III N. 2 2011 Introductory Note his volume contains the proceedings of an international Conference on Canadian Literature and Culture that took place at the Faculty Tof Letters of the University of Lisbon under the title From Sea to Sea: Canadian Literature and Culture in Lisbon, from 18 to 20 November 2009. Organized by a research group from the University of Lisbon Centre of English Studies,1 this Canadian Conference was the first of its kind to be held in Portugal. The aim was to call the attention of academic and non academic communities to the specificity and diversity of Canadian literature and culture and also to bring together researchers on Canadian culture coming from various universities and research centres from Portugal and abroad. There were three plenary speakers: two guest authors and an inter - national scholar. Jane Urquhart, the novelist whose novels illuminate ways of loving and living in the inexorability of a country called Canada; Fred Wah, the poet who forces words and sounds into new forms capable of saying the inner tensions and complexity of a hyphenized existence; Hilde Staels, from Leuven University, who gave a lecture consisting in a thorough analysis of Aritha van Herk’s novels. 1 ULICES’ Research Group 4, on “The United Kingdom and the New English-speaking Literatures and Cultures: Inter-art and Intercultural Dialogues”. The principal investigator of this group, Prof. Isabel Fernandes, was assisted by an organizing committee composed by Fernando Barragão, Mário Vítor Bastos, Marijke Boucherie, Luísa Falcão, Julian Hanna, Eduarda Melo Cabrita and Duarte Patarra. The committee could count on the invaluable help and expertise of John Havelda, lecturer of Canadian Literature at the University of Coimbra. 12 REVISTA ANGLO SAXONICA All other participants came by invitation and it was possible to gather a rich community of researchers who touched on a wide selection of Canadian realities and artistic manifestations: Canada’s Indigenous Peoples, Landscape, Survival and Otherness (Willa Cather’s Canada, Emma Donoghue); Canadian Identity (and) Postcolonialism (David Chariandi, Dionne Brand, Madeleine Thien, Yeng Chen); Canadian Literature in English (Urquhart, Atwood, Munro, Van Herck) and in French; Poetry (Fred Wah, Anne Simpson) and Cyberpoetry; Visual Art (Ken Lum, Fred Wah, John Havelda), the Literary Manifesto, Canadian Film, Portuguese Literature in Canada and Translation Studies, among others.

Lisbon, 16 December 2009 Marijke Boucherie Memorandum he Ambassador of Canada in Lisbon, H. E. Anne-Marie Bourcier, opened the proceedings with a speech that highlighted the expertise Tof Canada in various fields and emphasized, in particular the areas in which Canada and Portugal have established relationships and cooperation. Following the speech, there was a small ceremony in which H. E. the Ambassador made a donation of books and multimedia to the Faculty Library related to Canada, Canadian politics and society and Canadian art and culture. The Conference was especially enriched by the presentation of a bilin gual anthology of Canadian Poetry, translated and compiled by Isabel Patim, John Havelda and Manuel Portela. Entitled pulllllllllllllllllllllll: Contemporary Poetry from Canada. The publisher, Luís Oliveira (of “Antígona”) presented the anthology (which was published at Antígona in February 2010). The Conference also hosted the Photo-Text Installation by Fred Wah and John Havelda, ‘Know Your Place’ set up in the Exhibition Gallery of the Library. The catalogue of the exhibition included a review by the Guardian Critic, Robert Clark who gave permission to republish it for the Conference. The exhibition was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Librarian of the Faculty Library, Pedro Estácio Santos, and the team of the Cultural Services of the Library, Maria João Godinho and Pedro Coelho. With the cooperation of the Library staff, a considerable number of books by Canadian authors and on Canadian subjects were ordered for the Library on short notice and an exhibition of Canadian books was organized. A display of 75 items on Canada or by Canadian authors – books, electronic documents, dissertations and magazines, all carefully catalogued (‘From Sea to Sea’: Canadian Literature and Culture 14 REVISTA ANGLO SAXONICA in Lisbon. Catálogo bibliográfico) was to be visited during the Conference in the Exhibition Gallery and the catalogue freely distributed among the participants. During the three days of the Conference, the screening of three Canadian films took place: Away from Her, directed by Sarah Polley (intro duced by Professor Teresa Casal), a selection of short animation films by Norman McLaren and Les Invasions Barbares directed by Denys Arcand (both introduced by Professor Mário Jorge Torres). Finally, a reception hosted by the Embassy of Canada on the second day of the Conference brought together all the participants in a gathering where it was possible for all those present to exchange views and experiences relating to Canadian issues and to further pursue the relationships between Canada and Portugal. “From Sea to Sea: Canadian Literature in Lisbon” was the first international Conference on Canadian literature and culture in Lisbon and brought together scholars from Portugal and Spain who work, often quite isolated, on Canadian Literature and Culture. It hosted two Canadian authors, an internationally recognized scholar in Canadian Literature in English and a series of high quality presentations that did justice to the linguistic, cultural, social and formal diversity of the literatures and cultures of Canada. It promoted the relationship between the Portuguese academic community, the public at large and the Canadian Embassy. The Conference also gave visibility to the future book launch of a bilingual anthology of Canadian poetry
