    Abstract: Canadian novels have witnessed a movement from description to more different analytical and interpretative directions. Margaret Atwood's oeuvres are belonged to the postmodern literary field of feminist writing. Her fictions show a severe alertness of the relationship between chains and slavery, i.e. between women's requirement for relationships with others and her requirements for freedom and autonomy. In this paper, The Handmaid's Tale, Bodily Harm, Surfacing, and The Edible Woman will be surveyed in a direct relationship between politics, violence and victimization of female protagonists. An examination on Margaret Atwood's novels demonstrates that she is pioneer in the dimension of time by being a revolter against the patriarchal society

    Abstract: Love is used in different ways in literature. The treatment of love in the love stories of Janette Oke are nearly similar and all show the roles that love plays in life of people and how deal with it. Her novels are among the finest works in Canadian literature without whom the world of Canadian literature would be dark and empty. Love is the eventual weakness, but philosophy, religion and art during time have portrayed it in its place as a way to a higher level of being beyond the pain and transformation of every day. This paper points out to different kinds of love relationship in Oke's fictions

    Abstract: While phrases such as ‘Capitaine Crounche’ and ‘beurre d’arachide’ are familiar to, and easily taken for granted by, most English Canadians, who tend to encounter linguistic duality in their daily lives in a number of ways, the politics underlying such seemingly harmless words are significant. Indeed, no other issue has played as central a role in Canadian social and political development as has language, with French-English linguistic tensions and considerations affecting numerous aspects of Canadian life, including foreign policy, the awarding of government contracts and indeed, the labelling of food packaging. While much public and scholarly attention has been paid to the language issue and the francophone population of Québec, less has been paid to language and francophones outside of the main concentration of Canada’s French speakers. While geographically dispersed, and vastly outnumbered, Canada’s francophone minority communities and their identities are nevertheless an impor

    Abstract: The largely unregulated early years of Canadian radio were vital to development of broadcasting policy. The Report of the Royal Commission on Radio Broadcasting in 1929 and American broadcasting both changed the direction of Canadian broadcasting, but were mitigated by the early, largely unregulated years. Broadcasters operated initially as small, independent, and local broadcasters, then, national networks developed in stages during the 1920s and 1930s. The late adoption of radio broadcasting policy to build a national network in Canada allowed other practices to take root in the wake of other examples, in particular, American commercial broadcasting. By 1929 when the Aird Report recommended a national network, the potential impact of the report was shaped by the path of early broadcasting and the shifts forced on Canada by American broadcasting and policy. Eventually Canada forged its own course that pulled in both directions, permitting both private commercial networks and publi

  10. Depicting the climate-changing Arctic in theatre: polar bears, humanity, and the breath of life

    ger: In meiner Masterarbeit analysiere ich die Klimawandel-Theaterstücke Sila (2015) und The Breathing Hole (2017). Diese Stücke spielen in der Arktis und wurden von kanadischen Dramatikerinnen geschrieben. In beiden Stücken spielen Eisbären eine wichtige Rollen. Klimaaktivisten kritisieren die Tatsache, dass das Leiden von Eisbären als Paradebeispiel des Klimawandels angepriesen wird, weil der Klimawandel als humanitäre Krise behandelt werden sollte, die jetzt bereits Inuit und andere in der Arktis lebende indigene Stämme betrifft. In den Medien und in den Künsten sollte die Krise daher in erster Linie so dargestellt werden, dass sie den Menschen als Opfer darstellt. In meiner Arbeit argumentiere ich, dass Eisbären eine wichtige Rolle in Klimawandel-Stücken spielen. Ich gebe eine Einführung in die Theorie der Sympathie und wie sie durch geografische Distanz und kulturelle Unterschiede beeinflusst werden kann, und analysiere die Bedeutung des Theaters als Kunstform, die das Publikum zum Handeln animieren kann. Ausgehend von der Rezeptionstheorie argumentiere ich, dass Eisbären in Theaterstücken zum Thema Klimawandel anthropomorph dargestellt werden, um das Publikum dazu zu bewegen, Sympathie für die Tiere zu empfinden, und zeige Beispiele aus den bereits erwähnten Stücken auf die meine Argumente unterstützen. Des Weiteren zeige ich auch, wie Eisbären die kulturelle Kluft zwischen Inuit Charakteren und dem westlichen Publikum in diesen Stücken zu überbrücken helfen, und komme zu dem Fazit, dass diese Tiere in Klimawandel-Theaterstücken vor allem darauf aufmerksam machen, dass es Menschlichkeit benötigt um aktiv gegen den Klimawandel anzukämpfen. eng: In my thesis I analyze the climate change plays Sila (2015) and The Breathing Hole (2017). These plays are set in the Arctic and were written by Canadian playwrights, and both feature polar bears as important roles. Climate change activists are criticizing the fact that polar bears are the face of climate change, even though it should be treated as a humanitarian crisis that already affects Inuit and other indigenous tribes living in the Arctic. Therefore, in the media and in the arts, the crisis should be portrayed as affecting humans first and foremost. In my thesis, I argue that polar bears play an important role in climate change theatre. I am giving an introduction to the theory of sympathy and how it can be influenced by geographical distance and cultural differences, and analyze the importance of theatre as a form of art that has the power to call an audience to action. Based on reception theory, I then argue that polar bears in climate change plays are used in connection with humanization and interconnectedness in order to stir the audience towards feeling sympathy for the animals and rowards wanting to become active in climate change activism--a process that I illustrate with examples of these strategies in both plays. Furthermore, I also highlight how polar bears help bridge the cultural gap between Inuit characters and the Western audience in these plays, and conclude that as for climate change plays, these animals also have the ability to foreground the humanity that needs to be displayed in order to actively fight climate change.

