Beskrivning
ReVisions examines speculative fiction, film, and television created by artists in Canada and reflecting their distinct experiences. Bringing together critical and creative works by eighteen different authors, the book re-envisions Canadian politics, cultures, and societies and asks important questions about representations of our world.The collection examines the realm of the past through a futuristic, speculative lens, asking readers to revise their understandings of past events and current relationships. Editor Wendy Roy assembles a variety of investigations of Canada and the larger world, including studies of the use of apocalyptic and dystopian scenarios by Indigenous writers to revisit 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.
