Canadian literature. Overall, a literary 'scene' that used to hinge on rural tropes, miserable long winters, hockey eh, and ironic heroism. Yet with the rise of postmodernism and cultural globalization, Canlit has 'evolved' to literature frequently mired in identity, cultural appropriation, sexuality, power politics and other vain pretentious postmodern rubbish. Canlit is a potemkin cultural effort to establish literary relevance, because Canada is actually a first world resource colony / banana republic, with culture determined by difference, resentment and a lust for reparations. Perhaps Canlit stands as a global signpost for the age of vacuous social media, rebooted CGI films, musical mashups approximating innovative originality, and a general loss of humanist transcendence in the wake of ascendant cybernetic fascism.
