                         CANADIAN CULTURAL (IN)TENSIONS
                              October 16 & 17, 1998

                        E.D. Blodgett (University of Alberta)


How are Canadian histories, myths, public figures and concerns, relations to
other nations and peoples, represented differently from one part of the
country to another? How have representations changed over time, or have
they? What effects do these different representations have on our perception
of ourselves as Canadians, and our relation to community, region, language
and nation?

We invite graduate students in all disciplines whose work touches on the
study of Canada to submit proposals for short (fifteen to twenty-minute)
papers, in French, English, or both, on representations in/and/of Canada.
The conference aspires to involves students of Canadian culture in dialogue,
and to stimulate discussion about our similarities and differences, and the
ways in which these are affected by the multiple representations which
reflect and refract Canadians to themselves and to one another.

We are interested in issues of language and region, but also of history,
literature and culture. Papers might address a range of areas including
literature, poetry, linguistics, institutional studies, history, geography,
politics, economics, sociology, journalism, media studies, television, film,
popular culture, sports, visual arts, music, theatre, translation.

Please send a one-page (250 to 500 word) abstract, in French, English, or both, 
                                by June 19, 1998
