Summary

The essays in Canadian Cultural Exchange / Echanges culturels au Canada provide a nuanced view of Canadian transcultural experience. Rather than considering Canada as a bicultural dichotomy of colonizer/colonized, this book examines a field of many cultures and the creative interactions among them. This study discusses, from various perspectives, Canadian cultural space as being in process of continual translation of both the other and oneself. Les articles reunis dans Canadian Cultural Exchange / Echanges culturels au Canada donnent de l'experience transculturelle canadienne une image nuancee. Plutot que dans les termes d'une dichotomie biculturelle entre colonisateur et colonise, le Canada y est vu comme champ ou plusieurs cultures interagissent de maniere creative. Cette etude presente sous de multiples aspects le processus continu de traduction d'autrui et de soi-meme auquel l'espace culturel canadien sert de theatre.
