An exclusively Canadian textbook, this collection investigates the
relationships between identity, geography, and popular culture that
are produced and consumed in this sprawling country. Expanding
beyond the cliches of friendliness and snow, this text provides a
fresh perspective on what it means to be Canadian, both nationally
and transnationally. Scholars look at historical subjects like
Quebecois identity and Indigenous self-representation and explore
issues in contemporary media, including music, film, television,
comic books, video games, and social media. From Drake to the
Tragically Hip, Trailer Park Boys to The Amazing Race Canada, and
poutine to maple syrup, mainstream icons and trends are studied in
the interdisciplinary context of race, gender, sexuality, politics,
and patriotism. Contributing to the location of Canadian popular
culture, this unique resource will engage students and scholars of
communication studies, cultural studies, and Canadian studies.
Features includes key concepts and theories and a glossary engages
students with relatable historical and contemporary examples of
Canadiana through a breadth of media, including television shows,
websites, journals, celebrities, newspapers, literature, comic
books, video games, music, and films ensures equal representation
of a national and transnational Canada, which includes examples of
race, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity, with particular attention
to geographical intricacies that contain all provinces and
territories
