Marie Carriere
I am a specialist of Canadian and Québécois literatures, with a particular interest in contemporary fiction and poetry, feminist and queer studies, Indigenous writing, feminist ecologies, crisis literature, comparative approaches, and writing by women. I have taught several courses and supervised student work in these areas and at various levels, in the departments of both English & Film Studies and Modern Languages & Cultural Studies. I am Past Director of the Canadian Literature Centre/Centre de littérature canadienne, a bilingual research centre in the Faculty of Arts, and am currently Associate Dean (Research). Born in Ottawa, Ontario sometime in the 1970s, I enjoy reading, flowers, music, cooking, kayaking, zumba, travelling, and time with my family.

Books by Marie Carriere
Contributors: Nicole Brossard, Marie Carrière, Matthew Cormier, Kit Dobson, Nicoletta Dolce, Louise Dupré, Margery Fee, Ana María Fraile-Marcos, Smaro Kamboureli, Aaron Kreuter, Daniel Laforest, Carmen Mata Barreiro, Ursula Mathis-Moser, Heather Milne, Eric Schmaltz, Maïté Snauwaert, Jeanette den Toonder
Familiarizing readers with major streams of feminist thought, including intersectionality, affect theory, and care ethics, Carrière shows how literary works by such authors as Dionne Brand, Nicole Brossard, Naomi Fontaine, Larissa Lai, Tracey Lindberg, and Rachel Zolf, among others, tackle the entanglement of gender with race, settler-invader colonialism, heteronormativity, positionality, language, and the posthuman condition. Meanwhile tenable alliances among Indigenous women, women of colour, and settler feminist practitioners emerge. Carrière's tone is personal and accessible throughout - in itself a metafeminist gesture that both encompasses and surpasses a familiar feminist form of writing.
Despite the growing anti-feminist backlash across media platforms and in various spheres of political and social life, a hopefulness animates this timely work that, like metafeminism, stands alert to the challenges that feminism faces in its capacity to effect social change in the twenty-first century.

Papers by Marie Carriere
This study broaches an ethics of care based on philosopher Joan Tronto’s moral and political understanding (1993; [1993] 2009). Yet care can also be understood through literature. In Louise Dupré’s L’album multicolore (2014), care figures as a phenomenology of ordinary life, an ethical ontology of the subject, as well as a poetics. In the poetry collections Plus haut que les flammes (2010) and La main hantée (2016), writing draws directly from the notion of care to commemorate bodies and words laid waste by some of the horrors of human history. The resurgence of care in contemporary thought – indeed like Dupré’s writing – widens and deepens the feminism from which it stems.
