Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Explores the relationship between visual media, the construction of Canadian national identity, and notions of embodiment. It asks how representations of bodies are constructed and performed within mediated content, and emphasizes the ways individuals destabilize national visual tropes, and can destabilize nationalist messages.
