1	Impossible Canadians: Discourse, Subjectivity, and Sovereignty as National Identity Chartrand, Tyler 18 September 2013 (has links) This thesis analyses the power relations operating within the field of Canadian national identity, the permissible subject positions within it, and the political claims enabled by such positions. It contributes to a field of interdisciplinary study on these questions by arguing that national identity in Canada is a problem animated by the logic of the sovereign form of authority. An analysis of state-authorized discourse demonstrates the power relations between the Normative Canadian and National Other subject positions, which reduce Indigenous peoples, the Québécois, and ethnoculturalized individuals into intelligible subjects of recognition and sovereign decisions. An account of those limits and conditions of possibility of Canadian national identity susceptible to modification and transgression is offered to conclude. / Graduate / 0615 / tchartrand@gmail.com Canadian national identity Sovereignty Canadian studies Discourse analysis

3	Living Under Security Certificates: Experiences of Securitization of Detainees and their Families Wadhawan, Subhah 06 December 2018 (has links) Security and race have historically been entangled in the politics of nation-building, whereby national security discourses have constructed the ‘public’ whom it should protect as ‘white’ while demonizing persons of colour as a threat to that public. In the current war against terrorism, these racialized discourses, underwritten by a colonial logic, have materialized through the symbolic and literal displacement of Muslim persons. Under this imperative of national security, both existing and novel legislations have either been suspended, contorted, or implemented to be used against Muslims, or anyone who visibly appears Muslim. Security certificates are one of such judicial tools. This thesis seeks to explore the experiences of securitization, analyzing how this legislation strips the subjects of the security certificate program of their legal rights and social connectedness. To explore this, I interviewed three of the five men from the ‘Secret Trial Five’ cases and some of their family members. I investigate how securitization manifests in the lives of those who have been securitized, exploring the practices that are used to maintain and reinforce the othering and the displacement of Muslim populations.
