Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

I open with a history of the trope of deformity and a theory on its applicability to questions of the nation in Canadian fiction. Bonnie Burnard’s A Good House begins the literary analysis and considers how Daphne’s asymmetrical face exemplifies the novel’s overarching deformation of the domestic realist text.

  • Interior Music: an Examination of the Sociocognitive Abilities of Fiction Writers
    INTERIOR MUSIC: AN EXAMINATION OF THE SOCIOCOGNITIVE ABILITIES OF FICTION WRITERS by Theanna Frances Bischoff A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Theanna Frances Bischoff (2013) INTERIOR MUSIC: AN EXAMINATION OF THE SOCIOCOGNITIVE ABILITIES OF FICTION WRITERS Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Theanna Frances Bischoff Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology University of Toronto Abstract A two-part study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between fiction writing and social cognition: the ability to make inferences about the mental states of others. First, an online survey was administered that assessed beliefs held by the general public about the social cognition of fiction writers compared to a variety of other professions. The findings revealed that the general public believes fiction writers demonstrate above average sociocognitive abilities. Next, the possibility of an empirical relationship between social cognition and fiction writing was explored by comparing two groups of fiction writers (established/published and intermediate writers) and a control group on measures directly assessing different facets of social cognition (e.g., social perception, interpreting body language, and making inferences about interpersonal interactions on video and in written vignettes). Participants were also asked to self-report their own sociocognitive abilities via a questionnaire assessing perspective taking. Related variables to social cognition were also tested, including self-reported interpersonal/social reactivity and cognitive complexity/differentiation. Potential confounding variables, including age, level of depression, verbal IQ, and tendency to read fiction were also measured and accounted for.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Canadian Women's Literary Discourse in English, 1982-92 Abstract For those of us who take seriously the various and imbricated post-isms that underwrite and overdetermine our critical utterances, the task of writing literary history, even in as narrow a fragment as that demarcated by my title (and imposed by the word-limit of this forum), is both exciting and daunting. Competing claims and imperatives - to be as thorough as possible in coverage (and of what?) or to make strategic choices for the sake of a coherent narrative? to speak in lists or to historicize the scene(s) of writing?- mark my task in such ways as to signal at once the discursive richness and methodological fraughtness of contemporary literary critical gestures, the demands and rewards of an increasing attention to the multiple imbrications of the literary and the social (in their broadest senses). Committing the critical self to text and to limited text, is, for me, enormously difficult, and the difficulty is compounded by the object of this survey - the most explosive, prolific, and diverse decade in the history of women's writing in English in Canada.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89131-8 - The Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature Edited by Eva-Marie Kröller Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature This book offers a comprehensive and lively introduction to major writers, genres, and topics in Canadian literature. Addressing traditional assumptions and current issues, contributors pay attention to the social, political, and eco- nomic developments that have informed literary events. Broad surveys of fic- tion, drama, and poetry are complemented by chapters on Aboriginal writing, autobiography, literary criticism, writing by women, and the emergence of urban writing in a country historically defined by its regions. Also discussed are genres that have a special place in Canadian literature, such as nature-writing, exploration- and travel-writing, and short fiction. Although the emphasis is on literature in English, a substantial chapter on francophone writing is included. Eva-Marie Kroller¨ is Professor at the Department of English, University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Her books include Canadian Travellers in Europe (1987), George Bowering: Bright Circles of Colour (1992), the only book on Canada’s first poet laureate currently available, and Pacific Encoun- ters: The Production of Self and Other (coedited, 1997). © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89131-8 - The Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature Edited by Eva-Marie Kröller Frontmatter More information © in this
