  • Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature
    PAYING ATTENTION TO PUBLIC READERS OF CANADIAN LITERATURE: POPULAR GENRE SYSTEMS, PUBLICS, AND CANONS by KATHRYN GRAFTON BA, The University of British Columbia, 1992 MPhil, University of Stirling, 1994 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Kathryn Grafton, 2010 ABSTRACT Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature examines contemporary moments when Canadian literature has been canonized in the context of popular reading programs. I investigate the canonical agency of public readers who participate in these programs: readers acting in a non-professional capacity who speak and write publicly about their reading experiences. I argue that contemporary popular canons are discursive spaces whose constitution depends upon public readers. My work resists the common critique that these reading programs and their canons produce a mass of readers who read the same work at the same time in the same way. To demonstrate that public readers are canon-makers, I offer a genre approach to contemporary canons that draws upon literary and new rhetorical genre theory. I contend in Chapter One that canons are discursive spaces comprised of public literary texts and public texts about literature, including those produced by readers. I study the intertextual dynamics of canons through Michael Warner’s theory of publics and Anne Freadman’s concept of “uptake.” Canons arise from genre systems that are constituted to respond to exigencies readily recognized by many readers, motivating some to participate. I argue that public readers’ agency lies in the contingent ways they select and interpret a literary work while taking up and instantiating a canonizing genre.

    The Giller Prize (1994–2004) and Scotiabank Giller Prize (2005–2014): A Bibliography Andrew David Irvine* For the price of a meal in this town you can buy all the books. Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

  • Urban Archaeology in Michael Redhill's Toronto Novel Consolation
    Urban Archaeology in Michael Redhill’s Toronto Novel Consolation Meeria Vesala University of Tampere Faculty of Communication Sciences Master’s Programme in English Language and Literature MA Thesis May 2018 Tampereen yliopisto Viestintätieteiden tiedekunta Englannin kielen ja kirjallisuuden maisterikoulutus VESALA, MEERIA: Urban Archaeology in Michael Redhill’s Toronto Novel Consolation Pro Gradu -tutkielma, 117 sivua + lähdeluettelo Toukokuu 2018 Tutkielmani käsittelee urbaanin arkeologian tematiikkaa ja arkeologian metaforista sekä käsitteellistä merkitystä kanadalaisessa kaupunkikirjallisuudessa. Tutkimusaineistoni keskiössä on Michael Redhillin Torontoon sijoittuva historiallinen kaupunkiromaani Consolation (2006), jota analysoin ensisijaisesti kirjassa esitetyn tarinan ilmentämän tilallisuuden kautta. Romaanin tapahtumat eivät ole ainoastaan sidoksissa tiettyyn aikaan (1857/1997) ja paikkaan (Toronto), kuten kirjallisuudentutkimuksessa on usein tapana ymmärtää, vaan lähtökohtaisesti itse ympäristö tuottaa tilallisia tapahtumaketjuja, jotka ohjaavat kaupunkilaisten tottumuksia, tuntemuksia ja toimintaa eri elämänalueilla. Romaanin urbaani tila, miljoonakaupunki Ontario-järven rannalla, on havainnollistava esimerkki ajan ja paikan jatkuvasta yhteentörmäyksestä ja muutoksesta, joka on nähtävissä niin todellisen kuin kuvitellun kaupungin kuvassa. Toronton muodonmuutos pienestä rajaseudun kylästä tunnetuksi maailman metropoliksi viimeisen puolentoista vuosisadan aikana viestittää paikan ainutlaatuisesta olemuksesta ja luonteesta, minkä

