IV Acknowledgements Traditionally, the acknowledgment page has been reserved for the poor bastard who has written an entire book or dissertation to list everyone she or he has ever known who ever peripherally aided (or abetted) the entire process— from gathering information to sorting information to bleeding each and every word onto the page to crying over each agonizing revision to the final end which is never truly the end. Some acknowledgement pages are brief, others blather on for a few pages. And let's face it, most people never read an acknowledgement page unless they are aware beforehand that they are referenced therein. I considered dispensing with this tradition, not wanting to offend by leaving anyone out, but ultimately decided that this was a unique opportunity to say what I wanted after having gone through the process briefly described above. With that in mind, let us commence. Jeff and Alex, this is especially for you, who grew up over the course of five-plus years without me on a regular basis. I can never reclaim those years, and it often makes me wonder if it was all worth it. This is also for Stirling, without whom it would have been an awfully dull process. Te amo. In my thoughts, always, are you, e-du-tsi, who unwaveringly supported my worries, concerns, and always my ideas and writing. And also o-gi-na-li-i.

For some of us, the first stories we remember may have been "creation myths" Bible stories. For others, the stories heard while growing up may be family stories: stories of recent or long ago ancestors and their lives. Still others grow up on "fairy tales," or old children's classics. The telling and retelling of stories of whatever variety is not unusual in any given culture, but the importance and meaning of stories does, indeed, differ to some extent, depending on the culture being studied. In the following four chapters, I will explore a number of themes related to the storytelling process, and I will be looking especially at how through storytelling a few different things are happening. In particular, after defining exactly what is meant by the term "storytelling," and differentiating the differences between storytelling and story-telling, I am interested in exploring how two particular Indian^ authors— Greg Sarris and Thomas King— define themselves through their storytelling; how their stories situate them in their individual tribes; and how they understand their own self-identity through 'îrvW'î'TT'ÎHtial r» f a 1 1 4 m /"V I believe that an author does, indeed, bring (or should bring) a part of his or her persona to everything that he or she writes, even if it comes under the guise of an academic exercise. That being said, it is my intent to perhaps bring a little bit of "different" to the usual staid dissertation process in that I have interjected (sometimes as epigraphs to the chapters that follow, other times in context in the ^ Much has been written regarding to the labels imposed upon the indigenous people of the Americas by the Europeans who invaded these continents. Most recently, Michael Yellow Bird [Sahnish and Hidatsa] has written that he interchangeably uses 'First Nations Peoples' and 'Indigenous Peoples' rather than 'Indian,' 'American Indian,' and 'Native American' because they are 'colonized identities imposed by Europeans and European Americans" (Yellow Bird 6). 'Native Americans" as an academe-imposed term deemed to be politically correct, is slowly being eroded by those of European descent, who, having been born on this continent, insist that they are just as much 'native" Americans as the indigenous population. 'Indians," of course, is Columbus' misnomer. Joy Harjo, in Reinventing the Enemy's Language, says that 'Native American is a term invented in academe and is the term of the moment. It was invented to replace the term American Indian. This is a serious misnomer. In our communities we first name ourselves by tribe, but the general term commonly used is Indian in the United States and native in Canada. Canadian tribes also use the term First Nations with which to address their peoples" (20). However, for the sake of simplicity, and for lack of a more universally agreed-upon term (agreed upon by the tribal peoples. chapters) some of my own stories, to help make the point of that chapter.

I discuss more specifically what I call the "labeling imperative" and the role of academics in criticizing and theorizing about "Native American literature." In accordance with the labeling imperative comes the question of "proper perspective" in terms of both a specific writer's "qualifications" to write about her/his given topic as well as the ultimate reminder that the storytelling being discussed here is fiction and as such should not be viewed as the definitive picture of any culture or peoples. As well, I also address Walter Benjamin in context of his essay "Storyteller" and why I have chosen to use as little Euro-American criticism and theory as possible in the discussion of storytelling in the works of Sarris and King.

Surveys of ic- tion, drama, and poetry are complemented by chapters on Aboriginal writ- ing, autobiography, literary criticism, writing by women, and the emergence of urban writing. Areas of research that have expanded since the irst edition include environmental concerns and questions of sexuality which are freshly explored across several different chapters. A substantial chapter on franco- phone writing is included. Authors such as Margaret Atwood, noted for her experiments in multiple literary genres, are given full consideration, as is the work of authors who have achieved major recognition, such as Alice Munro, recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature. Eva-Marie Kröller edited the Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature (irst edn., 2004) and, with Coral Ann Howells, the Cambridge History of Canadian Literature (2009).

