| Congratulations to the 2009 Language and Literacy Researchers of Canada Masters Research Award winner! The recipient of the 2009 LLRC award is David Lewkowich. David completed his thesis at the University of Ottawa, under the supervision of Dr. Judith Robertson. His thesis is entitled: Poaching in the Landwash: An Interrogation of Cultural Meaning in a Reading Group from St. John’s, Newfoundland Abstract: Involved as it is with language, reading is an always-ambiguous endeavour. In this qualitative foray into the otherness of textual desire, I examine the human geography of reading through the articulations of a reading group in St. John’s, Newfoundland. I also dwell in the collective dynamics of a pedagogy of place—moving through the landspaces of Newfoundland, poeticizing the relation between reading and subjectivity. As a borderline work, this study illustrates that reading in the meeting place of dialogic engagement creates a text of infinite possibility, through which readers write on and write from their social constructions of cultural meaning. |
