2	Multikulturní rysy v díle Tomsona Highwaye / Putting Chopin and the Rez together: multicultural features of Tomson Highway's work Marešová, Jana January 2012 (has links) The thesis titled Putting Chopin and the Rez Together: Multicultural Features in Tomson Highway's Work focuses on the work of renowned Native Canadian playwright, novelist, and musician Tomson Highway. The paper analyses those features of his writing and music that express the idea of multiculturalism and hybridity. It discusses the nature of the characters in his work and the image of the central character of Native mythology, the trickster. The analysis of dramatic techniques and music shows the way Highway combines his Euro-Canadian education and Native sensibility. Highway supports and promotes the notion of multiculturalism by his work. It has helped him to find personal as well as creative independence.

6	Être auteur amérindien : l’écriture comme outil d’affirmation culturelle et de guérison chez Tomson Highway Mainguy, Maude 19 April 2018 (has links) Les auteurs amérindiens se servent de l'écriture depuis la deuxième moitié du vingtième siècle pour affirmer leur identité et contribuer à la survivance de leur culture. Pour certains, toutefois, la motivation d'écrire va plus loin : pour Tomson Highway, il s'agit d'un chemin nécessaire vers la guérison de ses blessures. Il a connu l'enfer des pensionnats catholiques pour jeunes Autochtones et les conséquences que l'assimilation découlant de la Loi sur les Indiens a provoquées. Par l'écriture, Highway se libère : il s'agit d'un exutoire et d'un passage obligé. En se basant sur les notions de paratopie identitaire et spatiale issues de la théorie de Dominique Maingueneau, ce mémoire analyse le regard que porte l'auteur cri sur sa nation à travers ses personnages. Deux oeuvres sont à l'étude, soit le roman Champion et Ooneemeetoo (1998) et la pièce de théâtre Dry Lips devrait déménager à Kapuskasing (1989). Du roman, il ressort qu'à l'image de l'auteur, les personnages souffrent d'une double paratopie qui nuit à leur affirmation culturelle et identitaire. N'arrivant pas à trouver leur place chez les leurs ni à Winnipeg, c'est par l'entremise de l'influence des Blancs qu'ils arrivent à un semblant d'équilibre. Dans la pièce de théâtre, c'est un portrait peu flatteur que Highway fait de la vie postcoloniale des Amérindiens. L'influence des Blancs contribue à faire disparaître la culture et les traditions autochtones. L'espoir que la situation s'améliore sur les réserves repose entre les mains de ceux qui sont prêts à faire bouger les choses, mais ce n'est pas le cas de la majorité.

8	Animal writing : magical realism and the posthuman other. Schwalm, Tanja January 2009 (has links) Magical realist fiction is marked by a striking abundance of animals. Analysing magical realist novels from Australia and Canada, as well as exploring the influence of two seminal Latin American magical realist narratives, this thesis focuses on representations of animals and animality. Examining human-animal relationships in the postcolonial context reveals that magical realism embodies and represents an idea of feral animality that critically engages with an inherently imperialist and Cartesian humanism, and that, moreover, accounts for magical realism's elusiveness within systems of genre categorisation and labelling. It is this embodiment and presence of animal agency that animates magical realism and injects it with life and vibrancy. The magical realist writers discussed in this dissertation make use of animal practices inextricably intertwined with imperialism, such as pastoral farming, natural historical collections, the circus, the rodeo, the Wild West show, and the zoo, as well as alternative animal practices inherently incompatible with European ideologies, such as the Aboriginal Dreaming, Native North American animist beliefs, and subsistence hunting, as different ways of positioning themselves in relation to the Cartesian human subject. The circus is a particular influence on the form and style of many magical realist texts, whereby oxymoronically structured circensian spaces form the basis of the narratives‟ realities, and hierarchical imperial structures and hegemonic discourses that are portrayed as natural through Cartesian science and Linnaean taxonomies are revealed as deceptive illusions that perpetuate the self-interests of the powerful. magic realism magical realism animal human-animal studies postcolonial posthuman feral Australia Canada circus circensian zoo natural history maban reality trickster Gabriel Garcia Marquez Isabel Allende Peter Carey Richard Flanagan Mudrooroo Sam Watson Thomas King Tomson Highway Robert Kroetsch Jack Hodgins Yann Martel
