This course will examine the role of colonial and neo-colonial discourses in colonizing Indigenous social spaces, i.e., the spaces of Aboriginal communities, sacred sites, and traditional territories. Viewed as an aggregate of texts produced during the course of colonial and neocolonial expansion, "colonial discourse" may include within this definition: explorer journals, traveler accounts, administrative reports, naturalistic records, newspaper articles, scholarly studies, tourist guidebooks, literary inventions, etc. Beginning with the assumption that social-cultural geographies are interpreted and controlled through "representations of space", this course will explore how colonial discourses have imposed upon indigenous spaces ethnocentric meanings through the mode of textual representations. 2026/01/15-2026/04/23 Lecture Thursday 01:00PM - 04:00PM, Burnaby Main Building, Room 102
