Trans.Can.Lit de Smaro Kamboureli

Trans.Can.Lit

Autor Smaro Kamboureli Editat de Roy Miki
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 noi 2007

Notăm cu interes apariția volumului Trans.Can.Lit, o lucrare ce propune o reconfigurare metodologică a studiilor literare canadiene. Structura materialului este organizată în jurul necesității de a depăși modelul „CanLit” tradițional, stabilit în anii '60, care se baza pe premise naționaliste ce nu mai răspund realităților globale contemporane. Volumul debutează cu o analiză a metamorfozelor disciplinei în contexte instituționale, semnată de Diana Brydon, și progresează spre interogații critice despre cetățenie, politici culturale și statutul scriitorilor din diaspora. Suntem de părere că această abordare este esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care cadrele academice influențează receptarea textului literar. Trans.Can.Lit extinde cadrul propus de Shifting the Ground of Canadian Literary Studies de Smaro Kamboureli cu date noi din perioada post-globalizare, punând un accent mai pronunțat pe termenii de „civilitate” și pe limitele „mondialității”. În comparație cu Transnational Canadas de Kit Dobson, care urmărește evoluția literaturii prin prisma globalizării economice, volumul coordonat de Smaro Kamboureli și Roy Miki se concentrează pe deconstrucția critică a instituției literare în sine. În contextul operei lui Smaro Kamboureli, lucrarea continuă preocupările din Scandalous Bodies privind politicile multiculturalismului, dar le mută într-o sferă mai largă, interdisciplinară. Progresia capitolelor, de la „Metamorfoze” la „Scanări Trans-naționale”, indică o acoperire exhaustivă a tensiunilor dintre local și global, oferind instrumente teoretice pentru o nouă gramatică culturală a Canadei.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte cercetătorilor și studenților la litere care doresc să înțeleagă evoluția critică a literaturii canadiene dincolo de granițele naționale. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă riguroasă asupra modului în care globalizarea și mișcările diasporice au forțat redefinirea curriculei academice. Este un instrument teoretic indispensabil pentru oricine studiază intersecția dintre politicile de stat, cetățenie și producția literară contemporană.

Despre autor

Smaro Kamboureli este profesor și deține catedra „Avie Bennett” în literatură canadiană la Universitatea din Toronto. Este recunoscută ca fondatoare a seriei TransCanada publicată de Wilfrid Laurier University, un proiect născut din conferințe interdisciplinare dedicate cercetării structurilor instituționale care modelează studiile literare. Opera sa, care include titluri precum Land/Relations și Retooling the Humanities, reflectă un interes constant pentru justiție, reprezentare culturală și provocările pe care „capitalismul cercetării” le aduce disciplinelor umaniste în mediul universitar canadian.

Descriere scurtă

The study of Canadian literature -- CanLit -- has undergone dramatic changes since it became an area of specialisation in the 1960s and '70s. As new global forces in the 1990s undermined its nation-based critical assumptions, its theoretical focus and research methods lost their immediacy. The contributors to "Trans.Can.Lit" address cultural policy, citizenship, white civility, and the celebrated status of diasporic writers, unabashedly recognising the imperative to transfigure the disciplinary and institutional frameworks within which Canadian literature is produced, disseminated, studied, taught, and imagined.
