Inhalt: The present volume is based on an international colloquium convened in 2010 to which scholars from North America and Europe contributed papers dealing with the historical, cultural, and literary connections between Canada and the American South. The essays on this broad but under-researched topic are arranged in four sections reflecting the multiple ties and the cultural circulation between the two large North American regions. They illuminate demographic facts and developments, and their literary representations, such as the enforced displacement of the 18th century Acadiens, who later reassembled in Louisiana (Cajun culture), and the flight of thousands of fugitive (African American) slaves to the safe haven of Canada. Special attention is focused on the intertextual links between Southern writers and their Canadian counterparts, with William Faulkner and Eudora Welty especially providing inspiration for Canadian authors such as Alice Munro, Jack Hodgins, and Margaret Atwood.

Inhalt: Der Band basiert auf den Vorträgen, die ExpertInnen aus Nordamerika und Europa bei einem internationalen Kolloquium 2010 an der ÖAW über die historischen, kulturellen und literarischen Beziehungen zwischen Kanada und dem amerikanischen Süden gehalten haben. Die Beiträge zu dem breiten und bisher noch nicht systematisch untersuchten Themenkomplex gruppieren sich um vier Schwerpunkte. Sie erhellen demographische Phänomene (und ihre künstlerische Verarbeitung) wie die Vertreibung der Acadiens im 18. Jahrhundert und ihre Ansiedlung in Louisiana (Cajuns) und die Flucht afroamerikanischer Sklaven nach Kanada im 19. Jahrhundert. Besonders aber werden die intertextuellen Beziehungen zwischen AutorInnen aus den Südstaaten der USA (etwa William Faulkner oder Eudora Welty) und von ihnen inspirierten kanadischen SchriftstellerInnen im 20. Jahrhundert (Alice Munro, Jack Hodgins, Margaret Atwood u. a.) untersucht. Der so geführte intensive Dialog zwischen den beiden Kulturräumen wird aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln und mit unterschiedlichen Methoden betrachtet und dabei kultur- und literarhistorisches Neuland betreten. Dies gilt auch für die Erörterung von parallelen gattungsspezifischen Entwicklungen in den beiden Gesellschaften. Neben den über zwanzig wissenschaftlichen Aufsätzen kommt auch das ludische Element in phantasievoll-kreativen Dialogen im Buch zu seinem Recht
