On the Other Side(s) of 150 explores the different literary,
historical and cultural legacies of Canada's sesquicentennial
celebrations. It asks vital questions about the ways that histories
and stories have been suppressed and invites consideration about
what happens once a commemorative moment has passed.Like a Cubist
painting, this modality offers a critical strategy by which also to
approach the volume as dismantling, reassembling, and re-enacting
existing commemorative tropes; as offering multiple, conditional,
and contingent viewpoints that unfold over time; and as generating
a broader (although far from being comprehensive) range of
counter-memorial performances. The chapters in this volume are thus
provisional, interconnected, and adaptive: they offer critical
assemblages by which to approach commemorative narratives or
showcase lacunae therein; by which to return to and intervene in
ongoing readings of the past from the present moment; and by which
not necessarily to resolve, but rather to understand the troubled
and troubling narratives of the present moment. Contributors
propose that these preoccupations are not a means of turning away
from present concerns, but rather a means of grappling with how the
past informs or is shaped to inform them; and how such concerns are
defined by immediate social contexts and networks.
