Ladies and Gentlemen,
as much as every cultural, artistic, or social production is situated within a specific time frame that it embodies and determines, our engagements with culture are in turn defined by temporal factors, such as context, contiguity, duration, or age. Drawing attention to the extent to which time influences aspects of human life has been (and still is) the subject of numerous scholarly investigations in various domains.
From June 23-25, 2011, the University of Marburg hosts the 8th annual conference of the Young Scholars' Forum of the Association for Canadian Studies in German-speaking Countries, which is entitled "Canada at All Times: Aspects of Temporality in Canadian Studies" / "Le Canada en tout temps: Aspects de la temporalité en études canadiennes."
The conference aims at exploring the issue of time and temporality from a particularly Canadian perspective, since investigations on this topic might possibly deepen insights not only with regard to Canadian society and its relationship to time, but also with regard to concepts of temporality in general. Panels will examine issues of time in an interdisciplinary manner, such as transformations and developments in Canadian culture, Canadian perspectives on temporality in literature and film, interrelations between time, memory, and identity, as well as narrative techniques of representing time.
Keynote lectures:
Prof. Dr. Eleanor Ty (Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo): Remembrance of Things Past: Aging and Affective Memories in Contemporary Canadian Narratives
Guillermo Verdecchia (Toronto): Chile Today, Canada Tomorrow: The Revolutionary Memory of Carmen Aguirre's Theatre
As a cultural highlight, the renowned Argentinian-Canadian playwright, Guillermo Verdecchia, will read from his works in the course of the conference.
Conference Venue:
Philipps-Universität Marburg
Kanada-Saal der Universitätsbibliothek
Wilhelm-Röpke-Straße 4
35039 Marburg

43rd Annual Convention of the Northeast Modern Language Association, Rochester (NY), March 15-18, 2012
Panel on "Canadian Short Stories"
This panel examines the works of Anglophone Canadian short story writers, such as as Alice Munro, Margaret Laurence, Gabrielle Roy, Carol Shields, and Margaret Atwood, among many others. Some of the questions to be addressed include: Is the short story a genre employed more frequently by female Canadian writers; if so, why? Do the short stories by these authors convey the notion of Canadianness? Other possible topics include: collections of linked stories, "flash fiction," influences among Canadian authors, or connections between an author's stories and novels.
The panel welcomes proposals that examine the theme of Canadian short stories and Canadian short story writers. Interested participants should e-mail 350-500 word abstracts to Karen F. Stein:
