You and Me: Relational Ontologies in Canadian Comparative Literature

Abstract

"Insofar as Comparative Literature in Canada ostensibly provides a framework for critical and collaborative labour, it is also a crucial space for decolonization and the indigenization of university curricula and modes of research production. Decolonizing curricula and indigenizing research methods do not elide existing paradigms. They, rather, provide comparatists with a necessary adjustment to research practice: that of reframing.... And yet, in order to be able to reframe, we must also be able to collaborate."
