Imagining Resistance: Visual Culture and Activism in Canada

Title Page, Copyright

Imagining Resistance Cultural Studies Series Cultural Studies is the multi- and inter-disciplinary study of culture, defined anthropologically as a“way of life,”performatively as symbolic practice, and ideologically as the collective product of varied media and cultural industries. Although Cultural Studies is a relative newcomer to the humanities and social sciences, in less than half a century it has taken interdisciplinary scholarship to a new level of sophistication,reinvigorating the liberal arts curriculum with new theories, topics, and forms of intellectual partnership. Wilfrid Laurier University Press invites submissions of manuscripts concerned with critical discussions on power relations concerning gender, class, sexual preference, ethnicity, and other macro and micro sites of political struggle.
