Canadian Literature and the TransCanada Institute (U of Guelph) invite submissions for a special issue on shifts in the field of Canadian literature. CanLit may play a major role in Canada’s cultural economies, but it has become apparent that its study can no longer take place in isolation from the larger forces that shape the nation, global relations and the corporatization of higher education. The task of identifying the implications of these shifts and, above all, of devising constructive ways of responding to them involves a long-term and multilateral project that can only be a shared endeavour, undertaken in interdisciplinary and collaborative terms. Current transnational forces have destabilized the “national myth” established in the 1960s and 1970s. Such questions as “is Canada post-colonial?” intersect with formulations such as “multicultural citizenship,” “white civility” or “recovering Canada” in ways that require new mappings of a shifting field. We invite submissions that critically examine the disciplinary and institutional frameworks within which Canadian literature is produced, disseminated and taught from an interdisciplinary perspective.
