The research encompasses English Canadian and French Canadian novels and poems which represent the passenger experience on a liner. Beginning with narratives of emigration, the discussion moves on to travel writing in the context of empire and then to stories of shipwreck and of war, fictions of the voyage as rite of passage, evocations of the glamour of interwar liner travel, and finally to writing about holidays.Abstract:Cet article explore le motif du paquebot dans l'imaginaire littéraire canadien, en se demandant comment il s'est transformé d'une machine fonctionnelle en un symbole puissant, et comment il est devenu un objet de fantasme et d'inquiétude.

In her story 'Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage', the compelling depiction of the major characters' clothing fulfills myriad functions. First, Mrs Willets's coat serves as an 'objective correlative' invested with symbolic values, which endows Johanna with power and strength as well as connecting her to the past. Moreover, McCauley's three-piece suit becomes the external indicator of his financial and social viability as well as of his authoritative power over the disadvantaged. What is more, the changes of Sabitha's dress code are suggestive of her social upgrading, her increasing distance from her bygone friendship with Edith, and her striking detachment from her past. In short, as the specific product of cultural, social and gender contexts, clothing not only plays a significant role in revealing the characters' personality, identity reconstruction and psychology, but also enriches and enlarges readers' understanding of the story as a whole. Ultimately, clothing can be read as a multilayered literary trope that casts light on the complexity of characterisation and the ambiguities in Munro's stories as well as her superb narrative art and vision.Abstract:Alice Munro accorde une grande attention aux vêtements dans ses nouvelles, ce qui trouve de nombreuses preuves dans la description substantielle et les détails somptueux accordés aux vêtements des personnages. Dans son histoire 'Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage', la représentation fascinante des vêtements des personnages principaux remplit une myriade de fonctions. Premièrement, le manteau de Mme Willets sert de « corrélatif objectif » investi de valeurs symboliques, qui confère à Johanna du pouvoir et de la force et la relie au passé. De plus, le costume trois pièces de McCauley devient l'indicateur externe de sa viabilité financière et sociale ainsi que de son pouvoir autoritaire sur les défavorisés. En outre, les changements de code vestimentaire de Sabitha suggèrent son ascension sociale, son éloignement croissant de son amitié passée avec Edith et son détachement frappant de son passé. En bref, en tant que produit spécifique des contextes culturels, sociaux et de genre, les vêtements jouent non seulement un rôle important dans la révélation de la personnalité, de la reconstruction identitaire et de la psychologie des personnages, mais ils enrichissent et élargissent également la compréhension des lecteurs de l'histoire dans son ensemble. En fin de compte, les vêtements peuvent être lus comme un trope littéraire à plusieurs niveaux qui met en lumière la complexité de la caractérisation et les ambiguïtés des histoires de Munro ainsi que son superbe art narratif et sa vision.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":"69 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45210502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scott","doi":"10.3828/bjcs.2022.9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3828/bjcs.2022.9","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:It has been forty years since Aboriginal rights were enshrined in the Canadian constitution. We have seen the recognition of First Nations claims to unceded land, the negotiation of self-government agreements, and the rise of Indigenous leadership across Canada. We have also seen communities without clean water, the arrests of First Nation activists protesting pipeline developments, and the continued social and economic struggles of First Nation peoples across the country. It seems, therefore, that this might be an appropriate moment for a reflection on the last forty years of Aboriginal rights in the Canadian constitution. As such, this article examines the key legal judgements in Canadian jurisprudence to reflect on how the entrenchment of Aboriginal rights has legally affected First Nations in Canada, and question whether we have reached the limits of these decisions. The article is followed by a bibliography of key literature on First Nations rights and the constitution.Abstract:Cela fait quarante ans que les droits des Autochtones sont inscrits dans la Constitution canadienne. Nous avons vu la reconnaissance des revendications des Premières Nations sur des terres non cédées, la négociation d'ententes d'autonomie gouvernementale et la montée du leadership Autochtone partout au Canada. Nous avons également vu des communautés sans eau potable, les arrestations de militants des Premières Nations qui protestaient contre le développement du pipeline et les luttes sociales et économiques continues des peuples des Premières Nations à travers le pays. Il semble donc que ce soit le moment opportun pour une réflexion sur les quarante dernières années de droits Autochtones dans la Constitution canadienne. À ce titre, cet article examine les principaux jugements juridiques de la jurisprudence canadienne afin de réfléchir à la manière dont l'enchâssement des droits Autochtones a légalement affecté les Premières Nations au Canada et de se demander si nous avons atteint les limites de la loi pour parvenir à la réconciliation.

