Writing in the Feminine in French and English Canada
This important work considers the contemporary movement of "writing in the feminine", by examining the work of five women writers from French and English Canada and the dialogue therein with feminist and psychoanalytic theory and theories of ethics. Informing the author's interpretations are the ideas of French theorists Emmanuel Levinas, Paul Ricoeur, Luce Irigaray, and Julia Kristeva, as well as American feminists Kelly Oliver and Jessica Benjamin. Marie Carrière explores the unfolding, complex questions of sexual difference, female subjectivity, and mother-daughter relations. She also uncovers and examines the occasional breakdown of the feminist ethics postulated by Nicole Brossard, Fra...
Regenerations / Régénérations
Buttressed by a wealth of new, collaborative research methods and technologies, the contributors of this collection examine women's writing in Canada, past and present, with 11 essays in English and 5 in French. Regenerations was born out of the inaugural conference of the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory held at the Canadian Literature Centre, University of Alberta, and exemplifies the progress of radically interdisciplinary research, collaboration, and publishing efforts surrounding Canadian women's writing. Researchers and students interested in Canadian literature, Québec literature, women's writing, literary history, feminist theory, and digital humanities scholarship should definitely acquaint themselves with this work.

Rutland Place
" Anne Perry prend un formidable plaisir (et nous aussi) à imaginer des enquêtes policières à la fin du siècle dernier dans une Angleterre victorienne. Elle en profite pour faire, sans avoir l'air d'y toucher, une enquête sociologique, une revue de mode (chaque robe est décrite avec minutie) et une critique redoutable de cette société enfermée dans ses principes, ses traditions, ses habitudes. L'auteur évoque aussi parfois les bas-fonds à la Dickens. Et le tout fait des polars haletants, amusants, excitants. Même quand on n'aime pas d'habitude la littérature policière. " Marie-Françoise Leclerc, Marie-France Traduit de l'anglais par Anne-Marie Carrière
Writing Beyond the End Times? / Écrire au-delà de la fin des temps ?
This collection of essays examines how the sense of crisis that occasionally seems to overwhelm us directs and transforms Canadian and Quebec writings in English and French, and conversely, how literature and criticism set out to counterbalance the social, economic, and ideological insecurities we live in. Ce recueil de textes étudie les manières dont le sentiment de crise qui peut parfois sembler nous submerger, oriente et transforme les écrits canadiens et québécois d’expressions anglaise et française, et inversement, comment la littérature et la critique s’efforcent de contrebalancer les insécurités sociales, économiques et idéologiques dans lesquelles nous vivons. Contributors: David Boucher, Marie Carrière, Nicole Côté, Piet Defraeye, Nicoletta Dolce, Danielle Dumontet, Ana María Fraile-Marcos, Marion Kühn, Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink, Carmen Mata Barreiro, Ursula Mathis-Moser, Dunja M. Mohr, Émilie Notard, Daniel Poitras, Véronique Porra, Srilata Ravi, Marion Christina Rohrleitner
Belgrave Square
Lorsque William Weems, un obscur usurier, est assassiné du côté de Clerkenwell, une discrète jubilation se répand parmi ses clients qu'il n'hésitait pas, à sa façon, à "étrangler" sans pitié. Quand l'inspecteur Pitt trouve dans son bureau une liste comportant plusieurs noms du Gotha londonien, il prend conscience de l'ampleur de sa tâche. William Weems était en fait un véritable maître chanteur. Une fois encore, son épouse Charlotte, issue elle aussi de la meilleure société, va s'avérer la meilleure des alliés. Que ce soit au cours de bals chatoyants ou de five o'clock tea, elle va observer ce monde de passion, de pouvoir et de cupidité que la police n'est pas autorisée à voir et permettre d'identifier le coupable. Décidément, ce que femme veut... Traduit de l'anglais par Anne-Marie Carrière

Ten Canadian Writers in Context
"Ten years, ten authors, ten critics. The Canadian Literature Centre/Centre de littâerature canadienne reached into its Brown Bag Lunch Reading Series to present a sampling of some of the most diverse and powerful voices in contemporary Canadian literature from Newfoundland to British Columbia. Each piece is accompanied by a concise critical essay addressing the author's writerly preoccupations and practices. The literary selections and essays will be of interest to engaged readers who want direction in analyzing these authors' work as well as to teachers and students of Canadian literature."--
Regenerations / Régénérations
Alberta is well known for its fossil treasures, and author John Acorn is as keen on the long-dead creatures of Alberta as he is on the living. Here, John features 80 of the most noteworthy fossils, fossil locations, and fossil hunters from this most palaeontological of provinces. There's more to the story of "deep Alberta" than dinosaurs, but dinosaur fans will find all their favourite beasts here as well -- from Edmontosaurus to Tyrannosaurus rex, and everything in-between. Then there are the surprises, such as the world's oldest pike, the discovery of a venomous mammal, and the fossils found in such unlikely places as Edmonton and Calgary. Prepared with the collaboration of palaeontologists around Alberta, and the world-renowned Royal Tyrrell Museum, this is a book that is long overdue, and that deserves a place on everyone's bookshelf.
All the Feels / Tous Les Sens
All the Feels / Tous les sens presents research into emotion and cognition in Canadian, Indigenous, and Québécois writings in English or French. Affect is both internal and external, private and public; with its fluid boundaries, it represents a productive dimension for literary analysis. The emerging field of affect studies makes vital claims about ethical impulses, social justice, and critical resistance, and thus much is at stake when we adopt affective reading practices. The contributors ask what we can learn from reading contemporary literatures through this lens. Unique and timely, readable and teachable, this collection is a welcome resource for scholars of literature, feminism, philosophy, and transnational studies as well as anyone who yearns to imagine the world differently. Contributors: Nicole Brossard, Marie Carrière, Matthew Cormier, Kit Dobson, Nicoletta Dolce, Louise Dupré, Margery Fee, Ana Mara Fraile-Marcos, Smaro Kamboureli, Aaron Kreuter, Daniel Laforest, Carmen Mata Barreiro, Ursula Mathis-Moser, Heather Milne, Eric Schmaltz, Maté Snauwaert, Jeanette den Toonder
