This talk will recount the remarkable story of Canadian poet Frank Prewett during and after the First World War. Prewett’s brooding good looks and claims to Iroquois ancestry attracted both sexes, including British aristocrats Siegfried Sassoon and Lady Ottoline Morrell. Amidst the heady vertigo of pandemic-ridden, post-war England, this remarkable Canadian became the toast of elite British literary society—that is, until it all crashed around his ears.

JOY PORTER is Leverhulme Major Research Fellow and PI of the Treatied Spaces Research Group at the University of Hull, U.K. (treatiedspaces.com) where she researches Indigenous, environmental, and diplomatic themes in an interdisciplinary context. Fascinated by the mind, by what makes us love, persevere, transcend and escape the legacies of conflict, her work exposes how culture impacts the world.

Marc Chalier, Les normes de prononciation du français. Une étude perceptive panfrancophone (De Gruyter, 2021) Open access

Si la recherche considère traditionnellement le français comme une langue monocentrique, de récentes études portant sur les normes (de prononciation) en Suisse et au Québec remettent actuellement cette affirmation en question. Dans cet ouvrage, la pluralité des normes de prononciation est abordée pour la première fois pour trois régions différentes et sur la base d’une combinaison de trois méthodes. Le cas de Paris en tant que traditionnel centre de la francophonie est comparé à ceux des « périphéries » québécoise et suisse romande sur la base d’une analyse des productions de 60 journalistes-présentateurs, considérés comme des locuteurs-modèles, combinée à des tests de perception et une enquête par questionnaires sur les représentations de 288 informateurs non experts. Les résultats montrent que si, en Europe, il est difficile de considérer l’existence d’une norme de prononciation suisse romande stable parallèle à celle de Paris, l’indépendance recrudescente d’un nouveau centre normatif québécois sur le continent américain est indéniable. Ces résultats remettent en cause la présumée « exception sociolinguistique » du français et impliquent une redéfinition du concept de norme de référence dans un sens pluricentrique.

CFP for Special Issue of Canadian Ethnic Studies: „Pandemic Perspectives: Racialized and Gendered Experiences of Refugee and Immigrant Families in Canada“

Deadline: November 15, 2021

This special issue on the impact of the pandemic on refugee and immigrant families in Canada seeks to capture the gendered and racialized experiences of families of refugees and immigrants during the pandemic. The pandemic has amplified many of the existing underlying inequities including racial injustices and gender-based discriminations. Racialized refugees and immigrant families in Canada were especially vulnerable to the marginalizing social outcomes of the pandemic. For instance, during the pandemic hate crimes against Asian and Muslim immigrants and refugees has been at an all-time high in Canada; college educated immigrant women have experienced the highest rates of unemployment; immigrant careworkers of colour have died at disproportionally high rates; and refugee families have experienced prolonged family separations, barriers to health care and higher rates of domestic violence.
