ABSTRACT. This paper intends to revise Canadian narratives of identity vis-à-vis In his book Land Sliding: Imagining Space, Presence, and Power in Canadian Writing, William New (1997) analyses the representations of place, site, space and land in Canadian culture. The fiction written in Canada in the 1980s and 1990s, New notes, is often set abroad and exhibits an aesthetic of place and time radically different from the one written by the country's cultural nationalism. Instead of focusing on the meaning of an essential Canadianness, these texts often deal with the technologies of travel, information, and electronic communication, with the flow of people and cultural productions across literal and metaphorical frontiers, with the narrativization of history,

Trans.Through.Beyond (A Review Essay)This is a book about the intersection of gender and race in Canadian writing of the 1990s and since. It is indebted to the work of critics like Roy Miki (2001), Larissa Lai (2004), Lily Cho (2007), Guy Beauregard (2008), and Christl Verduyn and Eleanor Ty (2008, all of whom have identified, from an array of different positions, the dangers of the normalization and/or appropriation of difference by the literary and cultural institutions and market forces. Transnational Poetics stems from those critical positions and, by offering a material reading of recent Asian Canadian women's texts, contributes its own voice to the debates about the need to maintain resistance discourses that problematize the institutionalization of racial and gender difference.
