  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    SCIENCE IMAGINED | LITERATURE REALIZED: TRUTH AND FICTION IN CANADA by Marc André Fortin A thesis submitted to the Department of English In conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (January, 2012) Copyright © Marc André Fortin, 2012 Abstract In Canada, writers of long fiction have recently begun to employ representations of science and to use scientific theories to construct narratives that investigate issues of class, race, sexuality, faith, truth and the ontological understanding of human existence. This turn towards science in creative works of art suggests that scientific discourse in the early twenty-first century has become a space from which to respond to questions about the search for truth after the rise of poststructuralist theory and postmodern culture. My work investigates this recent turn towards science in contemporary Canadian literature as a way of reevaluating the idea that science is associated with a teleological movement towards human progress, and to analyze how scientific representations re-imagine faith and ethics from a secular perspective. The recent shift towards science in the literature of Canada in English suggests a questioning of social conditions which place the human within epistemological spectrums between truth and fiction, faith and reason, and the individual and the universal. In my dissertation questions related to belief and truth are bound up in a cross-textual study that looks at how Canadian literature reevaluates important debates among

Her name was Aloha Wanderwell. The project was foolhardy in the extreme. Drivable roads were scarce and the cars themselves — about as powerful as today’s ride-on mowers — were alien in much of the world. To overcome these limitations, the Wanderwell Expedition created a specially modified Model T Ford that featured rubber tires, steel disc wheels, gun scabbards, and a sloped back that could fold out to become a darkroom. Thus equipped, Aloha set out to see the world. All that remained was learning how to drive. Aloha’s name and adventures became known around the world. Tall, graceful, and beautiful, she was photographed in front of the Eiffel Tower, in the salt caverns of Poland, parked on the back of the Sphinx, firing mortars in China, visiting American fliers in Calcutta, meeting the prince regent of Japan, shaking hands with Mussolini, smiling through a tickertape parade in Detroit. She was an inspiration to thousands. As it turns out, the famous Aloha Wanderwell was an invention. The American Aloha Wanderwell was, in reality, the Canadian Idris Hall. And her mentor, the dashing filmmaker, lecturer, polyglot, and world traveller Captain Walter Wanderwell, was an invention himself.
