Dance of the Sexes

Art and Gender in the Fiction of Alice Munro

By: Beverly Rasporich

The sexual revolution and its unsettling redefinitions have led to a new sensitivity to the impact of gender on the artistic imagination. In particular, women writers have entered an exciting new era in which their gender-related fictional strategies are being uncovered and understood. Dance of the Sexes investigates the ways in which the fiction of Canadian author Alice Munro is shaped by her sex."--Page 4 of cover.

Made-in-Canada Humour

Literary, folk and popular culture

By: Beverly J. Rasporich

Made-in-Canada-Humour is an interdisciplinary survey and analysis of Canadian humour and humorists in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book focuses on a variety of genres. It includes celebrated Canadian writers and poets with ironic and satiric perspectives; oral storytellers of tall tales in the country and the city; newspaper print humorists; representative national and regional cartoonists; and comedians of stage, radio and television. The humour gives voice to Canadian values and experiences, and consequently, techniques and styles of humour particular to the country. While a persistent comic theme has been joking at the expense of the United States, both countries have influenced one another’s humour. Canada’s unique humorous tradition also reflects its emergence from a colonial country to a postcolonial and postmodern nation with contemporary humour that addresses gender and racial issues.

Magic Off Main

The Art of Esther Warkov

By: Beverly Jean Rasporich,Esther Warkov

Magic Off Main chronicles the life and art of Esther Warkov, a visual artist of Jewish heritage who lives in Winnipeg and paints in a surrealistic and postmodern style. By tracing the development of Warkovs art over forty years, Rasporich addresses aspects of biography, social and cultural history, and art history in a cohesive volume. This biography is not limited to the narrow discipline of art and art history. Rather, it is a contribution to the larger field of Canadian studies, including cultural studies, and social history.