A maturing sense of nationhood in each country has spurred debate as to the continuing relevance of remaining constitutional ties with Britain. This article aims to test whether support toward monarchy is explained by ethnic nationalism, a conception of nationhood founded on cultural unity. To do so, we rely on national electoral studies, covering the period from 1964 to 2021. This data allows for a fine-grained description of the attitudes toward monarchy among various sub-groups. Our findings suggest that reluctance to break away from the monarchy can be understood as part of a nationalist response to growing ethnic diversity and an accompanying perception of cultural threat. These findings contribute to a better understanding of public attitudes toward the monarchy in three Commonwealth countries.Abstract:Depuis plusieurs décennies, les Canadiens, les Australiens et les Néo-Zélandais sont divisés face à la perspective de former une république, et donc d'abolir la monarchie. À l'heure actuelle, alors que les trois pays font toujours partie du Commonwealth, une partie importante de chacune de ces populations espère toujours voir son pays rompre tout lien constitutionnel avec la Grande-Bretagne. Cet article examine dans quelle mesure l'appui à la monarchie peut s'expliquer par une forme de nationalisme ethnique, une conception de la nation fondée sur l'unité culturelle. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur des études électorales nationales, couvrant la période de 1964 à 2021. Ces données permettent entre autres une description granulaire des attitudes envers la monarchie dans divers sous-groupes de la population. Les résultats suggèrent que la réticence à rejeter la monarchie s'explique notamment comme une réaction face à une diversité culturelle croissante ainsi qu'une perception de menace culturelle. Plus généralement, cet article contribue à une meilleure compréhension des facteurs qui structurent les attitudes pro-monarchie dans trois pays du Commonwealth.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"143 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42824954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He has been an important source for nineteenth-century Black history for both American and Canadian scholars, yet no analysis of his work exists. Landon's selectivity in citing sources, his recurrent topics, and his tone and diction together generate a sense of the Black presence in Ontario as a historical romance more than a search for equality, a romance that came to an end, and a search that was perhaps perceived to be no longer necessary once American Emancipation was secured. His work, though ground-breaking and well intentioned, orients readers to a narrative in which early 'Canada' saves refugees from American cruelty, and thus may have contributed to the mythology of Canada's benevolence on white–Black race relations, a key trait of Canada's anti-American nationalism to this day.Abstract:L'historien canadien blanc Fred Landon (1880–1969) figure parmi les premiers à avoir écrit au sujet des Noirs ayant trouvé refuge au milieu du XIXe siècle dans l'Ouest du Canada. Son travail est remarquable par l'attention toute particulière qu'il attache aux publications d'écrivains et d'abolitionnistes blancs ou noirs couvrant cet épisode historique et par le soin qu'il prend de mettre sur un même plan leurs contributions aux connaissances historiques de cette période. Il fut un point de référence important sur l'histoire des Noirs au XIXe siècle pour les universitaires américains et canadiens, et malgré cela, aucune analyse de son travail n'est disponible. Le choix de Landon dans la citation de certaines sources, la récurrence des sujets, ainsi que le ton et la diction de son écriture donnent l'impression que la présence Noire en Ontario est fondée d'avantage sur la promotion d'un roman historique plutôt que sur une volonté d'établir des rapports égalitaires. Le roman néanmoins finit par perdre de son souffle tandis que les velléités d'égalité ne furent sans doute plus à l'ordre du jour dès lors que l'émancipation américaine fût assurée. Même si son travail est novateur et bien intentionné, Landon oriente ses lecteurs au moyen d'un récit par lequel le Canada, à ses commencements, sauve les réfugiés de la cruauté américaine, et contribue de la sorte à renforcer la mythologie de la bienveillance du Canada dans les relations raciales entre Noirs et Blancs, un trait essentiel de l'anti-américanisme propre au nationalisme Canadien jusqu'à aujourd'hui.