| Resumen: |
Ciencia ficción, fantasÃa y terror canadienses: Uniendo las soledades expone las limitaciones del concepto de soledad que tan a menudo se aplica acrÃticamente a la experiencia canadiense. Este volumen examina la literatura fantástica canadiense y quebequense en todos sus géneros (como la ciencia ficción, la fantasÃa, el terror, el futurismo indÃgena y otros) y considera cómo su interrogatorio del colonialismo, el nacionalismo, la raza y el género sirve para salvar múltiples soledades. Utilizando una lente transnacional, este volumen revela cómo lo fantástico está preparado para explorar, en términos no literales, la naturaleza compleja y problemática del compromiso intercultural. |

| Summary : |
Canadian Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror: Bridging the Solitudes exposes the limitations of the solitudes concept so often applied uncritically to the Canadian experience. This volume examines Canadian and Québécois literature of the fantastic across its genres—such as science fiction, fantasy, horror, indigenous futurism, and others—and considers how its interrogation of colonialism, nationalism, race, and gender works to bridge multiple solitudes. Utilizing a transnational lens, this volume reveals how the fantastic is ready-made for exploring, in non-literal terms, the complex and problematic nature of intercultural engagement. |
