Resumen de la ponencia
In her novel, entitled Surfacing, Margaret Atwood’s male protagonist famously called Canada a country “founded on the bodies of dead animals” (1972: 43). Explaining the above quote with reference to Canada’s past, the session will study the troubled and controversial relationship of human and non-human animals as depicted in selected Canadian literary works in English. Starting with sketching a brief history of people and animals, the presentation will continue with examining animals’ importance throughout Canadian history. A discussion of fauna in selected literary works will follow. The study of multifaceted non-human protagonists will be based on such late 20th century novels as, among others, Marian Engel’s Bear, Timothy Findley’s The Wars and Not Wanted on the Voyage, or Rawi Hage’s Cockroach.

Resumen de la ponencia
The lecture will introduce students to Canadian women writers in English. After discussing certain aspects of Canadian history and analyzing factors that have contributed to women writers' visibility in the Canadian literary scene, selected writers, particularly from the late 20th century, will be examined, including those who record the lives of the white women settler society, address the migrant experiences in Canada as well as the concerns of various ethnic groups, and comment on the cultural genocide of Canada’s First Nations. Among others, such authors will include Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Chava Rosenfarb, Joy Kogawa, Ann-Marie McDonald and Eva Stachniak.
