Despite Harper: International Perceptions of Canadian Literature and Culture - Softcover
The book pursues two aims. On the one hand it collects contributions from literature and cultural studies, history, methodology/didactics and geography in the field of Canadian Studies. All contributors are experts in their respective fields of research. Their essays introduce the general reader to special issues of Canadian Studies, but they also address the specialist as they reflect upon current research topics. With the publication of this collection the editors on the other hand have taken a decision in favour of representing the international character of Canadian Studies. Hence the book serves as an indicator of the rapid development of Canadian Studies inside and outside Canada in the recent past, even under impeding economic conditions.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: neu. 1. Auflage. Studien zur Anglistik und Amerikanistik, Band 26 170 pages. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------- REZENSION in: Anglistik, 27.2 (September 2016), pp. 192-194: "This highly readable and informative volume of essays on international perceptions of Canadian literature and culture testifies to the achievement of the founders of the Szczecin Canadian Studies Group [.] and to the important trans-border cooperation between German and Polish enthusiasts in the field of Canadian Studies. [.] This welcome collection offers many insightful introductory essays to various fascinating facets of the threatened but surviving field of Canadian Studies. The editors come from or teach in the Baltic landscape that Stephen Scobie writes about in the poems included. But this landscape (and its cultural dialogue with Canada) also finds its beautiful reflection on the cover of the volume in a First Nations Canadian's rendering of the Pomeranian gryphon meeting the Anishnawbe Thunderbird spirit: a spirited and inspiring encounter." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ Der Sammelband verfolgt zwei Ziele. Er führt zum einen Beiträge aus den Teildisziplinen Literatur-und Kulturwissenschaften, Geschichte, Didaktik und Geographie innerhalb der Canadian Studies zusammen. Die hier versammelten Autoren und Autorinnen sind Experten auf ihren jeweiligen Fachgebieten. Ihre Beiträge verstehen sich als Einführungen in spezielle Fragestellungen der Kanadistik für interessierte Leserinnen und Leser, aber auch als aktuelle Bestandsaufnahmen für den Fachwissenschaftler. Mit der Publikation dieses Sammelbandes entscheidet sich das Herausgeberteam zum anderen für eine Darstellung des internationalen Zuschnitts der Kanadistik. Sie bietet mithin einen Gradmesser für die rasante Entwicklung der Canadian Studies innerhalb und auà erhalb Kanadas in den vergangenen Jahren auch unter erschwerten à konomischen Bedingungen.
