  • All the feels : affect and writing in Canada = Tous les sens : affect et écriture au Canada

    Abstract

    All the Feels / Tous les sens presents research into emotion and cognition in Canadian, Indigenous, and Québécois writings in English or French. Affect is both internal and external, private and public; with its fluid boundaries, it represents a productive dimension for literary analysis. The emerging field of affect studies makes vital claims about ethical impulses, social justice, and critical resistance, and thus much is at stake when we adopt affective reading practices. The contributors ask what we can learn from reading contemporary literatures through this lens.

  • Reclaiming the commons for the common good : a memoir & manifesto

    Creator

    Menzies, Heather

    Abstract

    Commoning was a way of life for most of our ancestors. In Reclaiming the Commons for the Common Good, Heather Menzies journeys to her roots in the Scottish Highlands, where her family lived in direct relation with the land since neolithic times. Beginning with an intimate account of unearthing the heritage of the commons and the real tragedy of its loss, Menzies offers a detailed description of the self-organizing, self-governing, and self-informing principles of this nearly forgotten way of life, including its spiritual practices and traditions.
