Forthcoming book announcement! All the Feels / Tous les sens: Affect and Writing in Canada / Affect et écriture au Canada, edited by Marie Carrière, Ursula Mathis-Moser, and yours truly. Expected spring 2020 from the University of Alberta Press. Read the Press’ page here.
I’m thrilled about this book. All the Feels / Tous les sens presents research into emotion and cognition in Canadian, Indigenous, and Québécois writings in English and French. The emerging field of affect studies makes vital claims about ethical impulses, social justice, and critical resistance, and thus much is at stake when readers adopt affective reading practices. The essays in this collection are whip-smart and vital (if I may say so!).
