Abstract:
This analysis of a recent example of a Canadian adventure novel, Richard Scrimger’s Into the Ravine, is informed by a comparison to a nineteenth-century adventure novel, James De Mille’s The “B. O. W. C.”: A Book for Boys. I examine the development of the relationship between wilderness and domestic spaces and the ideological imperatives of the genre. As the locus of adventure moves from “real” wilderness spaces to the domesticated spaces of ravine and suburb, I suggest that play replaces survival as the ideological subtexts of young adult fiction. For the boys of contemporary Canadian adventu

Abstract:
This article examines the works of Haitian-Québécois writer Marie-Célie Agnant within the framework of a social justice-oriented French curriculum. Situating Agnant’s contributions within the evolving discourse on critical pedagogy in world language education, it highlights Agnant’s engagement with themes of power and oppression within and beyond the Haitian diaspora context, demonstrating how her texts reveal systemic injustices tied to gender, race, immigration, and linguistic identity. The analysis extends beyond Agnant’s well-studied adult novels to her young adult literature and short sto

Abstract:
Canadian novelist Rudy Wiebe's award-winning memoir, of this earth: A Mennonite Boyhood in the Boreal Forest (2006), invites readers into a warm subjective realm in which a meditative Wiebe (b. 1934) recounts his growing-up years from birth to age thirteen. As self-reflexive "rememberer," Wiebe explores the sensate freshness of a boy's ways of seeing, touching, and, not least, hearing the world. The young Wiebe lives with his parents and siblings and neighbours in an emotionally warm Christian community of 1920s immigrants to Canada who have fled from the Soviet Union in the wake of the 1917 R

Abstract:
The present study overviews Canadian science fiction for children and young adults in its early history. Canada’s multiculturalism is a great resource for diversity on their literary works, but at the same time, it often turns into concerns on their national identity. Canadian novels portray this unique trait in their stories with three major features. By contrasting the technology-dominated society with the nature-friendly one, they ultimately aim for an idyllic society. Also, the works express distrust of technology and progress with concerns about negative effects on the global environment.

(See Figure 1.) English Radicals and Whigs, with some Canadian allies, promoted a broad-ranging reconstruction of colonial government and legal and cultural institutions.

This study explores Canadian cultural identity in a selection of contemporary realistic dark-themed Canadian Young Adult (YA) fiction: The Lottery by Beth Goobie, The Space Between by Don Aker, The Beckoners by Carrie Mac, and Swimming in the Monsoon Sea by Shyam Selvadurai. Using close reading, these adolescent novels are analyzed for the “bleak” themes of disillusionment and isolation. The themes are compared to corresponding trends in American YA literature, including self-reflection, ambiguous endings, the role of violence, absent parents, and the forms of the socially and psychologically

Using the lens of ecocriticism, this thesis focuses on the literary portrayal of nature in three contemporary realistic Canadian young adult novels: Mistik Lake by Martha Brooks, The Lightkeeper’s Daughter by Iain Lawrence, and The Uninvited by Tim Wynne-Jones.

As such, this research takes a green cultural-studies approach and draws upon sources from environmentalist crit

Abstract : In this thesis, I explore the kids-take-charge (KTC) motif within recent school stories produced for young adult audiences, situated in terms of a genealogy of school stories. The corpus of school stories includes English- and French-language works produced as fiction, film, or life-writing, both for teens and adults in Canada, the US, and the UK. This thesis identifies the historical and ideological shifts that may have given rise to the motif. School stories lend themselves to the identification of some of the distinct models of selfhood and ‘coming into one’s ow

Abstract:
Landscape is a fact of Canadian life. Regardless of where one lives in Canada, the presence and images of countless trees, mountains, farms, snow drifts, or wildlife is never far from thought. In human geography, which studies the relationship between people and their surroundings, landscape is considered a cultural construct. How landscape is used and how it is perceived is culturally representative of the culture in which it exists. In much Canadian literature, the vast Canadian landscape defines Canada as a nation. Canadian realistic fiction for young adults often uses the Canadian la

Abstract:
Abstract All war novels must cope to a certain extent with the notion of payment: is war worth it? Ernest Hemingway’s novel Fiesta (or The Sun Also Rises, 1927), a novel about the effects of the First World War, chronicles the narrator’s gradual despairing abandonment of the concept of fair payment for anything. This is only an extreme example of the disillusionment and dissatisfaction expressed in American First World War fiction that had been exacerbated by America’s late entry into the war, itself the subject of intensive and misleading propaganda. This late entry had forced into foreign ar
