In Timing Canada, Paul Huebener draws from cultural history, time-use surveys, political statements, literature, and visual art to craft a detailed understanding of how time operates as a form of power in Canada. Time enables everything we do--as Margaret Atwood writes, "without it we can't live." However, time also disempowers us, divides us, and escapes our control. Huebener transforms our understanding of temporal power and possibility by using examples from Canadian and Indigenous authors--including Jeannette Armstrong, Joseph Boyden, Dionne Brand, Timothy Findley, Lucy Maud Montgomery, and Gabrielle Roy, and many others--who witness, question, dismantle, and reconstruct the functioning of time in their works. As the first comprehensive study of the cultural politics of time in Canada, Timing Canada develops foundational principles of critical time studies and everyday temporal literacy, and demonstrates how time functions broadly as a tool of power, privilege, and imagination within a multicultural and multi-temporal nation."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aTime in literature 606 $aTime$xSocial aspects$zCanada 606 $aTime$xPolitical aspects$zCanada 606 $aNational characteristics, Canadian, in literature 606 $aCanadian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTime in literature. 615 0$aTime$xSocial aspects 615 0$aTime$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aNational characteristics, Canadian, in literature. 615 0$aCanadian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a810.9384 700 $aHuebener$b Paul$0893049 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460858603321 996 $aTiming Canada$91994685 997 $aUNINA
