Summary

Français English

This issue of Études Canadiennes / Canadian Studies will be dedicated to fresh perspectives and new insights on the theme of solitude(s) in Canadian literature. The editors would particularly like to see proposals that explore the linguistic and cultural interaction between the two founding solitudes and the way French and English Canada depict each other (or not) in literature and in the visual arts. In a similar vein, proposals are welcomed on the representation of First Nations, often referred to as Canada’s Third Solitude, with a special interest in works by Canadian Indigenous writers and artists. So too are proposals on the host of other solitudes in the country, which share with Canada’s founding minority communities similar concerns with cultural identity that bring into play issues evolving around recognition of the Other, inclusion, borders and boundaries.

Presentation

The journal is pleased to announce an upcoming special issue on the theme of solitude(s), under supervision of guest editors Cécile Fouache (Université de Rouen) and Lorie-Anne Rainville (Université de Caen), as well as Laurence Cros, editor-in-chief. After the celebrations of Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017, and in these times of a national quest for reconciliation with First Nations, the journal is seeking articles that bring fresh perspectives and new insights to the theme of solitude(s) in Canadian literature. Although the theme remains broad, the editors would particularly like to see proposals that explore the linguistic and cultural interaction between the two founding solitudes and the way French and English Canada depict each other (or not) in literature and in the visual arts. In a similar vein, proposals are welcomed on the representation of First Nations, often referred to as Canada’s Third Solitude, with a special interest in works by Canadian Indigenous writers and artists. So too are proposals on the host of other solitudes in the country, which share with Canada’s founding minority communities similar concerns with cultural identity that bring into play issues evolving around recognition of the Other, inclusion, borders and boundaries – literally and figuratively – and the perception of other forms of limits and categories that contribute to maintaining or to “breaking down solitudes” to use former Governor General Michaëlle Jean’s motto. Please note that these ideas are indicative, not comprehensive.
