Item Agents of change. Feminist literary magazines, editors, and the politics of cultural production in Canada (1970-2000)(2020) Markowicz, Marcin; Rzepa, Agnieszka. PromotorThis study investigates the role of feminist literary magazines and their editors as facilitators of change within Canadian literary and cultural field from the 1970s through the 1990s. Such an investigation entails a broader analysis of the politics of cultural production in Canada with a focus on the production and editing of selected publications in the context of feminist publishing and alternative publishing, including an analysis of networks, relations and exchanges among editors, contributors, readers, and institutions. The publications chosen for analysis – Room of One’s Own (1975- ), Fireweed (1978-2002), CV2 (1975- ), Tessera (1984-2005) and (f.)Lip (1987-1990) – are examined as representatives of women’s literary magazine culture that emerges in the mid-1970s, signaling a shift in Canadian literary magazine history that has remained largely unexplored. Research questions at the core of the study relate to the nature of agency of both editors and their publications, the degree of embeddedness of feminist periodical production in changing socio-political and cultural contexts, the politics of editing and producing feminist literary magazines in Canada, and the links between editing, representation and legitimation of writing by women marginalized on the grounds of race, sexual orientation and class.
