Green Canada

Omschrijving

This book explores environmental issues in Canada employing an interdisciplinary approach. It adopts several reading frameworks, encompassing the fields of literature, ecocriticism, linguistics, tourism, social sciences, architecture and geography. It investigates the keyword 'green' from a multiplicity of perspectives, including the voice of Cree writer Louise B. Halfe/Sky Dancer. Thus, green should be seen as one of the main symbolic colours which define contemporary Canadian identity. Its six sections address intertwined issues such as the preservation and annihilation of the green landscape, the re-rooting of indigenous worldviews, the impact of Italian rural traditions in urban Canada, the influence of contemporary literary landscapes, the language of green in tourism and linguistics. At the end of the volume, Margaret Atwood's recent writings are considered as playing a crucial role in the new consciousness of green Canada. The book investigates a number of connected issues related to Canada and its environment, in order to examine the ongoing processes of preservation and distruction of the green landscapes of an immense country, through an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing different theoritical and methodological tools.
