Contemporary Canadian Literature: A Search for Identity (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Maria Moss

Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 16:15 - 17:45 | 12.10.2015 - 29.01.2016 | C 5.019 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Much of the fiction written, read, and studied in Canada over the past two decades asks questions and challenges assumptions about the nature of Canada´s relationship with others: with minorities, with their direct neighbors (most specifically, the United States), and with their native populations. Taking its cue from both W.H. New´s study, "Borderlands: How We Talk About Canada" and the collection of lectures by Margaret Atwood, "Strange Things: The Malevolent North in Canadian Literature," the seminar will explore the ways in which contemporary writers of fiction – those who are established as well as those who are newcomers to the literary scene – describe Canada´s pursuit of a specifically “Canadian” identity.
