Description
All the Feels / Tous les sens presents research into emotion and cognition in Canadian, Indigenous, and Québécois writings in English or French. Affect is both internal and external, private and public; with its fluid boundaries, it represents a productive dimension for literary analysis. The emerging field of affect studies makes vital claims about ethical impulses, social justice, and critical resistance, and thus much is at stake when we adopt affective reading practices. The contributors ask what we can learn from reading contemporary literatures through this lens. Unique and timely, readable and teachable, this collection is a welcome resource for scholars of literature, feminism, philosophy, and transnational studies as well as anyone who yearns to imagine the world differently.

Editorial Reviews
"Le fait de présenter de façon complémentaire des analyses académiques et des points de vue d’écrivaines constitue un atout majeur du recueil, puisqu’il permet au lecteur de voir comment l’affect joue un rôle dans la pratique de l’écriture. S’y ajoutent la réflexion théorique qui constitue un fil rouge à travers les différentes contributions, une attention pour la particularité anglaise, française et autochtone de la littérature canadienne et une inscription engagée dans les débats qui secouent et affectent nos sociétés contemporaines." Alex Demeulenaere, Zeitschrift für Kanada-Studien 2022 [Article complet: http://www.kanada-studien.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/zks_2022_14_Rez.pdf]
"Readers with a basic understanding of affect theory, as well as those who are new to the field, will find that this collection opens fascinating avenues for inquiry into the affective possibilities in Canadian literature. It presents an alternative approach to studies in literature- one that considers the integrated nature of thoughts and feelings." [Full review at https://canlit.ca/article/feeling-it-all/]
Rachel Fernandes, Canadian Literature, Oct. 2021
"The complementary presentation of academic analysis and women writers' perspectives is a major strength of the collection, as it allows the reader to perceive the role affect plays in the practice of writing. Added to this is the theoretical reflection that runs through all the various contributions, an alertness to the English, French, and Aboriginal particularities of Canadian literature, and an engaged participation in the debates that shake and affect our contemporary societies." Alex Demeulenaere, Zeitschrift für Kanada-Studien 2022 [Translated. Article complet: http://www.kanada-studien.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/zks_2022_14_Rez.pdf]
