Abstract (English)

Cousineau-Levine argues that Canadian photography has a tradition distinct from American and European photography, and locates it in a “feminine” preoccupation with death and dying. The author does not think this preoccupation is entirely negative, but rather, sees it as a necessary developmental stage that can be superseded. Thus, she rests her argument in the same in-between zone she claims Canadian photography to depict, and exhorts Canadians to embrace their polymorphous, feminine side. Bibl. 18 p. Index. List of illustrations.
