Beskrivning

What are the fictions that shape Canadian engagements with the global? What frictions emerge from these encounters? In negotiating aesthetic and political approaches to Canadian cultural production within contexts of global circulation, this collection argues for the value of attending to narratorial, lyric, and theatrical conventions in dialogue with questions of epistemological and social justice. Using the twinned framing devices of crosstalk and cross-sighting, the contributing authors attend to how the interplay of the verbal and the visual maps public spheres of creative engagement today. Individual chapters present a range of methodological approaches to understanding national culture and creative labour in global contexts. Through their collective enactment of methodological crosstalk, they demonstrate the productivity of scholarly debate across differences of outlook, culture, and training. In highlighting convergences and disagreements, the book sharpens our understanding of how literary and critical conventions and theories operate within and across cultures.

Recensioner i media

``This stimulating collection of essays had its origins in a workshop entitled "Voice and Vision: Situating Canadian Culture Globally," held at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in 2008.... Thankfully...ample cross-references have made Crosstalk a far more unified collection than most conference-generated volumes. In the spirit of the book's title, the contributors have clearly engaged in a considerable amount of post-workshop dialogue and, thanks to this and the careful introduction, the collection does a fine job of answering the questions posed by the editors at the outset.... The success of this timely collection owes much to the work of the two editors.... Both have clearly put in long hours to ensure that the book's attempt to broaden the models used to debate Canadian imaginaries has become a significant intervention. The net result is impressive and one comes away from Crosstalk feeling that the multiple directions taken by the individual authors...have been long routes that have converged at a common crossroads.'' -- John Thieme -- Commonwealth Essays and Studies, Vol. 35, No. 2, Spring 2013
