Canada Once Again at the Oscars: Kim Nguyen’s Rebelle , the Tale of an African Girl Child Soldier
In 2013, for the third year in a row, a Canadian film by a Québec director was named a finalist for the US Oscar in Best Foreign Films. Kim Nguyen’s Rebelle (War Witch), about child soldiers in Africa, continued and expanded the focus on international issues that had characterized the two previous Canadian nominees, Denis Villeneuve’s Incendies and Philippe Falardeau’s Monsieur Lazare. One of the few films to treat the worldwide problem of childr…
The Violated Female Body as Nation: Cultural, Familial, and Spiritual Identity in Nora Okja Keller's Comfort Woman
If gendered discourse is narrated by a woman, the female voice becomes a trope of identity and power—transgressing, dismantling, violating the law, and speaking her violation.

Public and Private Violence: “Une mise en discours de la violence” in Aline Chamberland's La Fissure
The Discourse of Violence In first volume of his Histoire de la sexualite, Michel Foucault develops his concept of une mise en discours du sexe (29), created since seventeenth century. He speaks of condemnation and denial of sexuality that cause people to seek it out and discuss/confess it in every detail, while those same negative elements and restrictions play into making of that very (16, 21). In a similar vein, we rightfully abhor violence, a…
