Abstract:

In January 1944, when the influential Toronto critic William Arthur Deacon lamented the absence of a Canadian “equivalent of ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’” because Canadians are “still pioneering, still afraid of ourselves intellectually and emotionally,”[1] little did he know that a significant candidate was on the horizon. 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. This essay situates the production and reception

Abstract:

This article intends to investigate the narration of historical facts under new perspectives trough the novel Obasan, from the Japanese-Canadian author Joy Kogawa. The choice of the mentioned novel is due to the fact that it enables the observation of the manners the concepts of identity, memory and representation interact to portray new representations of a determined people by the reinterpretation of historical facts. Throughout the article it will be analyzed the varied narrative strategies Joy Kogawa employs to represent new versions of facts related to Japanese Canadians and their internm

Abstract:

"Wilderness" is a concept which has undergone a radical change in recent years. Owing to the scale of global destruction of the wilderness and its various ecosystems, the idea of wilderness has been transformed from its original negative sense as an Other into a matter of public concern. This as replaced the understanding of "wilderness " not only as a place but as a category closely linked with the development of buman culture. As the result of human practice and representation, nature is thus also political Models and concepts of nature in the creative arts can be indicative of a certain cul

Abstract:

This paper is an attempt to explore the ecological issues in Margaret Atwood’s novels. She happens to raise her voices against the demolition of the forests, advocating very strongly to pay attention to ecological principles for the preservation of the environment for the future generation. She tends to express her deep sense of anxiety over the ecological issues as depicted in The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) and again in the stories and fables of Wilderness Tips (1991) and Good Bones (1992). Her novel – Surfacing (1972) begins and ends with the forest starting like a detective story. Her most sign

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:

From a fictional as well as a theoretical point of view, the present interest in travel is a consequence of the increasing relevance of postcolonial discourses and the ongoing processes of cultural transference and globalisation. These phenomena have resulted in a re-conceptualisation of notions of identity, location, place and site, which foster, in turn, the rethinking of terms like home, margin and periphery. Most of these have been targeted by post-structuralist and postcolonial theories in their attempt at disrupting unified and imperialist conceptions of subjectivity and place. In Canadi

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:

This article explores the hemispheric and transatlantic uses of race and empire as tropes of settler-colonial otherness in the novelThe Canadian Brothers(1840) by Canadian author John Richardson. In this pre-Confederation historical novel, Richardson contrasts the imperial British discourse of racial tolerance, and the British military alliances with the Natives in the War of 1812, with the brutality of American Indian policies south of the border, in an effort to craft a narrative of Canadian difference from, and incompatibility with, American culture. At the same time, the author's critical

L’article se penche sur la réécriture et l’amplification du roman de Jean Vaillancourt Les Canadiens errants (1954) que constitue le roman de Richard Hétu, Rendez-vous à l’Étoile (2006). Les distorsions observées dans la reprise du roman de 1954 par le roman de 2006, la contextualisation à laquelle donne lieu la transformation de Jean Vaillancourt en personnage de fiction, de même que l’expansion que prend dans Rendez-vous à l’Étoile la figure, pourtant discrète dans Les Canadiens errants, d’Ernest Hemingway permettent de lire le roman de Richard Hétu comme une tentative de restituer une intel

Abstract:

To understand how manufacturer-imposed restrictions on repair can affect people’s daily lives, consider a grain farmer, Alex,* with a family farm 150 kilometres north of Brandon, Manitoba. When agricultural equipment needs routine maintenance or repair, Alex faces the difficult choice of whether to do the repairs or call the manufacturer-authorized repairer to fix the equipment, a costly appointment that may require a wait of days or weeks, which is especially problematic during planting or harvest seasons. It’s not a question of repair skills, as Alex is an experienced mechanic who routinely
