This anthology emanated from a conference in St. Johnâ (TM)s, Newfoundland, that brought together popular music scholars, folklorists and ethnomusicologists from Canada and Australia. Implicit in that conference and in this anthology is the comparability of the two countries. Their â ~post-colonialâ (TM) status (if that is indeed an appropriate modifier in either case) has some points of similarity. On the other hand, their â ~distanceâ (TM) â " from hegemonic centres, from colonial histories â " is arguably more a matter of contrast than similarity. Canada and Australia are similar in various regards. Post-colonial in the sense that they are both former British colonies, they now each have more than a century of stature as nation states. By the beginning of the 21st century, they are each modest in size but rich in ethnocultural diversity. Nonetheless, each country has some skeletons in the closet where openness to difference, to indigenous and new immigrant groups are concerned. Both countries are similarly both experiencing rapid shifts in cultural makeup with the biggest population increases in Australia coming from China, India, and South Africa, and the biggest in Canada from Afro-Caribbean, South Asian countries, and China. The chapters in this anthology constitute an important comparative initiative. Perhaps the most obvious point of comparison is that both countries create commercial music in the shadow of the hegemonic US and British industries. As the authors demonstrate, both proximity (specifically Canadaâ (TM)s nearness to the US) and distance have advantages and disadvantages. As the third and fourth largest Anglophone music markets for popular music, they face similar issues relating to music management, performance markets, and production. A second relationship, as chapters in this anthology attest, is the significant movement between the two countries in a matrix of exchange and influence among musicians that has rarely been studied hitherto. Third, both countries invite comparison with regard to the popular music production of diverse social groups within their national populations. In particular, the tremendous growth of indigenous popular music has resulted in opportunities as well as challenges. Additionally, however, the strategies that different waves of immigrants have adopted to devise or localize popular music that was both competitive and meaningful to their own people as well as to a larger demographic bear comparison. The historical similarities and differences as well as the global positionality of each country in the early 21st century, then, invites comparison relating to musical practices, social organization, lyrics as they articulate social issues, career strategies, industry structures and listeners.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject English - Literature, Works, Mouloud Mammeri University of Tizi-ouzou (Department of English), course: Littérature comparée (Africaine et Britanique), language: English, abstract: This paper is concerned with the issues of mimicry and hybridity in two novels belonging to two antagonistic periods in contemporary literary history: the colonial and the postcolonial literatures. It explores through the genre of juvenile fiction the way Ayi Kwei Armah's The Healers (1978) grappled with the legacy of Rudyard Kipling in terms of cultural and educational frames of reference. In effect, we postulate that, not only is Armah keen to distance his narrative from the far-reaching political and cultural implications inscribed in the colonial project of mimicry, but he is equally eager to take full advantage of the abrogative and appropriative thrusts inherent in the hybrid discourse in order to formulate a sense of identity and purpose that is new and native. Résumé Cet article est une étude des questions de la mimique (mimicry) et de l'hybridité dans deux romans appartenant à deux périodes littéraires contemporaines antagonistes: la période coloniale et la période postcoloniale. Il explore à travers le genre de la littérature juvénile la manière avec laquelle la fiction de Armah The Healers (1978) s'attaque à l'héritage de Rudyard Kipling, en termes de culture et d'éducation. Notre postulat est que, non seulement Armah prend ses distances vis-à-vis des implications du projet colonial de mimique, mais aussi il exploite les strategies d'assimilation et d'abrogation latent dans le discours hybride en vue de formuler un sens de l'identité et d'objectif qui est nouveau et local.
