21st Conference of the Emerging Scholars Forum – Territory, Tension, and Taboo: Canada in Crisis

21st Conference of the Emerging Scholars Forum of the Association for Canadian Studies in German-Speaking Countries

Territory, Tension, and Taboo: Canada in Crisis
Territoire, tension et tabou: le Canada en crise

October 10-11, 2024 – University of Bremen

Depending on the context, territory is described as vast, empty, conquered, annexed, unexplored, constructed, claimed, or imagined, among many other adjectives. This conference explores different aspects of territory through the prism of tension and taboo, including tensions which have erupted into public conflicts that dominate(d) popular Canadian discourse, or territorial confrontations treated as taboo, concealed, or otherwise obscured by Canada’s international reputation as a welcoming and multicultural nation. “Territory, Tension, and Taboo: Canada in Crisis” interrogates how territory–-as a historical, legal, geographical, and cultural concept–-functions as an essential interdisciplinary nexus within the field of Canadian Studies.

Selon le contexte, le territoire est dépeint comme vaste, vide, conquis, annexé, inexploré, construit, revendiqué ou imaginé, pour ne citer que quelques adjectifs. Cette conférence explore différents aspects du territoire à travers le prisme de la tension et du tabou, y compris les tensions qui ont éclaté en conflits publics qui dominent le discours populaire canadien, ou les confrontations territoriales traitées comme taboues, dissimulées ou autrement obscurcies par la réputation internationale du Canada en tant que nation accueillante et multiculturelle. « Territoire, tension et tabou : le Canada en crise » interroge la manière dont le territoire – en tant que concept historique, juridique, géographique et culturel – fonctionne comme un lien interdisciplinaire essentiel dans le domaine des études canadiennes.
