Particularly since September 11, this paradox has shaped deeply the lives of border-crossing subjects such as the queer, the refugee, and the activist within and beyond Canadian frontiers. In search of creative ways to engage with the conundrums related to how borders mould social and bodily space, Libe García Zarranz formulates a new cross-border ethic through post-9/11 feminist and queer transnational writing in Canada. Drawing on material feminism, critical race studies, non-humanist philosophy, and affect theory, she proposes a renewed understanding of relationality beyond the lethal binaries that saturate everyday life. TransCanadian Feminist Fictions considers the corporeal, biopolitical, and affective dimensions of border crossing in the works of Dionne Brand, Hiromi Goto, Emma Donoghue, and Larissa Lai. Intersecting the genres of memoir, fiction, poetry, and young adult literature, García Zarranz shows how these texts address the permeability of boundaries and consider the ethical implications for minoritized populations. Urging readers to question the proclaimed glamours of globality, TransCanadian Feminist Fictions responds to a time of increasing inequality, mounting racism, and feminist backlash."--Provided by publisher.Canadian literatureHistory and criticismFeminism in literatureSexual minorities in literatureCanadian literatureHistory and criticism.Feminism in literature.Sexual minorities in literature.810.9971Zarranz Libe Garcia 1637608MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828883303321Transcanadian feminist fictions3979550UNINA
