In the past few years, the concept of "liminality" has become a
kind of pet theme within the discipline of Cultural Studies,
lending itself to phenomena of transgression and systemic
demarcation. This anthology employs theories of liminality to
discuss Canada's geographic and symbolic boundaries, taking its
point of departure from the observation that "Canada" itself, as a
cultural, political, and geographic entity, encapsulates elements
of the "liminal." The essays comprised in this volume deal with
fragmented and contradictory practices in Canada, real and imagined
borders, as well as contact zones, thresholds, and transitions in
Anglo-Canadian and French-Canadian texts, discussing topics such as
the U.S./Canadian border, migration, French-English relations, and
encounters between First Nations and settlers.
