Can you hear the sleighbells are ringing in this, the first issue of our eighth volume? Now eight years old and growing rapidly, the quint is looking forward to another interesting and insightful year. This Christmas, national and international writers have joined the quint. Fall may have disappeared under the soft cover of our Northern winter but our in- terest in regional and global matters have not. An eclectic stocking of diverse offerings—arresting ar- ticles, stunning poetry, splendid photography and useful reviews—this quint is for the discriminating reader who is looking forward to curling up beside a fireplace with new ideas and a cup of something hot (and preferably mulled). Showcasing articles and art from Canada, Tunisia, the United States, Australia, China, and Italy, our twenty ninth quint begins with Jim Gough, Bill Mackay, and Bruce Wallace’s thought-provoking article about Canadian colleges and the new knowledge economy. Hagar Ben Driss’ “Occupy the Carribean: Re-Locating the self in Derek Walcott’s Poetry” then examines spatial anxieties and issues in Walcott’s work. Following Driss’ sensitive investigation of Walcott’s po- etry, Jennifer Sijnja’s “’Unfit for consideration’: the meaning of suicide in Evelyn Waugh’s Vile Bodies” possibilities of meaning attached to suicide and death in the work of Evelyn Waugh. A fascinating study of the often conflicted responses to slavery by slaves themselves, Valorie Tucker’s “Slave Vio- lence: Resistance and Desperation” provides us with food for thought about the complex relationships between slaves and masters in the antebellum South. Melanie Belmore’s “Tomson Highway’s Kiss of the Fur Queen: The Trickster Dual Representation—Colonization and Decolonization at the Birch River Indian Settlement School” is a thoughtful examination of Tomson Highway’s treatment of is- sues of hybridity and adaptation seen through an empowering Aboriginal lens. Then Gabriel Quig- ley’s “’This fateful convergence’: Welt and History in Auerbach’s ‘Philology of World Literature’” asks the reader to consider European preoccupations concerning globalism and global homogeneity. Ying Kong’s perceptive and nuanced discussion of Zhang Yawen’s autobiographical study of the Chinese Dream in “A Cry for Life: A Writer Warrior” is a must-read review. Ending our December offerings, Antonio Sanna’s “Contemporary Anxieties and the Future of Humanity: Joss Whedon’s Avengers: The Age of Ultron” discusses a film that has made over a billion dollars and was made for “the devout.” Of course, no quint is complete without its creative complement. We are again privileged to showcase Jefferson’s Holdridge’s skillfully condensed and incredibly powerful lyrics, and, to present, for the first time in the quint, Lash Keith Vance’s