    CanLit–the commonly used short form for English Canadian Literature as a cultural formation and industry—has been at the heart of several recent public controversies. Why? Because CanLit is breaking open to reveal the accepted injustices at its heart. It is imperative that these public controversies and the issues that sparked them be subject to careful and thorough discussion and critique. Refuse provides a critical and historical context to help readers understand conversations happening about CanLit presently. One of its goals is to foreground the perspectives of those who have been changing the conversation about what CanLit is and what it could be. Topics such as literary celebrity, white power, appropriation, class, rape culture, and the ongoing impact of settler colonialism are addressed by a diverse gathering of writers from across Canada. This volume works to avoid a single metanarrative response to these issues, but rather brings together a cacophonous multitude of voices.

    Exploring representations of queer aging in North American fiction, this book illuminates a rich yet previously unheeded intersection within American culture. At a time when older LGBTQ persons gradually gain visibility in gerontological studies and in the media, this work provides a critical perspective concerned with the ways in which the narratives and images we have at our disposal shape our realities. Each chapter shines a spotlight on a significant work of queer fiction, beginning with post-WWII novels and ending with filmic representations of the 2010s, exploring narratives as both reflections and agents of broader cultural negotiations concerning queer sexuality and aging. As a result, the book not only redresses queer aging’s history of invisibility, but also reveals narratives of queer aging to be particularly apt in casting new light on the ways in which growing older is perceived and conceptualized in North American culture.

    ger: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Familienzusammenhänge und -konflikte in autobiographischen Texten, Romanen und Kurzgeschichten von chinesisch-kanadischen AutorInnen. Die behandelten Werke sind die Kurzgeschichten ``Cold Food'' und ``The Lucky Wedding'' von Judy Fong Bates, ``Simple Recipes'' von Madeleine Thien und ``Prairie Night 1939'' von Paul Yee sowie die Romane Diary of a Street Kid von Evelyn Lau, Disappearing Moon Café von Sky Lee und The Concubine's Children von Denise Chong sowie das provokative Werk der Amerikanerin Amy Chua Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.Die Arbeit beginnt mit einem kurzen Abriss über die Geschichte chinesischer Einwanderer in Kanada, gefolgt von einem kurzen Einblick in die chinesisch-kanadische Migrantenliteratur. Schwerpunkt des ersten Kapitels ist die Einwanderungsgeschichte, welche in allen Werken einen prominenten Raum einnimmt. Darauf folgt eine Untersuchung der Darstellung von Familienstrukturen und Traditionen basierend auf einer vergleichenden Beleuchtung der Werke. Dritter Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit ist das Thema Ernährung, welches ein integraler Teil der chinesischen Kultur ist und, wie die Texte zeigen, einen wichtigen Punkt im Leben der chinesischen Einwanderer ausmacht, um die Verbindung mit dem Heimatland China beizubehalten. Im Zentrum des Kapitels ``Erziehung und Arbeit'' steht die literarische Reflexion des alltäglichen Lebens: Welcher Tätigkeit gehen die Einwanderer nach und was machen deren Kinder in Kanada? Das abschließende Kapitel widmet sich den interkulturellen Konflikten und Problemen, welche in den Romanen und Kurzgeschichten vermittelt werden.Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass alle Werke dem Thema Konflikt untergeordnet sind, besonders in Beziehung zur Kultur. Trotz des Bestrebens, die kanadische Kultur außen vor zu lassen, können die Familien in den untersuchten Werken von Chong, Fong Bates, Lau, Lee, Thien und Yee die chinesische Kultur nicht von den kanadischen Einflüssen getrennt halten. eng: This diploma thesis explores the family structures and culture conflicts in Chinese-Canadian narratives of migration. The discussed narratives are the short stories ``Cold Food'' and ``The Lucky Wedding'' by Judy Fong Bates, ``Simple Recipes'' by Madelein Thien, ``Prairie Night 1939'' by Paul Yee and the novels Diary of a Street Kid by Evelyn Lau, Disappearing Moon Café by Sky Lee, The Concubine's Children by Denise Chong as well as Amy Chua's provocative bestseller on education Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.The thesis first offers a short introduction to the history of the Chinese in Canada, followed by aspects of Chinese-Canadian immigrant literature. The first chapter focuses on the story of migration which is an integral part in all the narratives discussed. It is followed by a discussion of the family structures and traditions as they are reflected in the respective narratives. In the center of the next section is the topic of food which is a significant part of the Chinese culture and an important link to their native country China. The chapter ``Education and Occupation'' deals with the narrative mediation of the daily lives of Chinese-Canadian immigrants in Canada: What kind of jobs do they pursue? What are their children doing in Canada? The final chapter is dedicated to the intercultural conflicts and problems rendered in the discussed narratives. This thesis aims to demonstrate that all works discussed here portray the underlying topic of conflict, especially in relation to culture. Despite their best efforts to fight off Canadian influences, immigrant families portrayed in the works of Chong, Fong Bates, Lau, Lee, Thien and Yee cannot keep their Chinese culture separated from outside influences.

