Has it retained its capabilities to influence and inspire? What is the position of Canada in the complex global system? How does Canada construct the modern world and what constructs Canada’s international image? These are the classical questions which Canadian international relations’ scholars have asked since Canada became an independent actor on the global stage. In order to address these questions fully, however, one cannot focus merely on Canada’s military and economic position. In the modern, globalized and interconnected world equally (if not more) relevant are factors of immaterial nature, which are collectively referred to as soft power. Joseph Samuel Nye, an American political scientist who coined the term ‘soft power’ in 1990, defines it as a country’s “cultural and ideological attraction.” This attraction may arise from (inter alia): “the openness of the culture to various ethnic minorities” and its popularity worldwide, “the values of democracy and human rights that exert international influence,” “the openness to immigrants,” political values, moral authority, the power of persuasion, diplomacy, an international reputation, intellectual achievements, or involvement in the creation of international institutions. In Nye’s other words, soft power is exercised when “a country may obtain the outcomes it wants (…) because other countries – admiring its values, emulating its example, aspiring to its level of prosperity and openness – want to follow it” (5). Soft power is thus achieving goals by being attractive to others or exhibiting exemplary behaviour worth imitating. Canada – “a Peaceful Kingdom” – has had a long history of using soft power elements in its foreign policy. Its positive image and fine international reputation in the world has been built by sticking to the rules of international law, membership in international organizations and commitment to international development agendas. Ottawa has a strong record of peacekeeping, promotion of human rights, multilateralism, and dispute 8 Marcin Gabryś, Tomasz Soroka resolution. Canada has also been the foremost promoter of minority rights and gender equality and the first country in the world to proclaim multiculturalism as the state’s official policy. Still leading in multiculturalism policy indexes, Canada attracts a large number of immigrants every year. There is, however, a darker side of Canada’s international image. Canada has recently been often criticized for squandering the reputation it has earned for decades as a promoter of climate change awareness and a global actor. Repeated criticism of Canada by the United Nations (for example for Quebec’s language laws) has poisoned Canadian international image. Also, Canada’s position as an environmentally sustainable country is being questioned due to its withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol (Canada was the first country to do so), large-scale and controversial seal hunting, as well as massive extraction of oil and gas from Alberta’s tar sands. Given all the above, we decided to devote the 7th volume of TransCanadiana to a discussion and an evaluation of the soft power of Canada. The authors of the articles collected in this issue use a broad spectrum of perspectives to look at the role, influence and perceptions

  • From “Telling Transgender Stories” to “Transgender People Telling Stories”: Transgender Literature and the Lambda Literary Awards, 1997-2017
    FROM “TELLING TRANSGENDER STORIES” TO “TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TELLING STORIES”: TRANSGENDER LITERATURE AND THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARDS, 1997-2017 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Andrew J. Young May 2018 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Dustin Kidd, Advisory Chair, Sociology Dr. Judith A. Levine, Sociology Dr. Tom Waidzunas, Sociology Dr. Heath Fogg Davis, External Member, Political Science © Copyright 2018 by Andrew J. Yo u n g All Rights Res erved ii ABSTRACT Transgender lives and identities have gained considerable popular notoriety in the past decades. As part of this wider visibility, dominant narratives regarding the “transgender experience” have surfaced in both the community itself and the wider public. Perhaps the most prominent of these narratives define transgender people as those living in the “wrong body” for their true gender identity. While a popular and powerful story, the wrong body narrative has been criticized as limited, not representing the experience of all transgender people, and valorized as the only legitimate identifier of transgender status. The dominance of this narrative has been challenged through the proliferation of alternate narratives of transgender identity, largely through transgender people telling their own stories, which has the potential to complicate and expand the social understanding of what it means to be transgender for both trans- and cisgender communities. I focus on transgender literature as a point of entrance into the changing narratives of transgender identity and experience. This work addresses two main questions: What are the stories being told by trans lit? and What are the stories being told about trans literature? What follows is a series of separate, yet linked chapters exploring the contours of transgender literature, largely through the context of the Lambda Literary Awards over the past twenty years.

Adam, B.D. (1987). The rise of a gay and lesbian movement . Boston, MA: Twayne Publishers. Although the Stonewall riots in New York City in June 1969 are generally considered the beginning of the Gay Liberation movement, "the first social movement to advance the civil rights of gay people was found in Germany in 1897." Amplifying John Lauritsen and David Thorstad's excellent Early Homosexual Rights Movement (1864-1935) (1974), sociologist Adam reviews the social, historic, and economic conditions surrounding the development of gay rights worldwide. Using secondary sources, he interweaves individuals, episodes, and examples into an overall picture, chronicling the fits and starts of lesbian and gay rights movements to the present. An extensive list of references supplements the annotated selected bibliography of this comprehensive international history.
