Call for Papers
(1)
Canadian Literature invites submissions in English or French on aspects of
Canadian auto/biography (literary or other media) or comparisons between
Canadian and non-Canadian works. Of particular interest are recent works
of some disctinction that so far have received little critical attention.
Examples are works by Wayne Johnston, Wayson Choy, Janice Kulyk Keefer,
Lisa Appignanesi, Austin Clarke, Myrna Kostash, Sharon Butala, and Michael
Ignatieff. We encourage authors to engage with contemporary theoretical
issues in life-writing such as relational lives; trauma or crisis; the
performative nature of identity construction; ethics and life-writing;
parameters of identity as defined by nationality, ethnicity, gender,
sexuality, etc.; indigenous communities; technologies in auto/biography
(use of cyberspace or web-based life-writing, or reality TV); generic
instability; or the cultural work of auto/biography. Guest-editors are
Susanna Egan and Gabriele Helms.
Send three copies of your paper (approximately 25 pages including notes
and Works Cited; MLA style; two copies with the author's name removed) to:
The Editor, Canadian Literature, The University of British Columbia, Room
158, Buchanan E,1866 Main Mall, Vancouver, B.C. V6T 1Z1. For details about
the journal, consult the website, www.cdn-lit.ubc.ca.
The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2001.

Canadian Literature invites submissions for a special issue on travel
writing, including "ethnic" travel (the return of immigrants or their
descendants to their countries of origin), political journalism (as in the
writing of Jan Wong or Yi Sun-Kyung), anthropological expedition (as in
Linda Spalding's The Follow) "tragic tourism" (as in the post-Holocaust
journeys of Claudia Cornwall or Irena Karafilly) and others.
Canadian Literature also invites submissions for a special issue on
interrelationships between anglophone and francophone writing in Canada,
including discussions of translation, literary reception, and the impact of
multiculturalism with its attendant influx of languages and literatures
other than English or French.
Send three copies of your paper (approximately 25 pages including notes
and Works Cited; MLA style; two copies with the author's name removed) to:
The Editor, Canadian Literature, The University of British Columbia, Room
