SUMMARY:Canada Talks - Unerasing Ourselves: St. Catharines\, Canadian Literature\, and the Past
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Canadian Studies in partnership with the St. Catharines Public Library presents their third Canada Talks event featuring Professor Gregory Betts. \n“Unerasing Ourselves: St. Catharines\, Canadian Literature\, and the Past”\nWednesday February 25 starting at 6:15 p.m.\nCentral Library\, Mills Room\, Downtown St. Catharines \nThis talk attends to the troubling question: what becomes of the nation when we decolonize\, when we really take our conflicts head on? \nBy looking at the history and counter-history of St. Catharines\, we can start to imagine a strategy of reading Canada through its conflicts\, without erasing any\, while highlighting the various efforts to erase evidence of conflict. “Unerasing Ourselves” traces out a series of remarkable\, improbable\, and fascinating links between such authors as Frederick Douglas\, John Richardson\, Thomas D’Arcy McGee\, and Harriet Tubman\, amongst others. Provocatively\, I argue that we must reconsider erasure as a central dynamic of the Canadian Social contract. For the sake of the future\, it is time to think more consciously of the messy conflicts shaping this land. \nLight refreshments served | All welcome