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"217 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48417710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As this article demonstrates, this arbitrary action was taken without regard to individual circumstances and without due process or appeal, simply because of the sexuality of those targeted. Presumptions were made– and acted upon–about a supposed link between homosexuality and disloyalty, with a consequently imagined threat to national security. Although the implementation of the purges by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Security Service (RCMPSS) was undoubtedly zealous and harsh, that conduct took place within a framework that was constructed by policymakers in the Privy Council Office, overseen by senior public servants and ultimately sanctioned by successive Canadian cabinets. As this examination shows, the RCMPSS acted, however severely, with authority granted to it by others who would later try to distance themselves from responsibility and pose as sympathetic to those purged. In fact, this was not the drastic misapplication of a measured policy, as sometimes contended, but a deliberate, malevolent, and ultimately mistaken attempt to deal with an imagined threat.Abstract:Les purges des gays de la fin des années 1950 jusqu'à la fin des années 1970 étaient les seuls licenciements à grande échelle de la fonction publique de toute l'histoire du Canada. Comme le démontre cette analyse, cette action arbitraire a été prise sans égard pour les circonstances individuelles, sans procédure régulière ni appel, tout simplement en raison de l'orientation sexuelle des personnes visées. Des suppositions ont été faites–et ont abouti à des actions–concernant un lien supposé entre l'homosexualité et la déloyauté, qui était censé constituer une menace pour la sécurité nationale. Bien que la mise en œuvre des purges par le Service de sécurité de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada ait été, sans doute, acharnée et sévère, cette conduite a eu lieu dans le cadre d'une politique formulée au sein du Bureau du Conseil privé, supervisée par des hauts fonctionnaires et en fin de compte sanctionnée par des Conseils des ministres successifs. Comme cette analyse le démontre, le Service de sécurité de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada a agi avec l'autorité qui lui avait été accordée par d'autres, qui, par la suite, ont essayé de se distancier de toute responsabilité, et se sont présentés comme sympathiques aux personnes purgées. En fait, il ne s'agissait pas d'une mauvaise application d'une politique mesurée, comme certains ont soutenu, mais d'une tentative volontaire, malveillante et finalement malavisée, de faire face à une menace imaginaire.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"189 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45030176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article I explore the many strategies and devices Eaton invented for her travel writing and argue that 'Wing Sing of Los Angeles on His Travels' is of great significance in the criticism of Eaton's writing as it manifests a progressive set of identity politics. Eaton dismantles the binary opposition between self and other by writing as another; that is, by taking on a persona that enables her to see through another's eyes, and thus to neutralise the orientalist gaze and promote individuality over group stereotypes. The travel series sparkles in many places with perspectives and conceptions well ahead of its time, which demonstrates clearly that Eaton embraces an ideal of tolerance and openness.Abstract:Avec la parution de Becoming Sui Sin Far (2016), les récits de voyage d'Edith Eaton, écrivaine chinoise nord-américaine, uniques en termes de genre et de style, sont disponibles en version complète pour la première fois. Dans cet article, nous allons explorer les nombreuses stratégies et dispositifs qu'Eaton a inventés pour la réalisation de ses œuvres. Nous essayerons de montrer que 'Wing Sing of Los Angeles on His Travels' est d'une grande importance pour l'étude et la compréhension des œuvres d'Eaton, car ce récit manifeste un ensemble de politiques identitaires, avec un style d'écriture qui se distingue de celui de la plupart des autres œuvres de l'auteure. Eaton démantèle l'opposition binaire entre soi et l'autre en écrivant comme un autre, c'est-à-dire en adoptant un personnage qui lui permette de voir à travers les yeux d'un autre afin de neutraliser le regard orientaliste et de mettre en valeur l'individualité plutôt que les stéréotypes de groupe. Ces séries de voyages révèlent en de nombreux endroits des perspectives et des conceptions bien en avance sur leur temps, ce qui démontre clairement qu'Eaton adhère à un idéal de tolérance et d'ouverture.","PeriodicalId":41591,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"59 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45618730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
