Where Are the Voices Coming From: Canadian Culture and the Legacies of History Cross/Cultures 73

2004904201623XBrill 2004. New/New. Author: Coral Ann HowellsPublisher: BrillISBN: 9789042016231Release Date: 2004Languages: EnglishBinding: HardcoverNumber Of Pages: 289Details: This collection of essays focuses on Canadian history and its legacies as represented in novels and films in English and French produced in Canada mainly in the 1980s and 1990s. The approach is both cross-cultural and interdisciplinary aiming at articulating Canadian differences through a comparison of anglophone and francophone cultures illustrated by works treating some of the different groups which make up Canadian society – English-Canadian Québecois Acadian Native and ethnic minorities. The emphasis is on the problematic representation of Canadianness which is closely bound up with constructions of history and its legacies – dispossession criminality nomadism Gothicism the Maritime. The English/French language difference is emblematic of Canadian difference; the two-part arrangement with one section on Literature and the other on Film sets up the pattern of relationships between the two forms of cultural representation that these essays explore. Essays in the Literature section are on single texts by such writers as: Margaret Atwood Tomson Highway Ann-Marie MacDonald Anne Michaels and Alice Munro; Gabrielle Roy Anne Hébert Antonine Maillet Bernard Assiniwi and Régine Robin. The Film section with its mirror structure both supplements and amplifies this dialogue extending notions of Canadianness with its emphasis on voices from Quebec and Acadia traditionally ‘othered’ in Canadian history. Filmmakers treated include: Phillip Borsos Atom Egoyan Ted Kotcheff Mort Ransen and Vincent Ward; Denys Arcand Gilles Carle Alanis Obomsawin Léa Pool and Jacques Savoie.
