An Interdisciplinary Conference
June 23-26, 2005
The Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue, Vancouver
This interdisciplinary conference investigates the study of Canadian literature as a field produced in the context of globalizing processes and critical methodologies, but also in that of institutional structures such as the Humanities, the cultural industries, curricula and anthologies. Innovatively designed, TransCanada intends to bring to light the incommensurable aspects of the production, study and teaching of Canadian literature as praxis in Canada and overseas. Structured as an intensive, critical dialogue, and intended to facilitate future research collaboration, TransCanada responds to the critical juncture we believe the study of Canadian literature is at: beyond the troubled legacy of nationalism, the domestication of the postcolonial, and an acquiescent engagement with globalization.
The TransCanada organising committee would like to thank all the delegates, attendees, volunteers, sponsors, and associates who helped to make TransCanada happen. Stay tuned for updates on this web site's developing functions (in the interest of sustaining dialogue and momentum) and on next year's sequel at the University of Guelph.
