__________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/span>
North, in Western culture, is the fundamental direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a geographical notion, \u201cthe North\u201d can be used to indicate any or all locations in the northern hemisphere, from the equator to the North Pole. In relation to the United States, all of Canada can be seen as \u201cthe North\u201d. But within Canada there is a whole range of different \u201cNorths\u201d, both historically and at present: the \u201cPays d\u2019en Haut\u201d of the voyageurs, the old Northwest, today\u2019s camping and cottage country \u201cup north\u201d, the northern regions of many of the provinces (differing across the country), the northern territories (Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut), the Far North. Each of these reflects a different kind of \u201cnordicity\u201d, to use Canadian geographer Louis-Edmond Hamelin\u2019s now widely adopted term.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond geography, \u201cthe North\u201d is also a concept, one that encompasses a broad range of meanings and symbolic values. It is an imagined space as well as a space for the imaginary, a space of myth as well as a space shaped by myth, by turns cruel and ennobling, enigmatic and inspiring, powerful and fragile. The country\u2019s \u201cnortherness\u201d is often viewed as one of its distinguishing features, a vital element in the Canadian identity \u2013 even when \u201cthe North\u201d in this case may mean only the non-urban part of Canada north of the thin populated band hugging the border with the United States. It is also a source of pride \u2013 \u201cthe true North, strong and free\u201d \u2013 and, increasingly, in an era of climate change, a challenge. Canada\u2019s imagined and real Norths have been literary and cultural obsessions for centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

The aim of this conference is to explore both the literal and the imaginative aspects of the relationship between Canada and \u201cthe North\u201d \u2013 geographical, economic, literary, linguistic, cultural, social, political, diplomatic, environmental. We seek submissions from all disciplines that deal with Canada and Canadian Studies. The topics may include but are NOT limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n

– the North and its representations: real and imaginary territory<\/span>
– the North in Canadian literature: nordicity and its varieties<\/span>
– First Nations artwork and literature<\/span>
– the symbolic North in Canadian culture: hockey, curling, winter carnivals, canoes<\/span>
– living in the North: Aboriginal communities, the life and survival of traditional cultures, demography and development of local communities, social problems<\/span>
– North and South: Canada as America\u2019s \u201cNorth\u201d, southern Canada and its \u201cNorth\u201d<\/span>
– decision-making in the North: the roles of federal, provincial and territorial governments and of local administration<\/span>
– the North and economic questions: exploitation of resources, gas and oil exploration, tourism<\/span>
– the North and the international community: defense of Canadian sovereignty, the Arctic Council<\/span><\/p>\n

We welcome proposals for twenty-minute presentations in the field of Canadian Studies. We accept paper proposals in English and French. Abstracts of between 150 and 250 words + a brief CV (150 words) should be submitted via the Paper Proposal Submission Form, which is to be found on the conference website.
