The essays gathered in Critical Collaborations constitute a call for collaboration and kinship across disciplinary, political, institutional, and community borders. They are tied together through a simultaneous call for resistance--to Eurocentrism, corporatization, rationalism, and the fantasy of total systems of knowledge--and a call for critical collaborations. These collaborations seek to forge connections without perceived identity--linking concepts and communities without violating the differences that constitute them, seeking epistemic kinships while maintaining a willingness to not-know. In this way, they form a critical conversation between seemingly distinct areas and demonstrate fundamental allegiances between diasporic and indigenous scholarship, transnational and local knowledges, legal and eco-critical methodologies. Links are forged between Indigenous knowledge and ecological and social justice, creative critical reading, and ambidextrous epistemologies, unmaking the nation through translocalism and unsettling histories of colonial complicity through a poetics of relation. Together, these essays reveal how the critical methodologies brought to bear on literary studies can both challenge and exceed disciplinary structures, presenting new forms of strategic transdisciplinarity that expand the possibilities of Canadian literary studies while also emphasizing humility, complicity, and the limits of knowledge. 410 0$aTransCanada series. 606 $aCanadian literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc$vCongresses 606 $aCriticism$zCanada$vCongresses 606 $aLiterature and society$zCanada$vCongresses 615 0$aCanadian literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aCriticism 615 0$aLiterature and society 676 $a801/.950971 702 $aKamboureli$b Smaro 702 $aVerduyn$b Christl$f1953- 712 12$aTransCanada: Literature, Institutions, Citizenship Conference$d(3rd :$f2009 :$eSackville, N.B.), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791198003321 996 $aCritical collaborations$93818149 997 $aUNINA
