The essays gathered here range from treatments of early postcolonial gothic expression in Canadian literature to attempts to define a Canadian postcolonial gothic mode. Many of these texts wrestle with Canada's colonial past and with the voices and histories that were repressed in the push for national consolidation but emerge now as uncanny reminders of that contentious history. The haunting effect can be unsettling and enabling at the same time. In recent years, many Canadian authors have turned to the gothic to challenge dominant literary, political, and social narratives. In Canadian literature, the "postcolonial gothic" has been put to multiple uses, above all to figure experiences of ambivalence that have emerged from a colonial context and persisted into the present. As these essays demonstrate, formulations of a Canadian postcolonial gothic differ radically from one another, depending on the social and cultural positioning of who is positing it. Given the preponderance, in colonial discourse, of accounts that demonize otherness, it is not surprising that many minority writers have avoided gothic metaphors. In recent years, however, minority authors have shown an interest in the gothic, signalling an emerging critical discourse. This "spectral turn" sees minority writers reversing long-standing characterizations of their identity as "monstrous" or invisible in order to show their connections to and disconnection from stories of the nation."--Book cover |

The essays gathered here range from treatments of early postcolonial gothic expression in Canadian literature to attempts to define a Canadian postcolonial gothic mode. Many of these texts wrestle with Canada's colonial past and with the voices and histories that were repressed in the push for national consolidation but emerge now as uncanny reminders of that contentious history. The haunting effect can be unsettling and enabling at the same time. In recent years, many Canadian authors have turned to the gothic to challenge dominant literary, political, and social narratives. In Canadian literature, the "postcolonial gothic" has been put to multiple uses, above all to figure experiences of ambivalence that have emerged from a colonial context and persisted into the present. As these essays demonstrate, formulations of a Canadian postcolonial gothic differ radically from one another, depending on the social and cultural positioning of who is positing it. Given the preponderance, in colonial discourse, of accounts that demonize otherness, it is not surprising that many minority writers have avoided gothic metaphors. In recent years, however, minority authors have shown an interest in the gothic, signalling an emerging critical discourse. This "spectral turn" sees minority writers reversing long-standing characterizations of their identity as "monstrous" or invisible in order to show their connections to and disconnection from stories of the nation."--Book cover Gothic fiction (Literary genre), Canadian Literature Roman noir (Genre littéraire) canadien Postcolonialisme dans la littérature Histoire dans la littérature Ambivalence dans la littérature Roman canadien-anglais / 20e siècle / Histoire et critique LITERARY CRITICISM / American / General bisacsh Postkoloniale Literatur swd Schauerliteratur swd Literatur Gothic fiction (Literary genre) Postcolonialism in literature History in literature Ambivalence in literature Schauerliteratur (DE-588)4179419-9 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Postkoloniale Literatur (DE-588)4428936-4 gnd rswk-swf Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 g Postkoloniale Literatur (DE-588)4428936-4 s Schauerliteratur (DE-588)4179419-9 s Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s 2\p DE-604 Turcotte, Gerry Sonstige oth Sugars, Cynthia Conchita Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 1-55458-054-4 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=322895 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
