    Writing back to Massa : the black open letter in transnational abolitionist print culture / Alyssa MacLean -- The industrial newspaper and the politics of content / Michael Stamm -- Music within bounds : distribution, borders, and the Canadian recording industry / Richard Sutherland -- Heroes, borders, and Canadian culture : the Superman reclamation project / Lee Easton and Kelly Hewson -- An empire of pixels : Canadian cultural enterprise in the digital effects industry / Richard R. Acland -- Commemorating the (in)visible border : the Underground Railroad monument and the production of transnational memory / Brittney Anne Bos -- Flexible nations : Canadian romance writers, American romance, and the romance of Canada / Jessica Taylor -- Cross-border film adaptation and life of Pi / Gillian Roberts -- Acadian identities, arcadian dreams : revisioning Evangeline north of the border / Jennifer Andrews -- Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy : reading across borders / Kit Dobson -- "We have to get along with others" : cosmopolitanism and cross-border literary history / Zalfa Feghali. "Is Superman Canadian? Who decides, and what is at stake in such a question? How is the Underground Railroad commemorated differently in Canada and the United States, and can those differences be bridged? How can we acknowledge properly the Canadian labour behind Hollywood filmmaking, and what would that do to our sense of national cinema? Reading between the Borderlines grapples with these questions and others surrounding the production and consumption of literary, cinematic, musical, visual, and print culture across the Canada-US border. Discussing a range of popular as well as highbrow cultural forms, this collection investigates patterns of cross-border cultural exchange that become visible within a variety of genres, regardless of their place in any arbitrarily devised cultural hierarchy. The essays also consider the many interests served, compromised, or negated by the operations of the transnational economy, the movement of culture's "raw material" across nation-state borders in literal and conceptual terms, and the configuration of a material citizenship attributed to or negotiated around border-crossing cultural objects. Challenging the oversimplification of cultural products labelled either "Canadian" or "American," Reading between the Borderlines contends with the particularities and complications of North American cultural exchange, both historically and in the present."--

    "When Canadian authors win prestigious literary prizes, from the Governor General's Literary Award to the Man Booker Prize, they are celebrated not only for their achievements, but also for contributing to this country's cultural capital. Discussions about culture, national identity, and citizenship are particularly complicated when the honorees are immigrants, like Michael Ondaatje, Carol Shields, or Rohinton Mistry. Then there is the case of Yann Martel, who is identified both as Canadian and as rootlessly cosmopolitan. How have these writers' identities been recalibrated in order to claim them as 'representative' Canadians? Prizing Literature is the first extended study of contemporary award winning Canadian literature and the ways in which we celebrate its authors. Gillian Roberts uses theories of hospitality to examine how prize-winning authors are variously received and honoured depending on their citizenship and the extent to which they represent 'Canadianness.' Prizing Literature sheds light on popular and media understandings of what it means to be part of a multicultural nation."--pub. desc