    ger: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Aspekten des Regionalismus und untersucht die atlantisch kanadische Region an der Ostküste Kanadas. Die Arbeit zeigt, wie diese Region in Kurzgeschichten von atlantisch kanadischen Autoren dargestellt wird. Die Ostküste Kanadas wird häufig rein als schöne Urlaubsdestination gesehen. In der Literatur dieser Gegend hingegen, werden viele problematische Aspekte, die diese Region prägen, aufgegriffen und literarisch dargestellt. Beginnend nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg, durchlebten die maritimen Provinzen eine Zeit des ökonomischen Verfalls. Auch heute noch ist die wirtschaftliche Lage in diesen Provinzen eher problematisch. Die Region ist geprägt von einem Mangel an Arbeitsplätzen, weswegen unzählige Menschen die Region laufend verlassen. Weiters sind die maritimen Provinzen stark vom Tourismus, einer der wenigen florierenden Sparten in der Region, abhängig. Im theoretischen Teil der Arbeit wird das Konzept ‚Regionalismus‘ erklärt und definiert. Im Fokus der folgenden Kapitel stehen Kurzgeschichten von Alistair MacLeod, Lesley Choyce, Sheldon Currie, Lynn Coady, Michael Crummey, Wayne Johnston und Lisa Moore. Um im formalen Rahmen der Arbeit zu bleiben, war es unmöglich auf alle atlantisch kanadischen Provinzen einzugehen. Deswegen habe ich entschieden, die Provinzen Nova Scotia und Newfoundland zu untersuchen. In den Kurzgeschichten wird der Alltag von den Kanadiern, die an der Ostküste leben, beschrieben. Weiters werden die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Schwierigkeiten, die das Leben in diesen Regionen betreffen, durch die Kurzgeschichten dargestellt. Im nächsten Kapitel der Arbeit werden die Meinungen und Ansichten von Experten auf dem Gebiet des Regionalismus und der atlantischen kanadischen Literatur zusammengefasst. Das letzte Kapitel basiert auf einer Feldstudie, die mit kanadischen Studierenden an der University of New Brunswick durchgeführt wurde. Die Ergebnisse der Studie werden angeführt und diskutiert. eng: This thesis focuses on aspects of regionalism and examines how the region of Atlantic Canada is portrayed in various short stories by Atlantic Canadian authors. Atlantic Canada is a region that is often seen as a beautiful, picturesque holiday destination, whereas in literature many of the more problematic aspects that afflict this region are taken up in a critical manner. The Maritimes went through a phase of huge economic decline starting after the First World War and ever since the economic situation in Atlantic Canada has been rather problematic. The region heavily depends on tourism and there is a lack of jobs, which leads to numerous people leaving the region every year. In the theoretical chapter of this thesis regionalism is described. The central focus in the following chapters is on short stories from Atlantic Canada and their depiction of regional aspects. The short stories dealt with in the thesis are exclusively written by authors from Atlantic Canada, such as Alistair MacLeod, Lesley Choyce, Sheldon Currie, Lynn Coady, Michael Crummey, Wayne Johnston and Lisa Moore. To narrow the scope of the thesis, only two Atlantic Canadian provinces, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, are concentrated on. The short stories portray the lives of Atlantic Canadians, the social and economic difficulties the region and the people living there are facing, the harsh environment in which people live and many more aspects of living in Atlantic Canada. Further, the thesis depicts the opinions of experts on the field of regionalism and Atlantic Canadian literature. The experts were interviewed and various questions from the interviews are discussed in the thesis. The last chapter of the thesis is based on a survey which was done with students at the University of New Brunswick. The students taking part filled out a questionnaire on Atlantic Canadian short stories and the importance of region. The evaluation of these questionnaires is summarised and discussed in the thesis.
