Scarborough the novel employs a multitude of voices to tell the story of a tight-knit neighbourhood under re, o ering a raw yet empathetic glimpse into a troubled community that locates its dignity in unexpected places: a neighbourhood that refuses to be undone. “Scarborough marks the arrival of a erce new voice in Canadian ction. Hernandez has rendered one of the most vibrant portraits of contemporary suburbia I’ve yet encountered.” —Jordan Tannahill, Governor General’s Award-winning playwright “It’s said that sometimes an author needs to write ction in order to tell the most searing Scarborough truth, and Scarborough is perfect proof of that axiom. This is a beautifully rendered, intimately populated landscape that honours and cherishes characters we usually only see relegated to background scenery and pat, two-dimensional representations. It feels at once foreign and familiar, soothing and challenging—the kind of storytelling that touches our tenderest places; the best kind of storytelling I know.” —S. Bear Bergman, author of Butch Is a Noun and The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You “Scarborough showcases a necessary shift from the singular voice novel to create space for many voices to be heard—especially ones that are often forgotten.

  • Starting a Conversation: the Effort, Effect and Affect of Trans Poetics
    Starting a Conversation: The Effort, Effect and Affect of Trans Poetics by Terrence Abrahams, BA University of Toronto, 2017 A Major Research Paper presented to Ryerson University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the English MA Program in Literatures of Modernity Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2019 © Terrence Abrahams, 2019 2 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF A MAJOR RESEARCH PAPER I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this MRP. This is a true copy of the MRP, including any required final revisions. I authorize Ryerson University to lend this MRP to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I further authorize Ryerson University to reproduce this MRP by photocopying or by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I understand that my MRP may be made electronically available to the public. 3 Introduction – In the introduction to Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry and Poetics, editor TC Tolbert states that the cultural work of this anthology is, in part, “an attempt to expand the range of what is possible for trans and genderqueer poets and to acknowledge that there is no such thing as monolithic trans and genderqueer poetry” (10). Tolbert further notes that there are two dangers to producing an anthology that will, undoubtedly, shift literary culture: they are exclusion and isolation or confinement (11). Tolbert and fellow editor Trace Peterson are both aware, then, that as a burgeoning field of study and literary culture, transgender poetry and poetics simply cannot be defined, lest they perpetuate exclusion (a state with which trans writers are most familiar) and isolation (Tolbert here cites a “biographical frame [that] puts more emphasis on the author … than the actual poems” - but the editors are also rightly concerned that only other trans people will be interested in trans poetics, meaning cisgender readers will overlook these works [11]).

    Transmotion Vol 6, No 2 (2020) Sweatlodge in the Apocalypse: An Interview with Smokii Sumac JAMES MACKAY *Please view the html version of this piece in order to watch the recording of the original interview. James Mackay: I wanted to start by asking about the images on the front cover of your book, you are enough. They’re very striking, and seem to say a lot about you and your relationship to the land. How did you come to the design and how did you come to choose those particular images? Smokii Sumac: I love this question! I don't get to talk about it a lot. I was really lucky to be working with an Indigenous press, Kegedonce (https://kegedonce.com), who gave me the freedom to choose. And when I started thinking about what I wanted to share, I was thinking about first of all, where I'm from. The lands there in those photos are my many different homes, places that I'm connected to. A lot of the book is about finding home. So there's Peterborough, Ontario, where I was living. One of them is just the moon. There are the mountains from home where I live in Ktunaxa territory. And there's also Blackfeet territory where I do ceremony. Then I put myself out there. I think there's sort of this insecurity around selfies sometimes that can happen because there's sort of a stigma around them – at least, the Kim Kardashian kind of selfie mode. And yet it means something else for our Indigenous women specifically.

  • 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.

  • The Sovereign Erotic
    The Sovereign Erotic 42ND AMERICAN INDIAN WORKSHOP 12TH-17TH JULY, 2021 EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY CYPRUS Organiser: James Mackay A note on the conference format In the last two years, many of us have become far more accustomed to online conferences than we were before. The pandemic has pushed even major national and international scholarly associations into meeting on Zoom, at the same time as scholars have been forced without warning into teaching using distance learning technologies. While recognizing that this has been an unwelcome change for many, I believe that this week’s conference (just as with last year’s AIW) shows that there are more things to be gained than lost in the move online. Most importantly, we’ve reduced the CO2 cost of this conference. An international conference inevitably involves flights from all over the world, and it’s no longer justifiable to assuage our consciences by paying for (often highly suspicious) carbon offset programs. Destroying the atmosphere to go somewhere to talk about Indigenous issues seems particularly hypocritical, and when the research suggests that a move online can reduce the carbon footprint of these events by around 90% the question of how to make online work becomes particularly urgent. Cyprus, the host country for this year’s AIW, is a climate change hotspot where temperatures are predicted to rise by much more than the global average unless world carbon emissions are reduced to zero, so this is a matter of particular urgency here. The change also helps to democratize academia. Online conferences allow for delegates to attend from all over the world, including graduate students and independent scholars who do not have funding for international travel.

And you recently made the relocation back to Australia. And you already have an incredible number of Aussie books that you've shared on your Instagram, on all sorts of things. I've been loving it. [00:00:58] Jaclyn I have. It's been a very rough move, doing an international move during a pandemic, as I'm sure many people have experienced too.
