Imaging Settlement and Displacement: At Home in KA-NA-TA
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the concept of “home” and how it has been defined and produced in Canadian visual culture from the time Europeans set foot on the land the Iroquois called Ka-na-ta, now known as Canada. In each chapter, the author examines how "home" has come to be imaged and imagined in specific ways in specific periods. She includes observations of Katherine Jane Ellice, an upper-class British observer whose 1838 diary offers a vivid account of settlement life, cross-cultural encounters and the tensions between imperial authority and local realities in Quebec’s Chateauguay Valley during the rebellion period.
