The development of Canadian literature in the 21st century

T
he contemporary art culture of Canada (and, first of all,
its peculiar poetry) was formed under the conditions of a
focused state policy, the main core of which can be denoted by
the concept of “multiculturalism”.
Multiculturalism is a complex interdisciplinary phenomenon
of modern culture, which developed mainly in the USA in the
80–90s of the XX century, but laid down in the emergence of
American culture and grew out of various literary (40–70s of the
XX century) and cultural theories (60–70-ies of XX century.)
Multiculturalism can be attributed to cultural research, although
it affects various areas of public life — from politics and sociology
to literature and art. And has analogies in the cultural traditions
of other countries where there is ethnic plurality and ethnic race
m diversity: in the UK, Austria, Switzerland, France, as well
as in the objectively multicultural continents of Australia and
New Zealand, Africa. However, only in Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, and Malaysia is multiculturalism a public policy. Thus,
the mindset in society, corresponding to this concept, in the last
thirty years of the 20th century was affirmed not only in Canada
and in each of these countries have their own characteristics. For
example, in the named countries of the Asia-Pacific region, this
phenomenon was associated with an active influx of immigrants
from Asia and Latin America.
In them, in addition to Canada, the problems of national self-
awareness and self-identification of ethnic minorities intensified;
there was a need to form a reasonable cultural policy that
takes into account the interaction of many different traditions
(religious, family, artistic) within one country.
Therefore, it is important to find out why, with similar
phenomena in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region in the
context of global migration of people and the integration of
their artistic and cultural traditions into the culture of other
countries. Only Canada manages to successfully develop without
interethnic and other conflicts and occupy a leading place in
the world in welfare and international cultural initiatives with
other countries. It is equally important today to find out how
European and Eastern cultures interact on the territory of
Canada, since 79 % of the population of modern Canada are
immigrants (mainly creative intelligentsia from Asia and Africa)
and according to which model the culture of modern Canada
develops in comparison with countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
In Canada, from the beginning of the 70s of the 20th century,
when the Government passed the “Act on Multiculturalism” in
1971, and in 1972, the Senate of Canada signed a document
on the development of Japanese studies and centers for Asian
studies, the influence of Japanese culture is especially noticeable.
Despite the prevailing stereotype of perception of Japan, it is
Canada’s economically important partner, and between the two
countries happened.
Over the past thirty years, Canada has developed original
literature and poetry created by immigrants. Her influence
on the work of the Canadian intelligentsia (immigrants from
Europe) was powerful and very fruitful. Special state programs
for the study of ethno cultures facilitated this.
In domestic Canadian studies, a single point of view has not
been formed regarding the “size of the contribution” of French
and English Canada to its unified culture. The incorrectness
of disputes on this topic prevents the introduction of such an
important discipline as the Culture and Literature of Canada
into the research and curriculum of Russian universities.
Meanwhile, the issue of the conflict of cultures of French
and English Canada at the beginning of the XXI century can
be considered settled, and the harmonizing influence (on both
