This issue entitled “Canadian Fictions of Globality” aims at analyzing how a minute, singled-out field of sociological overtones ingrained in the dynamics of globalization is being engaged within the fictional (and critical) literary production ascribed to present-day Canada. The scholarly responses tackle globality from various angles: is it a condition of the postmodern present? Is globality a fiction of newness worth appending to cultural manifestations for marketing purposes? Is the presumed irrelevance of borders so apparent? Which new mechanisms are adopted to demarcate community boundaries anew after their transgression? The Canadian narratives selected by the contributors for this volume embody a groundwork for the materialization of global imaginaries and a plethora of answers to the questions above.
