Caroline Adderson fonds 1986-2004 2.58 m of textual records and other material Biographical Sketch: Caroline Adderson was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1963. After finishing high school, she entered Katimavik, a Canadian youth volunteer-service program, and travelled across Canada, partaking in such activities as working on a sheep farm and building log cabins on a reservation. Adderson completed an education degree at UBC in 1986, and a year later she settled in Vancouver and started teaching ESL. She has spent most of her adult life in Vancouver, B.C., but has also lived for brief periods in New Orleans and Toronto. Her first book of short fiction, Bad Imaginings (1993) won the 1994 Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, was shortlisted for the 1993 Governor General’s Award and Commonwealth Book Prize, and in audio format the CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) Talking Book of the Year. These stories have since appeared in many anthologies and have been broadcast and adapted for radio. Her first novel, A History of Forgetting (1999) was nominated for the 2000 Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize and the 2000 Rogers’ Writer’s Trust Fiction Prize. Her second novel, Sitting Practice (2003) was shortlisted for the VanCity Book Prize for best book pertaining to women’s issues by a B.C. author as well as the City of Vancouver Book Award. It won the 2004 Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize. Her works of fiction and non-fiction have been widely published in literary magazines and newspapers.

    QUEBEC FICTIO I EGLISH DURIG THE 1980S: 1 A CASE STUDY I MARGIALITY Linda Leith I The unique position of Quebec writers in the English language 2 and the peculiarities of the fiction they have been publishing during the 1980s are best understood in the light of recent socio-political and cultural changes within Quebec and in Canada as a whole. Caught up as no other English-Canadian writers have been caught up in the maelstrom of change, and living as no other English-Canadian writers live in a society with a French face, these writers have produced a body of work quite distinct in some ways from other contemporary English-Canadian fiction. Much of my thinking about this writing is inspired by recent work on the formation of literary canons and on the literary production of marginal social groups. It owes a particular debt to the work of Raymond Williams, who devoted much of his career to exploring the possibilities of discussing English literature and society together while respecting the uniqueness of specific texts. This is a debt not only to Williams's most general observation that "as a society changes, its literature changes" (1965, 268), and to his comments on the formation of a literary tradition, but also to his suggestive, though not wholly applicable, account of the interrelations between dominant and alternative or oppositional aspects at a given historical moment. Williams's distinction between two different kinds of alternatives on a status quo, which he terms the "residual" and the "emergent" (1977, 121-27), is helpful in discussions of the cultural manifestations of the middle class in nineteenth century Britain; it is not applicable in the present context of English Quebec fiction, which requires an assessment of a social group linked not along class lines but rather along linguistic and cultural lines.

    Criminal Investigation and Canadian National Identity in Murdoch Mysteries

    Sheley, E. 2020. Criminal Investigation and Canadian National Identity in Murdoch Mysteries. Entertainment and Sports Law Journal, 18: 7, pp. 1–6. DOI: https://doi.org/10.16997/eslj.253 INTERVENTION Criminal Investigation and Canadian National Identity in Murdoch Mysteries Erin Sheley California Western School of Law, US [email protected] This essay argues that Canadian detective show Murdoch Mysteries uses the legal conflict between Canadian criminal investigation and American foreign policy to shore up an idea of Canadian national iden- tity against an explicitly American other. First, I discuss the character of William Murdoch as a distinct departure from the literary tradition of the nineteenth-century police officer. Second, I show howMurdoch Mysteries attempts to serve as social criticism concerning socio-legal issues still relevant to Canadian society in the present day. Third, I argue that the show’s ongoing depiction of criminal jurisdictional conflict between the Toronto constabulary and Her Majesty’s government in Ottawa reveals anxieties over the present-day American threat to Canadian security and way of life. Finally, I conclude that the repeated narrative contrast between Murdoch’s scientific criminal investigations and federal strategies of American appeasement serves the secondary purpose of displacing domestic social anxieties onto an American other and reifying a Canadian national identity premised on objectivity and the rule of law. Keywords: criminal law; television drama; Canada; national identity; communications regulation; broadcasting Long-running Canadian detective show Murdoch Mysteries (2008) was an unexpected hit; even the show’s creators have expressed surprise that the adventures of strait-laced police detective William Murdoch—who uses scientific gadgetry to solve crimes in Victorian- and Edwardian-era Toronto—would become one of the regularly highest-rated programmes on the public CBC network (Stinson 2014: B5).
