The Apostle of Reason: Hegel & The Desire for Emancipation in the 21st Century
Get PDFThis article critically engages Todd McGowan's book, Emancipation After Hegel. Through McGowan's book, the author offers a Marxist-Hegelian interpretation of universal emancipation elaborated through a Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective. Drawing on McGowan, the author suggests that the relevance of Hegel today only comes after we read him through Marx and Freud. The article concludes by proposing the rhetoric of Democratic Socialism as an emancipatory concept for the 21st century.https://ir.canterbury.ac.nz/handle/10092/1711
A new polymorph of phenylselenium trichloride
Get PDFA second polymorph of phenylselenium trichloride, PhSeCl3 or C6H5Cl3Se, is
disclosed, which is comprised of asymmetric chlorine-bridged noncovalent
dimer units rather than polymeric chains. These dimers are each weakly bound
to an adjacent dimer through noncovalent Se...Cl bonding interactions. Phenyl
rings within each dimer are oriented in a syn fashion. Density functional theory
(DFT) calculations reveal that the putative anti isomer is within 5 kJ mol-1 of
the experimentally observed form. This structure represents the first additional
polymorph discovered for an organoselenium trihalide compound.https://doi.org/10.1107/S205322961901301
Avant-propos: Compagnons à la lisière de l'Islande
Get PDFLa récente publication de Wayward Heroes, traduite par Philip Roughton, constitue un événement marquant pour la littérature mondiale. Il s’agit de la première traduction directe de l’islandais à anglais du roman Gerpla de Halldór Laxness. Qu’un volume spécial d’Études scandinaves au Canada soit désormais consacré aux critiques se rapportant au roman épique, à son auteur impressionnant et à la littérature médiévale dont le roman tire son inspiration, est également un événement marquant. De telles étapes-clé témoignent de l’importance et de l’influence persistantes des sagas médiévales islandaises et des œuvres de Halldór Laxness, qui a notamment remporté le prix Nobel de littérature en 1955.https://scancan.net/pdf/mcgillivray_2_26.pd
Hydrological and seasonal controls of phosphorus in Northern Great Plains agricultural streams
Get PDFPostprintControls on nutrient transport in cold, low relief agricultural regions vary dramatically among seasons. The spring snowmelt is often the dominant runoff and nutrient loading event of the year. However, climate change may increase the proportion of runoff occurring with rainfall and there is an urgent need to understand seasonal controls on nutrient transport in order to understand how patterns may change in the future. In this study, we assess patterns and drivers of total phosphorus (TP) dynamics in eight streams draining agriculturally-dominated watersheds, located in southern Manitoba, Canada. Data from three years of monitoring revealed highly coherent patterns of TP concentrations in streams, with pronounced peaks in the spring and mid- summer across the region. This coherent pattern was in spite of considerable interannual variability in the magnitude and timing of discharge; in particular, a major storm event occurred in summer 2014, which resulted in more discharge than the preceding spring melt. Concentration-discharge model fits were generally poor or not significant, suggesting that runoff generation is not the primary driver of TP dynamics in the majority of streams. Seasonal patterns of conductivity and stream temperature suggest mechanisms controlling TP vary by season; a spring TP concentration maximum may be related to surface runoff over frozen soils while the summer TP maximum may be related to temperature-driven biogeochemical processes, which are not well-represented in current conceptual or predictive models. These findings suggest that controls on stream TP concentrations are dynamic through the year, and responses to increases in dormant and non-dormant season temperatures may depend on seasonally-variable processes
Foreword: Companions on the Edge of Iceland
Get PDFThe recent publication of Wayward Heroes, translated by Philip Roughton, marks a significant event for world literature, the first direct translation from Icelandic to English of Halldór Laxness’s masterpiece novel Gerpla. It is also a landmark event that a special volume of Scandinavian-Canadian Studies is now dedicated to criticism related to the epic novel, its formidable author, and the medieval literature from which the novel draws inspiration. Both demonstrate the continuing importance and influence of the medieval Icelandic sagas and of the works of Halldór Laxness, who notably won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955.https://scancan.net/pdf/mcgillivray_1_26.pd

Ending or Obscuring Homelessness? Applying the White Racial Frame to Homeless Literature in Canada
Get PDFWinner of the Institute of Urban Studies Student Paper 2019 Contest.This paper summarizes existing literature on homelessness throughout Canada and then applies the White Racial Frame (WRF) to analyze homeless literature collected as part of two research projects to answer two questions: (1) What are the effects of WRF on our understanding of homelessness? (2) What are the implications for future research and action toward reducing homelessness
Représentations de la filiation dans les littératures francophone et autochtone du Canada dans le contexte des Amériques
No full textCet article dont la réflexion se situe à la croisée des études littéraires, des études comparatistes et transculturelles explore différentes représentations de la filiation (familiale, culturelle et communautaire) dans les littératures francophone et autochtone contemporaines du Canada, dans le contexte des Amériques. On rapproche ainsi des textes d’un écrivain québécois comme Éric Dupont, un récit autobiographique d’une écrivaine canadienne anglophone, Jenny Heijun Wills, et un témoignage d’une auteure autochtone, Jane Willis, par la mise en tension entre le sujet littéraire, la lignée familiale et culturelle et la communauté. Ayant recours aux notions de «bâtard» et «d’orphelin» de Marthe Robert et au concept de «nomadisme» de Rosi Braidotti, nous réfléchissons à de nouvelles figures d’appartenance, au-delà de ’exclusion. Nous montrons que la filiation n’est pas une donnée fixe et immuable mais un processus inachevé/inachevable, atalyseur de créativité.At the intersection of literary, comparative and transcultural studies, this article explores various representations of filiation (among the family, culturally and via the community) in contemporary Francophone and Indigenous literatures of Canada as part of the Americas. This approach leads us to compare texts by the Quebecois writer Éric Dupont, a memoir by the Anglophone-Canadian Jenny Heijun Wills and a testimonial by the Indigenous author Jane Willis. We focus on the tensions between the literary subject, the family genealogy, the cultural background and the community. Through the theoretical notions of “bastard” and “orphan” in Marthe Robert’s work and through the conception of “nomadism” in Rosi Braidotti, we study new figures of belonging beyond exclusion. Thus, we show that filiation is not only fixed data but an ongoing process driven by and driving creativity.https://periodicos.ufpel.edu.br/ojs2/index.php/interfaces/article/view/1767
