Join Wendy Roy and a panel of contributors for the Saskatoon launch of her book ReVisions: Speculating in Literature and Film in Canada (University of Toronto Press).
This event will be held in the Travel Alcove and as a simultaneous YouTube livestream.
Editor Wendy Roy is Bateman Professor in the Department of English. She will be joined for a panel discussion by local contributors Mabiana Camargo, Jessica McDonald, Kai McKenzie, MacKenzie Read, Jasmine Redford, Gwen Rose, and Iris Hauser.
ReVisions brings together critical and creative works by eighteen authors to explore dystopian and apocalyptic fiction and film in Canada. The collection examines Canada’s past and present through a futuristic lens, asking readers to revise their understandings of past events, including Canada’s history of colonization. The varied contributions demonstrate that speculative writing can help us to see what is happening in the world around us and at the same time to re-envision it, to reconsider the consequences of our actions, and to imagine revised and perhaps better futures.
