In metaphor, one thing substitutes for another: the dumpster fire takes the place of the field of relations that creates the conditions for controversies and crises. In contrast, metonymy is contiguous: its readability depends on showing the conventional, assumed, or actual relationships between one thing and another. Metaphor conceals connections; metonymy works by virtue of them. Three recent Canadian plays help me think about what metonymy can add to discourse about doing the work: Daniel MacIvor’s Who Killed Spalding Gray? (2017), Jess Dobkin’s The Magic Hour (2017), and Marcus Youssef and James Long’s Winners and Losers (2015). My strategy is metonymical like “CanLit” is: I read each play for an insight it might offer within the signifying field of Canadian literature, culture, and nation.","PeriodicalId":44701,"journal":{"name":"CANADIAN LITERATURE","volume":"1 1","pages":"114-122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46061720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dans Chroniques de Kitchike de Louis-Karl Picard-Sioui (Wendat) et de Breviaire du matricule 082 de Maya Cousineau-Mollen (Innu), ces deux nouvelles voix litteraires illustrent la depossession identitaire des leur. Chez P.-Sioui, la reappropriation passe par l’humour et les jeux semantiques. Dans ses nouvelles, il illustre les travestissements identitaires en jouant sur les vocables et en soulignant le caractere fictif de la connaissance des langues ancestrales. Pour C.-Mollen, la reappropriation de la narration identitaire s’exprime plutot par le sarcasme et la colere. Si, la poetesse joue sur la langue coloniale legislative ayant reduit l’identite « indienne » a des chiffres, elle y repond par la resurgence de l’Innu-aimun. Cela dit, sa reappropriation est egalement celle de sa condition de femme autochtone revendiquant sa sexualite liberee des fictions coloniales de la princesse ou de la « squaw ».","PeriodicalId":44701,"journal":{"name":"CANADIAN LITERATURE","volume":"1 1","pages":"59-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45936598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With citational poetics, I see Derksen’s writing copy and comment on multiple textual forms in order to depict the poem’s role in social observation alongside its ability mobilize and array these textual forms against structures that far exceed the structure of the poem itself. The Vestiges in turn displays how the disparate materials of the long neoliberal moment and the traces of its manifold processes—from critical theory and chart topping hits to overthrown governments—can be brought to bear on the present, and specifically how mobilizing these different kinds of textual and historical matter locate citational poetics within a wider project of anti-capitalist research.","PeriodicalId":44701,"journal":{"name":"CANADIAN LITERATURE","volume":"1 1","pages":"38-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46524808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
