Narratives of crisis – crisis of narrative

The early 21st century has proved to be a time of crises in the fields of the economy, ecology and politics, the events of September 11, 2001 being a harrowing starting point of the new millennium. These crises have left their mark on the way we write and read about our world in fi ction as well as nonfiction. Narratives of Crisis – Crisis of Narrative brings together views by European and Canadian literary and media scholars on the crisis of narrative in a transatlantic context. This volume has arisen from the cooperation of the Marburg Centre for Canadian Studies with corresponding institutions at the Universities of Strasbourg and Nantes.
