Materiality in Alice Munro’s short fiction
This Special Issue of Short Fiction in Theory and Practice , edited by Corinne Bigot (University of Toulouse) and Christine Lorre (University of Caen), is devoted to ‘Alice Munro and Materiality’. Approaching Munro’s work through the prism of materiality is a way to revisit the questions of the apparent ‘realism’ of her writing, which leads to re-examining the relation between materiality and the immaterial for a writer, or any artist. Material m…

Irrévérence ou résurgence ? Au Canada Kent Monkman, artiste cri, revisite la tradition du « portrait d’Indiens »
Cet article analyse trois séries de portraits réalisés entre 2008 et 2022 par le peintre canadien d’origine crie, Kent Monkman, sous l’angle de la résurgence et de la contre-visualité. Monkman est surtout connu pour ces interprétations picturales irrévérencieuses de l’histoire canadienne et du canon de la peinture européenne, qui mettent en lumière les relations entre colons et Autochtones. Sont considérées ici deux séries peintes en 2008, où Mon…
Things happen when Eskimos go south!’: Inuit/unique encounters between north and south, city and tundra, the dead and the living in Norma Dunning’s Tainna: The Unseen Ones
This article considers how Norma Dunning, a writer of Inuit descent, maps out Edmonton in Tainna: The Unseen Ones . It examines the role Dunning gives the Inuit spirits who descend from the north to help their descendants. The stories provide a crude evocation of contemporary Inuit lives on the streets of Edmonton. However, thanks to the spirits, a more humane vision of the southern city surfaces. Even though Dunning does not provide her readers …
Quand le mémoire culinaire donne des leçons d’histoire: Pig Tails ‘n’ Breadfruit d’Austin Clarke
En 1999, Austin Clarke, né sur l’île de la Barbade, publie Pig Tails ‘n’ Breadfruit: A Barbadian Memoir, au moment où le genre du mémoire culinaire est populaire, notamment auprès des communautés noires américaines et diasporiques. Le mémoire culinaire est aujourd’hui considéré comme une forme d’auto-ethnographie, qui ouvre un espace où des voix et points de vue alternatifs peuvent s’exprimer. Ce genre particulier est le moyen utilisé par Clarke …

Marooning on Islands of Her Own Choosing: Inscribing Place and Instability in Alice Munro’s “Deep-Holes”
The essay analyzes Alice Munro’s “Deep-Holes” which features real, singular and apparently unconnected places, arguing that as a geomancer Munro inscribes place, highlights gaps in the referential process, and reveals instability of meaning, through shifts in the perception of space and place. “Deep-Holes” is one of the Canadian short story writer’s geoliterary stories in which she uses space to comment on her writing, to foster a double vision i…

Diasporic culinary trajectories: Mapping food zones and food routes in first-generation South Asian and Caribbean culinary memoirs
This article examines two culinary memoirs that belong to two distinct postcolonial diasporas, the Caribbean, through a focus on Austin Clarke’s Pig Tails ‘n’ Breadfruit, and the South Asian diaspora, through a focus on Madhur Jaffrey’s Climbing the Mango Trees. As a South Asian diasporan, Jaffrey maps Delhi as a multicultural, pluri-faith town, with distinct (food) areas, to reflect contemporary views of the nation as diversity/unity, and define…
Ghost texts in Alice Munro’s stories
This article aims to apply the concepts of ‘ghost scenarios’ and ‘ghost texts’ to Alice Munro’s short stories, a concept that Michel Charles introduced in the context of reader-response theory. Using ‘Gravel’, from Munro’s 2012 collection, as an exemplar, the article focuses on the role intratextuality plays in Munro’s oeuvre and its effect on readers. I propose to see previous stories that hover as subtexts as ‘ghost scenarios’ that haunt the Ca…
Did they go native? Representations of first encounters and personal interrelations with First Nations Canadians in the writings of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill
Between 1836 and 1852, Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill, two British gentlewomen who had emigrated to Canada, published accounts of their lives in the backwoods of Canada for a British audience. Descriptions of their encounters with their Native neighbours, more particularly women, are prominent in their texts. A gradual sense of intimacy permeates the writings, battling with the prejudices of the times. I propose to read Traill’s main wo…