    But a Few Acres of Snow? − Weather Images in Canadian Short Prose 1945-2000 PhD Dissertation Judit Nagy Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt thanks to my advisor and director of the Modern English and American Literature, Dr. Aladár Sarbu for his professional support, valuable insights and informative courses, which all markedly prompted the completion of my dissertation. I would also thank Dr. Anna Jakabfi for her assistance with the Canadian content of the dissertation, the cornucopia of short stories she has provided me with, and for her painstaking endeavours to continually update the Canadian Studies section of the ELTE-SEAS library with books that were indispensable for my research. I am also grateful to Dr. Istán Géher, Dr. Géza Kállay, Dr. Péter Dávidházi and Dr. Judit Friedrich, whose courses inspired many of the ideas put forward in the second chapter of the dissertation (“Short Story Text and Weather Image”). I would also like to express my gratitude to the Central European Association of Canadian Studies for the conference grant that made it possible for me to deliver a presentation in the topic of my dissertation at the 2nd IASA Congress and Conference in Ottawa in 2005, to the Embassy of Canada in Hungary, especially Robert Hage, Pierre Guimond, Agnes Pust, Yvon Turcotte, Katalin Csoma and Enikő Lantos, for their on-going support, to the Royal Canadian Geographic Society and Environment Canada for providing me with materials and information regarding the geographical-climatological findings included in my dissertation, and, last but not least, to the chief organisers of the “Canada in the European Mind” series of conferences, Dr.

Fiction.....................2 Young Adult...........29 Non-Fiction............32 Happy reading! Fiction American Dervish By Ayad Akhtar Hayat Shah is a young American in love for the first time. His normal life of school, baseball, and video games had previously been distinguished only by his Pakistani heritage and by the frequent chill between his parents, who fight over things he is too young to understand. Then Mina arrives, and everything changes. This woman is Hayat's mother's oldest friend from Pakistan. She is independent, beautiful, and intelligent, and arrives on the Shah's doorstep when her disastrous marriage in Pakistan disintegrates. Even Hayat's skeptical father can't deny the liveliness and happiness that accompanies Mina into their home. When Mina meets and begins dating a man, Hayat is confused by his feelings of betrayal. Just as Mina finds happiness, Hayat is compelled to act -- with devastating consequences for all those he loves most. The Dressmaker By Kate Alcott Tess, an aspiring seamstress, thinks she's had an incredibly lucky break when she is hired by famous designer Lady Lucile Duff Gordon to be a personal maid on the Titanic's doomed voyage. Once on board, Tess thinks she’s got it made when she catches the eye of not one, but two men: one a roughly-hewn (but kind) sailor, and the other an enigmatic Chicago millionaire.

For the writer who has been freed from prison or escaped threat in his or her homeland, exile presents a whole new set of problems. When one is estranged from friends, family and culture, with a name no one knows, exile can be a lonely, frightening place. PEN Canada has been working very hard over the past few years to develop ways to help these exiled writers make the transition to their new homes, with some encouraging success. In fact, we have been instrumental in establishing guidelines for PEN centres all over the world. We dedicate this annual report to these writers, and would like to introduce you within these pages to some of the brave men and women who have made Canada their new home.

  • SCL/ÉLC Then and Now
    Up the Hill: SCL/ÉLC Then and Now John Clement Ball ince I first discovered it as a graduate student, Studies in Canadian Literature has always struck me as the CanLit journal that could. In its modest way (a Maritime thing or a Canadian Sthing?), it has quietly and with minimal fanfare helped disseminate and shape the discourse of Canadian literature criticism for four dec- ades — though perhaps at times overshadowed by the confident elder statesjournal Canadian Literature (1959- ) and the hipper-seeming Essays on Canadian Writing (1974-2009), both founded at bigger (and big-city) universities. SCL/ÉLC began in 1975 at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, in a department that had been dominated by Desmond Pacey for three decades until his death that same year. Thanks in no small part to Pacey’s pioneering work and that of many others within and outside UNB, these were heady days for Canadian literature: post- centennial cultural nationalism had been surging for nearly a decade; new writers and literary presses were popping up all over the country; thematic criticism ruled (but not for much longer); and our nation’s fic- tion, poetry, and drama was beginning to become a respectable subject of secondary and postsecondary study. Indeed, my southern Ontario high school had what I believe was its first Canadian literature segment of an English course in my Grade 11 year (1975-76); I remember read- ing Fifth Business, The Stone Angel, and The Watch That Ends the Night and doing a presentation on Gwendolyn MacEwen, whose poetry I con- sidered (in the go-to word of my teenage years) “bizarre.” At my wife’s Halifax high school, though, a full-year CanLit course was introduced only to be threatened with cancellation part way through by provincial officials nervous that the content might not be worthy of Grade 12 English credit.
