He supported me in stressful times and patiently helped me to sort out my ideas about and reflections on Canadian literature. He introducing me to the vast field of First Nations literature, shared his insights and provided me with his advice and encouragements to develop the skills necessary for literary analysis.

I also wish to address special thanks to Prof. Misao Dean from the University of Victoria for letting me join some inspiring discussions in her ‘Core Seminar on Literatures of the West Coast’, which gave me the opportunity to exchange ideas with other students working in the field of Canadian literature. Lastly, I warmly thank my parents Dr. Hubert and Anna Zinöcker for their devoted emotional support and advice, and for sharing their knowledge and experience with me throughout my education.

  • Université De Montréal “The Hybridity of Violence: Location, Dislocation
    Université de Montréal “The Hybridity of Violence: Location, Dislocation, and Relocation in Contemporary Canadian Multicultural and Indigenous Writing” par: Maude Lapierre Études anglaises, faculté des arts et des sciences Thèse présentée à la faculté des arts et des sciences en vue de l’obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D) Décembre, 2012 ©, Maude Lapierre, 2012 Résumé : Cette thèse explore la relation entre les littératures autochtones et multiculturelles du Canada. Même si les critiques littéraires examinent les littératures dites mineures de plus en plus, ces dernières sont rarement étudiées sans la présence médiatrice de la littérature canadienne considérée comme étant dominante. Afin de produire une telle analyse, cette thèse mobilise le concept d’hybridité en tant que catégorie d’analyse de texte qui, en plus de son histoire raciale et coloniale, décrit convenablement les formes d’expérimentations stylistiques que les écrivains autochtones et multiculturels emploient afin de représenter et questionner leur marginalisation. Ne voulant pas reproduire les interprétations fétichistes qui réduisent les littératures autochtones et multiculturelles à leurs représentations de concepts d’altérité, j’examine ces textes dans leurs relations avec différents discours et débats ayant marqué les études littéraires canadiennes, notamment, le long poème canadien, l’écriture des prairies canadiennes, la littérature urbaine, le multiculturalisme, et les premières nations. Ma méthode d’analyse repose sur la façon dont chaque texte étudié alimente ces catégories d’analyse littéraire tout en les modifiant radicalement. De plus, je développe un cadre conceptuel et théorique permettant l’étude de la relation entre les textes autochtones et multiculturels sans toutefois confondre ou réduire les contextes d’où proviennent ces littératures.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    SCIENCE IMAGINED | LITERATURE REALIZED: TRUTH AND FICTION IN CANADA by Marc André Fortin A thesis submitted to the Department of English In conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (January, 2012) Copyright © Marc André Fortin, 2012 Abstract In Canada, writers of long fiction have recently begun to employ representations of science and to use scientific theories to construct narratives that investigate issues of class, race, sexuality, faith, truth and the ontological understanding of human existence. This turn towards science in creative works of art suggests that scientific discourse in the early twenty-first century has become a space from which to respond to questions about the search for truth after the rise of poststructuralist theory and postmodern culture. My work investigates this recent turn towards science in contemporary Canadian literature as a way of reevaluating the idea that science is associated with a teleological movement towards human progress, and to analyze how scientific representations re-imagine faith and ethics from a secular perspective. The recent shift towards science in the literature of Canada in English suggests a questioning of social conditions which place the human within epistemological spectrums between truth and fiction, faith and reason, and the individual and the universal. In my dissertation questions related to belief and truth are bound up in a cross-textual study that looks at how Canadian literature reevaluates important debates among

Her name was Aloha Wanderwell. The project was foolhardy in the extreme. Drivable roads were scarce and the cars themselves — about as powerful as today’s ride-on mowers — were alien in much of the world. To overcome these limitations, the Wanderwell Expedition created a specially modified Model T Ford that featured rubber tires, steel disc wheels, gun scabbards, and a sloped back that could fold out to become a darkroom. Thus equipped, Aloha set out to see the world. All that remained was learning how to drive. Aloha’s name and adventures became known around the world. Tall, graceful, and beautiful, she was photographed in front of the Eiffel Tower, in the salt caverns of Poland, parked on the back of the Sphinx, firing mortars in China, visiting American fliers in Calcutta, meeting the prince regent of Japan, shaking hands with Mussolini, smiling through a tickertape parade in Detroit. She was an inspiration to thousands. As it turns out, the famous Aloha Wanderwell was an invention. The American Aloha Wanderwell was, in reality, the Canadian Idris Hall. And her mentor, the dashing filmmaker, lecturer, polyglot, and world traveller Captain Walter Wanderwell, was an invention himself.

[00:00:40] Autumn Which doesn't happen often. But it does happen. [00:00:45] Kendra Yes. I fell in love hard and fast for Miriam Toews when I read ALL MY PUNY SORROWS, and then even more so with WOMEN TALKING. And so Jacqueline and I went and found all of her books in paperback in the matching Canadian editions because we're that extra. But also very much in love. And they actually are downstairs as a display talking piece in my living room. [00:01:09] Autumn And then they proceeded to double-team me into abandoning my TBR and picking this one up. [00:01:16] Kendra Yes. So we are so excited to talk to Miriam Toews today about WOMEN TALKING, which is her latest novel, which came out this past spring. It is fabulous. So Miriam Toews has written so many other novels.

The short stories, excerpts from novels and memoirs, and several personal essays, were written at points in these women’s lives when they were looking out to and at the world around them. They were facing a traditional world confronting moder- nity: family life during a tumultuous period when parental authority was chal- lenged by political and social movements; sexual awakening during a profound revolutionary period in Europe; longings for independence, education, and cre- ative, artistic expression; the conflicted entry of Yiddish-speaking women into the modern world, beyond the restrictions of traditional Jewish life; the Holocaust and “These are vibrant women, and its aftermath, and adjustment after immigration. their writings should not be read To date, the major anthologies of Yiddish prose in translation have con- only as something from the past, centrated on popular male writers and excluded not only fiction by women but something important to our but their memoirs and other prose writing as well.
