SUMMARY:Imagining the North in Canadian Literature

SUMMARY:L'improvisation comme moyen littéraire | Atelier d'écriture avec Amélie Dumoulin
DESCRIPTION:????’???????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ????’???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????́???????????????????????????????????????????????? ????’????́???????????????????????????? ????????́????????????????????????????????́???? ???????????????? ????????????́???????????? ???????????????????????????????? \nAmélie Dumoulin vient du théâtre collaboratif. Dans cette approche\, le texte n’est pas rédigé au départ par un dramaturge\, il émerge des différentes improvisations des interprètes et de divers procédés d’écriture scénique. Pour peaufiner la partition finale du spectacle\, Amélie Dumoulin a vite dû apprendre à désacraliser le texte et à le percevoir plutôt comme un matériau\, malléable à l’infini.  \nAu moment de rédiger ses romans jeunesse ????????́ ???? ????????́ et ????????́ ???????????????????? (Québec Amérique\, 2015\, 2017)\, ainsi que ses contes ???????????????? et ???????????? (Québec Amérique\, 2019)\, Amélie Dumoulin a réalisé à quel point cette malléabilité textuelle l’avait aidée. Pour cet atelier\, elle propose donc de partager avec les auteur·trices amateur·es\, émergent·es ou professionnel·les ces techniques d’écriture basées sur l’improvisation\, dans le but de les aider à découvrir de nouvelles avenues de création.  \nGrand·es procrastineur·euses\, collectionneur·ses de projets inachevés ou patient·es atteint·es du Syndrome de la page blanche\, bienvenue! Amélie Dumoulin a des remèdes pour vos mots… euh maux! \n???? Date limite d’inscription : ???????? ????????́???????????????????? ????????????????➡️ Inscription : https://bit.ly/3nzRqcP \nAtelier offert en partenariat avec l’AAAPNB et MAGMA-AMGM. \n????̀ ???????????????????????? ???????? ????’???????????????????????????? \nAmélie Dumoulin s’amuse sur divers terrains d’écriture. En littérature jeunesse\, elle est l’autrice de ????????́ ???? ????????́ (Prix des libraires du Québec)\, ????????́ ????????????????????\, ???????????? et ????????????????\, tous publiés chez Québec Amérique. En théâtre\, elle collabore à l’écriture de spectacles avec les compagnies Joe Jack et John\, Des mots d’la dynamite\, et le Petit théâtre de Sherbrooke. Elle est également rédactrice au Centre national des Arts d’Ottawa et enseigne aux Muses : centre des arts de la scène\, à des artistes en situation de handicap.  \nLes textes d’Amélie Dumoulin traitent tous\, à leur manière\, de l’insolite expérience d’habiter un corps\, un monde\, d’être vivant.   \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/949437225943660/

SUMMARY:Battle Tales VII: Battle...With A Vengeance
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready? \nWe can’t hear you! \nWe SAID – Are… You… READY!!? \nYes\, it’s that time of year again\, folks!  \nAll ye Battlers\, gather your skill\, sharpen your wit and bring your “A” (and E\, I\, O\, U and sometimes Y) game\, because the seventh annual Battle Tales has arrived! \nYour THREE prompts for Battle Tales VII: Battle…With A Vengeance ARE: \n1. The gnashing of teeth2. A gleaming blade3. A dark tower looming in the distance \nOur second pandemic winter is almost over\, and with it comes the (hopefully) last stand of a desperate virus cornered by the miracle of modern science and the resilience of humanity in the face of great odds. By summer beach season\, many will be vaxxed\, waxed and ready to relax\, but before we see sunnier and better days\, the bitter chill of winter must be warmed by the heat of glorious battle… \nIn the span of 2\,500 words or fewer\, we humbly ask for your best and brightest short fiction to entertain and enlighten. Wow our illustrious judge with adventurous tales of derring-do\, or scandalous stories of murder most fowl – maybe the chicken did it! Now he’s gonna FRY! \nWhatever creative choices you choose to employ\, your story MUST incorporate all three prompts listed above. Beyond that? The breadth of your fictional world is yours to explore and conquer\, limited only by your imagination! \nUse the prompts as your opening lines\, or as the seeds of a greater mystery afoot\, or as pivotal plot points – creatively or passively\, the choice is yours and yours alone! \nAnd now\, dear Battlers\, the stage is set\, the stakes have been raised\, and the clarion call has been sent out to one and all. But before Battle commences\, heed the rules so a fair fight may ensue: \n– No names on entries (judging is blind!) – You MUST be a resident of Prince Edward Island to enter– Stories must be 2\,500 words or less– Anything received by 11:59 pm on Saturday\, February 26th will be accepted \nAnd that’s it! So without further ado… \nLET THE BATTLE BEGIN!! \n*To submit your story\, click on the following link\, or visit www.peiwritersguild.com for more details* \nSUBMIT: https://peiwritersguild.submittable.com/submit \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/267636955510886/

