  • Exploring Discourses of Appropriation: Collecting Modern Canadian Cultural
    COLLECTING MODERN CANADIAN CULTURAL IDENTITY M.A. Thesis – S. Little; McMaster University - English EXPLORING DISCOURSES OF APPROPRIATION: COLLECTING MODERN CANADIAN CULTURAL IDENTITY By: SARAH LITTLE, H.B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Sarah Little, September 2012 ii M.A. Thesis – S. Little; McMaster University - English McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2012) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Exploring Discourses of Appropriation: Collecting Modern Canadian Cultural Identity AUTHOR: Sarah Little, H.B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Lorraine York NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 88. iii M.A. Thesis – S. Little; McMaster University - English Abstract: By applying Canadian literary theory, museum theory, and material culture theory to 20th and 21st century Canadian literature, I argue that physical objects reflect Canada‟s continued engagement in colonial practices and the nation‟s resistance to acknowledging these practices. The act of selecting and including (which is also necessarily an act of excluding) objects in personal and institutional collections speak to the anxiety of the Euro-Canadian settler that is produced by a conflicting sense of privilege and colonial complicity. Collecting is a means of negotiating self- and shared knowledge, and by re- collecting and repatriating those things that haunt us we come closer to recognizing ourselves. Re-reading ourselves through objects will allow us to confront this anxiety and its implications, to destabilize the Euro-Canadian settler-as-victim, and to move forward as a nation. iv M.A. Thesis – S. Little; McMaster University - English Acknowledgements To my supervisor Lorraine York – your supportive and insightful comments have been invaluable to this project.
