The Study of Emotions in American and Canadian Fiction

In this essay, Gordan Matas and Petra Sapun describe how different approaches to reading the works by Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison and Joy Kogawa informed their understanding that feminist, postcolonial and ethnic studies as well as new historicism and post-structuralism are vital for the authors in the realization of their political goals. The above described theoretical approaches which are in the basis of this work, both individually and combined, open new possibilities of dealing with emotional structures that the authors use frequently in their novels and at the same time reveal new readings of Hurston’s, Kogawa’s and Morrison’s novels that have not been examined in this context systematically.
