Building on Alicia Elliott’s exhortation to “do the work” in “CanLit is a Raging Dumpster Fire,” I pursue the metonymic after the metaphoric. In metaphor, one thing substitutes for another: the dumpster fire takes the place of the field of relations that creates the conditions for controversies and crises. In contrast, metonymy is contiguous: its readability depends on showing the conventional, assumed, or actual relationships between one thing and another. Metaphor conceals connections; metonymy works by virtue of them. Three recent Canadian plays help me think about what metonymy can add to discourse about doing the work: Daniel MacIvor’s Who Killed Spalding Gray? (2017), Jess Dobkin’s The Magic Hour (2017), and Marcus Youssef and James Long’s Winners and Losers (2015). My strategy is metonymical like “CanLit” is: I read each play for an insight it might offer within the signifying field of Canadian literature, culture, and nation.
基于艾丽西亚·艾略特在《CanLit is a Raging Dumpster Fire》中对“做好工作”的告诫,我在隐喻之后追求转喻。在隐喻中,一件事代替了另一件事:垃圾箱大火取代了为争议和危机创造条件的关系领域。相反,转喻是连续的:它的可读性取决于显示一件事和另一件事之间的传统、假设或实际关系。隐喻隐藏着联系;转喻正是凭借它们而起作用的。最近的三部加拿大戏剧帮助我思考转喻可以为工作话语添加什么:丹尼尔·麦克伊沃的《谁杀了斯伯丁·格雷?(2017),杰西·多布金的《魔法时刻》(2017)以及马库斯·优素福和詹姆斯·朗的《赢家与输家》(2015)。我的策略是像《CanLit》一样的转喻:我阅读每一部戏剧,以了解它在加拿大文学、文化和国家的象征领域中可能提供的见解。

L’ecriture litteraire dans la langue colonisatrice est un choix conscient pour l’auteur.trice autochtone. Dans Chroniques de Kitchike de Louis-Karl Picard-Sioui (Wendat) et de Breviaire du matricule 082 de Maya Cousineau-Mollen (Innu), ces deux nouvelles voix litteraires illustrent la depossession identitaire des leur. Chez P.-Sioui, la reappropriation passe par l’humour et les jeux semantiques. Dans ses nouvelles, il illustre les travestissements identitaires en jouant sur les vocables et en soulignant le caractere fictif de la connaissance des langues ancestrales. Pour C.-Mollen, la reappropriation de la narration identitaire s’exprime plutot par le sarcasme et la colere. Si, la poetesse joue sur la langue coloniale legislative ayant reduit l’identite « indienne » a des chiffres, elle y repond par la resurgence de l’Innu-aimun. Cela dit, sa reappropriation est egalement celle de sa condition de femme autochtone revendiquant sa sexualite liberee des fictions coloniales de la princesse ou de la « squaw ».

This paper investigates Jeff Derksen’s citational poetics in The Vestiges, and how this text’s creative practice critically examines the processes of neoliberalization in the present. With citational poetics, I see Derksen’s writing copy and comment on multiple textual forms in order to depict the poem’s role in social observation alongside its ability mobilize and array these textual forms against structures that far exceed the structure of the poem itself. The Vestiges in turn displays how the disparate materials of the long neoliberal moment and the traces of its manifold processes—from critical theory and chart topping hits to overthrown governments—can be brought to bear on the present, and specifically how mobilizing these different kinds of textual and historical matter locate citational poetics within a wider project of anti-capitalist research.
