  • Introduction
    Introduction Imagine you’re invited to a party. You arrive at the venue, slip past security, and Margaret Atwood is there; so are Michael Ondaatje, Anne Carson, and Dionne Brand. CanLit’s luminaries surround you, and having never brushed elbows with so many prominent writers, you turn paparazzi and start taking photographs in earnest. Point and click—easy to tell who monopolizes the spotlight and who falls back. It’s only once you focus manually, looking for an unconventional angle, that you begin to notice others: a younger, more anonymous crowd pushing at the margins, trying to bypass the guest list. So you raise your camera to include them too, at least those close enough to see clearly. Some of the shots will turn out perfectly—balanced composition, candid expressions that capture the palpable energy of the event. Some won’t. The blur of time will seep in, poor exposure rendering the photographs unusable. You might think I’m describing a Griffin Poetry Prize gala. I am, of course, but this is also the plight of prospective anthologists. Working without the benefit of hindsight, anthologists are responsible for scouting talent in little magazines, hard-to-find books, and critical periodicals. Canonization is a gamble, and time and time again Canadian editors have either gone all in or hedged their bets, offering up both generation defining compilations and remixed versions of established texts. With New Provinces, F.R. Scott curated 13 The Next Wave the first essential anthology of Canadian poetry in 1936. Providing a platform for future icons like E.J.

    The Un vers ty of W scons n System Feminist Periodicals A current listing of contents WOMEN'S STUDIES Volume 26, Number 4, Winter 2007 Published by Phyllis Holman Weisbard LIBRARIAN Women's Studies Librarian Feminist Periodicals A current listing of contents Volume 26, Number 4 (Winter 2007) Periodical literature is the cutting edge ofwomen's scholarship, feminist theory, and much ofwomen's culture. Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is published by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table of contents pages from current issues ofmajorfeministjournalsare reproduced in each issue ofFeminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the follOWing information on each journal: 1. Year of first publication. 2. Frequency of pUblication. 3. Subscription prices (print only; for online prices, consult publisher). 4. Subscription address.

  • The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright a Thesis
    The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Amy Bright, 2016 Abstract Recent research by Neilsen reports that adult readers purchase 80% of all young adult novels sold, even though young adult literature is a category ostensibly targeted towards teenage readers (Gilmore). More than ever before, young adult (YA) literature is at the center of some of the most interesting literary conversations, as writers, readers, and publishers discuss its wide appeal in the twenty-first century. My dissertation joins this vibrant discussion by examining the ways in which YA literature has transformed to respond to changing social and technological contexts. Today, writing, reading, and marketing YA means engaging with technological advances, multiliteracies and multimodalities, and cultural and social perspectives. A critical examination of five YA texts – Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, Libba Bray’s Beauty Queens, Daniel Handler’s Why We Broke Up, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, and Jaclyn Moriarty’s The Ghosts of Ashbury High – helps to shape understanding about the changes and the challenges facing this category of literature as it responds in a variety of ways to new contexts. In the first chapter, I explore the history of YA literature in order to trace the ways that this literary category has changed in response to new conditions to appeal to and serve a new generation of readers, readers with different experiences, concerns, and contexts over time.

  • Burma Chronicles and Guibert, Lefèvre, and Lemercier’S the Photographer
    Asian American Literature: Discourses and Pedagogies 5 (2014) 23-44. Graphic Self-Consciousness, Travel Narratives, and the Asian American Studies Classroom: Delisle’s Burma Chronicles and Guibert, Lefèvre, and Lemercier’s The Photographer By Monica Chiu As graphic narratives find solid purchase in the literary marketplace and in academia, students flock to related courses. I recently experienced this enthusiasm when I offered an upper-level Asian American graphic narratives course that filled beyond capacity, the first time this umbrella course for the field of Asian American studies had ever over enrolled in the fifteen years I had taught at my New England- based institution. In the course, students first grappled with comics terminology, introduced through Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics and Thierry Groensteen’s The System of Comics. After this basic introduction to reading verbal-visual texts, we discussed those by and about Asian Americans: Gene Luen Yang’s American Born Chinese, Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki’s Skim, Tofic El Rassi’s Arab in America, among others. These comics rely on recognizable (stereotypical) images of Asians and Asian Americans to expose accepted types and then to subvert or dismantle them. Students were most challenged by the autobiographical Burma Chronicles (2008) by Guy Delisle and The Photographer: Into War-Torn Afghanistan with Doctors Without Borders (2009), an artistic collaboration among Didier Lefèvre’s photographs, which served as an impetus for the text; Emmanuel Guibert’s comic art; and colorist Frédéric Lermercier’s book design. Delisle’s and Lefèvre’s travel narratives by non-Asian Americans about Southeast Asians (Burmese) and West Asians (Afghans) asked students to consider the self-representation of the comics’ Canadian and French protagonists, respectively, as they navigated foreign territories.

The end of this year also marks the beginning of an excit- ing new journey for the Fund as it transitions to a new funding model. The past seven years saw the Fund invest in a long list of incredibly rich films, from The Breadwinner and Maudie, to Closet Monster, Blood Quantum, and more. Over the years, many HGF-supported productions were met with international acclaim and accolades, and all demonstrated the strength and vitality of the Canadian film and television industry.
