项目摘要

Canadian Literature, a volume in the Edinburgh Critical Guides series, will explore the ways in which the canon of English-Canadian literature has been constructed, challenged and expanded, and analyse the shifting cultural and theoretical frameworks most often deployed to account for its central characteristics. The book will examine how Canadian literature is currently studied and theorised, and analyse the bearing of postcolonial theory, feminist and queer criticism, transatlantic perspectives, celebrity theory and postmodernism on Canadian literary studies. The introduction and conclusion will discuss these questions explicitly, and they will also inform the case studies of individual texts which I will present in four themed chapters. The chapters will offer new readings of twenty important Canadian authors, placing them in the context of their national literary history and exploring different critical approaches to their work. The first chapter, 'Race, Ethnicity and Migration', will concentrate in particular on representations of Native Canadians, immigrant identities and hybridity. The encounter between white colonizers and indigenous peoples will be explored through an examination of colonial texts, and substantial attention will be given to Native voices of the 19th and 20th centuries and to the writing of immigrant communities. Authors considered as case studies will be Frances Brooke, Pauline Johnson, Michael Ondaatje, Thomas King and Tomson Highway.Chapter two, 'Wildernesses, Cities, Regions', will take as its starting point the classic Canadian wilderness narrative, Wacousta, and explore its legacy to later writers. The relationship between wilderness and garrison, and later between forest, small town and city, has always been considered a central preoccupation of Canadian literature, and in recent decades this theme has been revisited and parodied in a range of self-conscious, postmodern fictions. The chapter will also examine the literary construction of Canada by region. Authors discussed will be LM Montgomery, Ethel Wilson, Robertson Davies, Carol Shields and Alice Munro. Chapter three will introduce a less expected topic, but one which I see as central to Canadian literature: 'Desire'. The Canadian poetics of landscape is intimately bound up with the body and desire, and in contemporary writing, the impulse to explore the country's history has also become entwined with the erotic. The chapter will examine the interrelationships between land, sexuality and history in some of Canada's most sensual writing. It will also address homosexual desire, an important strand in Canadian literature which has until recently received insufficient critical attention. Authors considered will be Martha Ostenso, Leonard Cohen, John Glassco, Anne Michaels, and Dionne Brand.The last chapter, 'History and the Post/colonial', addresses the fascination with history evident in Canadian literature from the early 19th century onwards. It will begin with the well-established genre of the Canadian long poem, which frequently takes an historical subject, and move on to discuss the proliferation of postmodern texts which problematise the relation between history and literature. It will also examine intertextual connections between colonial and postcolonial literature, considering the value - and the difficulties - of reading Canadian literature in the light of postcolonial theory. Authors discussed will be EJ Pratt, Margaret Laurence, Margaret Atwood, Joy Kogawa and Daphne Marlatt.A 'crossover monograph', the book will draw on original research and advance critical understanding of Canadian literature, but will also have pedagogical value. That is, it will attend to the ways in which teaching shapes current understandings of the Canadian canon, and it will be accessible to students, particularly postgraduates seeking to develop new research directions.
《加拿大文学》是《爱丁堡批判指南》系列的一卷,将探讨加拿大英语文学经典的构建、挑战和扩展方式,并分析最常用于解释其中心特征的不断变化的文化和理论框架。这本书将探讨加拿大文学目前是如何研究和理论化,并分析后殖民理论,女权主义和酷儿批评,跨大西洋的观点,名人理论和后现代主义对加拿大文学研究的影响。引言和结论将明确讨论这些问题,它们也将为我将在四个主题章节中介绍的个别文本的案例研究提供信息。这些章节将提供20位重要的加拿大作家的新阅读,将他们置于其国家文学史的背景下,并探索不同的批评方法。第一章,“种族,民族和移民”,将特别集中在土著加拿大人,移民身份和杂交的代表。白色殖民者和土著人民之间的遭遇将通过殖民文本的检查进行探讨,并将给予19世纪和20世纪的土著声音和移民社区的写作大量关注。作为案例研究的作者将是弗朗西斯布鲁克,波琳约翰逊,迈克尔翁达杰,托马斯金和汤臣公路。第二章,“荒野,城市,地区”,将作为其出发点的经典加拿大荒野叙事,瓦库斯塔,并探讨其遗产,后来的作家。荒野和驻军之间的关系,以及后来的森林、小镇和城市之间的关系,一直被认为是加拿大文学的中心关注点,近几十年来,这个主题在一系列自觉的后现代小说中被重新审视和模仿。本章还将按地区考察加拿大的文学建设。讨论的作者将LM蒙哥马利,埃塞尔威尔逊,罗伯逊戴维斯,卡罗尔希尔兹和爱丽丝芒罗。第三章将介绍一个不太令人期待的话题,但我认为这是加拿大文学的核心:“欲望”。加拿大的风景诗学与身体和欲望密切相关,在当代写作中,探索国家历史的冲动也与色情有关。本章将探讨土地,性和历史之间的相互关系,在加拿大的一些最感性的写作。它还将解决同性恋欲望,加拿大文学的一个重要组成部分,直到最近才得到足够的重视。作者将考虑玛莎奥斯滕索,伦纳德科恩,约翰埃斯科,安妮迈克尔斯和迪翁布兰德。最后一章,“历史和邮政/殖民”,解决了从19世纪世纪初开始在加拿大文学中明显的历史魅力。它将开始与加拿大长诗,这往往需要一个历史主题的既定体裁,并继续讨论后现代文本的扩散,质疑历史和文学之间的关系。它也将检查殖民和后殖民文学之间的互文联系,考虑的价值-和困难-阅读加拿大文学在后殖民理论的光。讨论的作者将是EJ普拉特,玛格丽特劳伦斯,玛格丽特阿特伍德,乔伊小川和达芙妮马拉特。一个'交叉专著',这本书将借鉴原始研究和推进加拿大文学的批判性理解,但也将具有教学价值。也就是说,它将出席的方式,其中教学形状目前的加拿大佳能的理解,它将是学生,特别是寻求发展新的研究方向的研究生访问。
