Selves and Subjectivities

Reflections on Canadian Arts and Culture
Herausgeber: Mannani, Manijeh

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

As critic Diana Brydon has argued, contemporary Canadian writers are "not transcending nation but resituating it." Drawing together themes of gender and sexuality, trauma and displacement, performativity, and linguistic diversity, Selves and Subjectivities offers an exciting new contribution to the multivocal dialogue surrounding the Canadian sense of identity.