The final, binding course outline will be distributed in the first class of the semester. School of English and Theatre Studies Course Code: Course Title: Date of Offering: 3940*01 Seminar: Form, Genre & Literary Value Fall 2021 Topic for Sec. 01: Autobiography, Ficticity, Allegory Course Instructor: Course Format: Dr. J.R. (Tim) Struthers Asynchronous (For details, see end of this document) Brief Course Synopsis: Please Note: As needed, this Fall’s offering of ENGL*3940*01 (and ENGL*3940*02) may count as a .5 credit in “Canadian literature” if such a .5 credit is required in terms of specific “Distribution Requirements” for English Programs. The topic I have chosen for this course – “Autobiography, Ficticity, Allegory” -- and my personal desire to encourage a creative and a critical and a personal approach to reading and writing offer an opportunity to develop our understanding of traditionally distinct, now often merging art forms and theoretical approaches, of their values to ourselves and to others. As an important facet of this objective, members of this class should consider themselves not simply invited but strongly encouraged to reflect on and to explore the potential that the three different elements of “Autobiography; Ficticity; Allegory” contain for enhancing our thinking and writing in ways that give more scope to the individual imagination. Special attention will be given to ways in which these three elements combine in Indigenous writer (and Guelph resident) Thomas King’s book The Truth about Stories: A Native Narrative.

    UNCOMFORTABLE MIRRORS: RELIGION AND MIMETIC VIOLENCE IN CONTEMPORARY CANADIAN NATIVE LITERATURE by Ken Derry A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of the Centre for the Study of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Ken Derry, 2009 ABSTRACT “Uncomfortable Mirrors: Religion and Mimetic Violence in Contemporary Canadian Native Literature” Ph.D. Thesis, 2009 Ken Derry Centre for the Study of Religion University of Toronto This study considers religion and mimetic violence in the work of four contemporary Canadian Native writers: Maria Campbell, Beatrice Culleton, Thomas King, and Basil Johnston. The mimetic violence examined is both social (the colonial attempt to remake the colonized into a reflection of the dominant culture) and personal (inter-Native conflict in which participants mirror one another in their struggle for a mutually covetted object). In order to investigate the former, I rely on the work of Homi K. Bhabha on colonial mimicry and hybridity; to examine the latter, I employ René Girard’s model of mimetic desire and violence. The principal academic contexts to this work are the study of Native literature and the academic study of religion, including the sub-field of Religion and Literature. After reviewing the relevant literature in these fields, and examining mimetic violence in key texts by the Native authors listed, I make several concluding points. First, I argue that a causal link between colonial violence and inter-Native mimetic violence is evident in the category of Native literature labelled by Thomas King as “polemical.” This includes Campbell’s Halfbreed, Culleton’s In Search of April Raintree, and King’s own Green Grass, Running Water.

Ong drew attention to the radical changes which are experienced by predominantly oral cultures when they develop writing and have access to print. He emphasized how the shift from “primary orality” to “secondary orality” not only implies that cultures are compelled to elaborate new rhetorical styles in order to communicate knowledge by employing a different medium; the shift also involves a major transformation of thought itself. According to Ong, orally based thought and expression are additive rather than subordinative; aggregative rather than analytic; redundant, conservative, close to the human lifeworld, agonistically toned, empathetic and participatory rather than objectively distanced; homeostatic and situational rather than abstract (36-57). 2 When trying to throw further light on the dichotomy between oral and literate cultures, anthropologists have often used a series of contrastive terms by which each of the two cultures has been associated to the following binary oppositions: subjectivity vs.

Vahia Centre for Canadian Studies Faculty of Arts Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda Sayajigunj Baroda, Gujarat India [email protected] Abstract I Resume Puranas are essentially Hindu storytelling versions of the holy Vedas. They interpret complex truths to the masses. The author suggests that Tom King does the same thing in his fiction. He writes about the compli­ cated sociopolitical and historical realities of Canadian colonialism af­ fecting Native people. He fictionalizes these events to interpret truths to a mass audience, both Native and non-Native, using a narrative style to remind readers of these ongoing problems. Les Puranas sont essentiellement des contes fondes sur les Vedas sacres. lis interpretent desverites complexes pour les masses. Le present article met de I'avant que I'ecrivain Tom King fait la meme chose dans ses oeuvres de fiction.

Vahia The twentieth century saw many changes in the global scenario be­ ing overshadowed by European colonization in the preceding centuries. Apart from the obvious economic and political progress, there also came a distinct awakening in the literary field - an awakening which was then consciously spread by the experts of this field within their community.
