelson, among others, have graced Saskatchewan with their habitation. Many of these playwrights are also accomplished in other genres and now Guy Vanderhaeghe, celebrated for his prose fiction, has joined their number by adding playwriting to his substantial abiliti

Abstract:

Résumé Pendant la deuxième moitié du xix e siècle, la fiction populaire française, sous la forme du roman-feuilleton, envahit les colonnes de la presse périodique. Le clergé catholique québécois, qui tente d’exercer un contrôle sur la lecture en général, s’inquiète de la moralité de cette littérature de divertissement. Si la plupart des rédacteurs font lire et corriger leurs textes littéraires avant de les publier, les dirigeants de Canada-Revue, eux, refusent d’emboîter le pas. La condamnation du périodique par l’évêque de Montréal constitue un cas d’espèce, qui n’empêchera pas les feuilleton

Abstract:

Cet article montre que si la fiction québécoise réussit à franchir les frontières linguistiques et culturelles et à se créer un espace de réception dans les champs littéraires espagnol et catalan – et ce malgré les nombreux obstacles à la diffusion d’une littérature minoritaire – c’est grâce à l’action d’acteurs institutionnels associés au gouvernement fédéral canadien et au gouvernement provincial québécois. Un tel investissement est motivé par le fait que la traduction littéraire est considérée comme un outil au service de la diplomatie culturelle qui sert à construire une « image de marque

Abstract:

This paper looks to Haisla-Heiltsuk writer Eden Robinson’s short story “Terminal Avenue” (2004) as a literary example of what Canada’s future might look like if the collectively felt anxiety that underpins settler society remains unchecked. I analyze “Terminal Avenue” as a work of speculative fiction that represents what I term the genre’s “ideology of indeterminacy” as a politically productive condition under which Indigenous/settler relations in contemporary Canada can be reassessed. My analysis builds on the work of settler scholars David M. Higgins and Conrad Scott published in Extrapolati

Abstract On June 28, 1832, Nathaniel Hawthorne penned a letter to Franklin Pierce describing plans for a Northern tour through New York into Canada, a trip that he was forced to postpone due to the 1832 cholera outbreak in Montreal. Hawthorne intended to gather tales for The Story Teller on this ill-timed trip, but the trip was never made and the collection of interlinked traveling tales never published. The author of this note paper considers the cholera epidemic's impact on Hawthorne's writing life and how it reverberates through her own writing of historical fiction during the 2020 coronavi

Diaspora fiction deals with the issues of two different social milieus having discriminating margins, disintegration or combination of cultures and is also lingers over the related feelings such as nostalgia, loneliness, alienation, existential rootlessness, homelessness, quest of identity, protest, assertions and questioning etc. Rohinton Mistry is one such writer who is well known for his depiction of these psycho-sociological problems by the emigrants and immigrants.

Abstract:

Perhaps the most tragic story from the Franklin expedition of 1819–1822 was the murder of Robert Hood, a talented midshipman who left a number of watercolours of the trip and of the peoples and fauna encountered (Houston 1974; Franklin 2000). The story even became the basis for a novel that won the annual Governor General of Canada's prize for fiction in 1994 for the Alberta writer, Rudy Wiebe (Wiebe 1994). The expedition undertook a desperately difficult trek that saw only nine survivors of the original twenty members, but it resulted in the first map of 800 km (500 miles) of the northern cen
