Résumé:

"Diffracting the North is the first book to collect and share the experiences and material realities of Latinx Canadian creators of film, media, and visual arts. Bringing together scholars, filmmakers, curators, and artists from a range of Latin American backgrounds, this publication is a forthright and practitioner-driven reflection on the circumstances of producing and disseminating work in a country of predominantly anglophone and francophone environments. Contributors to the volume explore topics including how Latinx Canadian identity is constructed, negotiated, and expressed, as well as the networks and solidarities that shape Latinx Canadian experiences. These connections include intergenerational mentorships, cross-cultural alliances, and collaborations with Indigenous and other marginalized communities within racialized and gendered frameworks. This volume's contributions also demonstrate strategies of allyship, from learning with Indigenous artists to fostering hemispheric solidarity across feminist and migrant collectives. Moreover, this book highlights how Latinx Canadian art and film productions and experiences both challenge and enrich Canada's cultural landscape by intervening in dominant creative, academic, and curatorial practices. It recovers overlooked cultural histories through a series of analytical essays, interviews with artists and curators, and firsthand accounts of artistic practices, all with a focus on cultural efforts to build community. Amplifying the voices of Latinx Canadians and their communities and filling a critical gap in scholarship, Diffracting the North showcases the significance of Latin American diasporas within Canadian cultural contexts."-- Provided by publisher.
