Écrire au-delà de la fin des temps ? Les littératures au Canada et au Québec
Writing Beyond the End Times? The Literatures of Canada and Quebec

Herausgegeben von Ursula Mathis-Moser und Marie Carrière

Jenseits der Endzeit schreiben? Dieser Sammelband untersucht, wie das Gefühl der Krise, das uns bisweilen zu übermannen scheint, die literarischen Texte Kanadas und Quebecs in englischer und französischer Sprache begleitet und verändert, und umgekehrt, wie Literatur und Literaturkritik sich aufmachen, den sozialen, ökonomischen und ideologischen Ungewissheiten, in denen wir leben, entgegenzuwirken.

18th International Baltic Conference on Canadian Studies, the Latvian Association for Canadian Studies and The Centre for Applied Linguistics at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Latvia, Friday, October 5, 2018

Today’s Canada is more diverse than ever before, according to the 2016 census. Thus, the upcoming conference offers an opportunity to identify political, social, economic and cultural factors inherent to Canadian diversity as well as opportunities and pressures fostered by the same. The speakers are encouraged to reflect on the vibrant diversity of Canada as well as to discuss the ways of conceptualising Canadian experience of transformations. We welcome proposals for papers in any area of Canadian Studies as well as comparative area and cultural studies where Canada remains the focal point of reference and comparison. We especially encourage participants to submit suggestions for panels and roundtables, but individual presentations are also welcome.

It is a blended conference and invites both face-to-face and virtual presenters. The virtual presentations are delivered by presenters who cannot attend in person but whose papers have been accepted for the conference. Each virtual presentation consists of: (1) a pre-recorded video (paper presentation), (2) 10-minute synchronous question-answer session via Skype.

Deadline for proposals: September 5, 2018.

Lecture: „Changing Canadian Identities in the Shadow of the US Giant“ with Prof. Matt Sheedy

Deutsch-Kanadischen Gesellschaft in cooperation with Amerikahaus NRW, Osborne Clarke, Innere Kanalstraße 15, 50823 Köln, April 25, 7.30 pm

Together with the Amerika Haus NRW Deutsch-Kanadische Gesellschaft (DKG) invites you to a talk on „Changing Canadian Identities in the Shadow of the US Giant“ with Prof. Matt Sheedy in Cologne. Debating national identity is a touchy subject in any part of the world, especially during times of crisis when „enemies“ and scapegoats naturally arise. In the age of social media, however, communities that have historically been marginalized are now able to challenge the status quo in ways that were unthinkable less than a generation ago. In this lecture Matt Sheedy argues that while Canada has always defined itself against the United States (as more peaceful, more tolerant, etc.), its identity has always been more precarious than meets the eye. With special attention to the political reigns of Stephan Harper and Barak Obama, as well as the current governments of Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump, Prof. Sheedy will highlight some of the ways in which ideology and national interests have crossed borders in the age of neo-liberalism and social media, focusing on a of variety issues that intersect both countries in complex ways. These include the “war on terror” and Islamophobia, the tar sands and the construction of pipelines, as well as social movements such as Black Lives Matter and the Indigenous uprising known as Idle No More.

Prof. Matt Sheedy is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Religion at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, and Visiting Professor in the Department of North American Studies at the University of Bonn. Prof. Sheedy’s research focuses on theories of secularism and religion, as well as representations of Christianity, atheism, Islam, and Indigenous traditions in popular and political culture in North America. He is currently working on a book that offers a critical look at Jürgen Habermas’s theory of religion in the public sphere.