SUMMARY:Les littératures de la traversée\, avec le professeur Désiré Nyela
DESCRIPTION:LES LITTÉRATURES DE LA TRAVERSÉE (Lundi 21 février 2022\, 19h00 Atlantique) – Conférence du professeur Désiré Nyela suivie d’une discussion au sujet de son ouvrage récent\, paru aux Éditions Karthala en 2021. \nCette activité est organisée par l’Observatoire Nord/Sud de l’Université Sainte-Anne \nZOOM : https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87840416291?pwd=anFWcVZzU2t1NDlXNzNEcytjUGlFdz09 \nRÉSUMÉ DE L’OUVRAGE : Prenant acte de la mondialisation de la littérature\, Désiré Nyela entend renouveler la pensée de la francophonie : « littérature-monde »\, « littératures de la périphérie »\, « littératures mineures » ont été autant de concepts élaborés pour appréhender l’expérience linguistique de l’écrivain francophone. Proposant le concept de « littératures de la traversée »\, Désiré Nyela met d’abord l’accent sur la traversée des champs littéraires : il s’agit pour ces auteurs de s’imposer dans le champ culturel global par l’inventivité\, le détour\, pour repenser les enjeux de territoire et de langue. À qui appartient la langue française ? De quel territoire parle la littérature ? Désiré Nyela affronte ces questions fondamentales à partir de l’analyse des postures et des textes des écrivains majeurs de la francophonie. C’est un parcours qui nous est proposé à travers l’universalisme de Yambo Ouologuem\, la dé-nationalisation de la littérature chez Dany Laferrière qui se prétend « écrivain japonais »\, ou encore le refus de l’africanité de Kossi Efoui. Bouleversant les mythologies nationales et identitaires\, Désiré Nyela interroge la portée transnationale des littératures et la manière dont la figure du lecteur est réinvestie par une perspective mondiale. \nDÉSIRÉ NYELA est professeur titulaire au Département d’études françaises de l’Université Sainte-Anne en Nouvelle-Écosse (Canada). Il est docteur en stylistique de l’Université Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV). Ses recherches portent sur les littératures francophones ainsi que sur les littératures populaires. Outre ses nombreux articles et autres travaux parus dans des ouvrages collectifs\, il est l’auteur de Lignes de fronts. Le roman de guerre dans la littérature africaine (Presses de l’Université de Montréal\, 2009) et de La Filière noire. Dynamiques du polar « made in Africa » (Honoré Champion\, 2015). \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/668084974344582/

SUMMARY:"Pluck"\, an author reading with Donna Morrissey
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join us this evening for an author reading with local author\, Donna Morrissey\, as she shares with us\, her recently published memoir\, “Pluck”.  \nThe presentation will be shared online via ZOOM webinar and by phone via teleconference\, and you may join us from where ever you wish – by clicking on the ZOOM webinar link following below\,  \nJoin from a PC\, Mac\, iPad\, iPhone or Android device: Please click this URL to join. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84659933009?pwd=b2V0bHJ2WjVKai9xVzFKai85Rm80UT09Passcode: 174816 \nor by phone – please dial\, 1(800) 974-5902\, and then enter the  Conference ID\, 6217271. \n** Closed Captioning function (voice to text) is available through the ZOOM webinar.  \n* For assistance with the ZOOM technology during tonight’s author event\, please contact Cristal at the New Glasgow Library\, (902) 752-8233. \nAbout the Book:  \nA deeply personal account of love’s restorative ability as it leads renowned novelist Donna Morrissey through mental illness\, family death\, and despair to becoming a writer–told with charm and inimitable humour. \nWhen Donna Morrissey left the only home she had ever known\, an isolated Newfoundland settlement\, at age 16\, she was ready for adventure. She had grown up without television or telephones but had absorbed the tragic stories and comic yarns of her close-knit family and community. The death of her infant brother marked the family\, and years later\, Morrissey suffers devastating guilt about the accidental death of her teenage brother\, whom she’d enticed to join her in the oilfields. Her misery was compounded by her own misdiagnosis of a terminal illness\, all of which contributed to crippling anxiety and an actual diagnosis of PTSD. Many of those events and themes would eventually be transformed and recast as fictional gold in Morrissey’s novels. \nIn another writer’s hands\, Morrissey’s account of her personal story could easily be a tragedy. Instead\, she combines darkness and light\, levity and sadness into her tale\, as her indomitable spirit and humour sustain her. Morrissey’s path takes her from the drudgery of being a grocery clerk (who occasionally enlivens her shift with recreational drugs) to western oilfields\, to marriage and divorce and working in a fish-processing plant to support herself and her two young children. Throughout her struggles\, she nourishes a love of learning and language. \nMorrissey layers her account of her life with stories of those who came before her\, a breed rarely seen in the modern world. It centers around iron-willed women: mothers and daughters\, wives\, sisters\, teachers and mentors who find the support\, the wind for their wings\, outside the bounds given to them by nature. And it is a mysterious older woman she meets in Halifax who eventually unleashes the writer that Morrissey is destined to become. \nAn inspiring and insightful memoir\, Pluck illustrates that even when you find your self unravelling\, you can find a way to spin the yarns that will save you–and delight readers everywhere. \nAbout the Author: \nDonna Morrissey has published six nationally best selling novels. She has received awards in Canada\, the U.S. and England and her novel\, Sylvanus Now was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Prize. Donna’s fiction has been translated into several different languages. She was nominated for a Gemini for her script\, The Clothesline Patch\, her novel Sylvanus Now was shortlisted for the Commonwealth prize\, and her latest novel\, The Fortunate Brother\, spent six weeks on the best seller list\, and won the Arthur Ellis Award for best crime novel of 2017. Her memoir\, Pluck was released this year (2021) by Penguin\, Canada and quickly hit the bestsellers list.
