Landscapes of Trauma and Transformation
Long before ecocriticism became a focus for textual analysis, poets articulated interconnection with the natural world. Not only green but vibrant colour across the spectrum has semiotically served poets as they sought to venture ever deeper into understanding the expanse of human experience and the anguish that all too often accompanies it. The idea of post-traumatic transformation is rooted in the Hebrew Bible and in the contextual stories with…

Editor’s Foreword
The Unreliable Narrator
“Edgia’s Revenge” is ostensibly the story of a symbiotic relationship between Rella and Edgia, two women who were inmates in Auschwitz during World War II. The narrative is written in retrospective, a kind of suicide note that the protagonist prepares before taking the coloured pills on her bedside. It is the telling of the story of an unrepentant female kapo, the term for Jewish guards who supervised the forced labour of other Jews in the heinou…

Liminality and Palimpsest in Anne Michaels’sThe Winter Vault
Anne Michaels’s first novel, Fugitive Pieces, garnered numerous awards and produced much scholarly discussion. The Winter Vault followed thirteen years later, but has received little critical attention. This novel traverses the spaces of the construction of the Aswan High Dam, the St. Lawrence Seaway, and the reconstruction of the Old Town of Warsaw. Time bubbles up through these layered landscapes, evidencing markers and minutiae of masses of hu…
Double Diversity
This article is based on Our Canada: Jewish-Canadian Women Writers, a federally funded research project exploring the literary output of more than one hundred women authors in this country, together with the body of commentary on their work. Elucidating themes of immigration, tradition, identity, family, hope, and strengthening connections, the prose and poetry of these authors prods us to think about what Canada means and what these authors have…

Feminist Methodologies
Given changing contexts and social discourses, it is theoretically enriching to enlarge the research emphasis of the secular academic discipline of Religious Studies to consider ways in which women who self-identify as religious contribute to their various traditions in ways that deepen spiritual experience for the communities as a whole and make contributions to their larger social contexts. Religious Studies scholars value scientific approaches…
Emancipatory Possibilities beyond Kyriarchy
María, a self-sufficient Mexican Christian woman, understands her life in terms of her relationship with God. Giving María voice as directly as possible, locating her within her cultural context of contemporary Mexico, and considering her conceptualization of God through the lens of critical theory, crevices are revealed where the light of transcendence shines through. This permits, however briefly, possibilities for reconciliation and resistance…

Clarice Lispector's The Passion According to G.H
This essay is an exploration of the way in which Jewish religious paradigms are manifested and sometimes subverted in Clarice Lispector's novel The Passion According to G.H. The question which guides this enquiry is the theoretical issue of examining what is being represented in this text: What is the mimetic relationship between the character's development and the ineffable referent to which the narrative refers? Utilizing a phenomenological phi…
Challenges and Approaches to Newcomer Health Research
Newcomers include immigrants, refugees, or asylum seekers. Approaches to research in newcomer populations include consideration of the insider–outsider status of the researcher(s), sample selection and recruitment strategies, and attention to language barriers. Potential research participants need to be identified, approached, and made to feel safe before, during, and after participation in research. Interpersonal relationships need to be negotia…
Challenges for a North American Doing Research with Traditional Indigenous Guatemalan Midwives
The purpose to this article is to narratively explore the process of doing research in a transcultural setting. The research project was an ethographic design using the method of participant observation. The setting was the highlands of Guatemala, and the participants were traditional indigenous midwives with a divine mandate to practice. Using the experience of the research process, the author makes recommendations to future student researchers
