As a life-giving but also potentially destructive substance, water
occupies a prominent place in the imagination. At the same time,
water issues are among the most troubling ecological and social
concerns of our time. Water is often studied only as a "resource,"
a quantifiable and instrumentalized substance. Thinking with Water
instead invites readers to consider how water - with its potent
symbolic power, its familiarity, and its unique physical and
chemical properties - is a lively collaborator in our ways of
knowing and acting. What emerges is both a rich opportunity to
encourage more thoughtful environmental engagement and a challenge
to common oppositions between nature and culture. Drawing from a
pool of contributors with diverse backgrounds, Thinking with Water
presents the work of critics, scholars, artists, and poets in an
invitation to pay more attention to the aqueous aspects of our
lives. Contributors include: AElab (Gisele Trudel, UQAM and
Stephane Claude, Oboro), Stacy Alaimo (University of Texas at
Arlington), Andrew Biro (Acadia University), Mielle Chandler (York
University), Cecilia Chen (Concordia University), Dorothy Christian
(University of British Columbia), Adam Dickinson (poet, Brock
University), Max Haiven (Nova Scotia College of Art and Design),
Janine MacLeod (York University), Daphne Marlatt (poet, British
Columbia), Don McKay (poet, Newfoundland), Emily Rose Michaud
(Artist, Wakefield, Qc.), Astrida Neimanis (Linkoping University),
Sarah Renshaw (artist, Rhode Island), Shirley Roburn (Concordia
University), Melanie Siebert (poet, University of Victoria),
Jennifer B. Spiegel (Concordia University), Veronica Strang
(Durham, UK), Rae Staseson (Concordia University), Rita Wong (Emily
Carr University of Art and Design), and Peter C. van Wyck
(Concordia University).
