Imagining Difference
Imagining Difference is an ethnography about historical and contemporary ideas of human difference expressed by residents of Fernie, BC - a coal-mining town transforming into an international ski resort. Her starting point is a popular local legend about an indigenous curse cast on the valley and its residents in the nineteenth century. Focusing on diverse experiences of people from the European diaspora, Robertson analyzes expressions of difference from the multiple locations of age, ethnicity, gender, class, and religion.
Cursing becomes a metaphor for discursive power resonating in political, popular, and cultural contexts, transmitting ideas of difference across Successive interpretations of the story reveal a complicated landscape of memory and silence, mapping out official and contested histories, social and scientific theories as well as the edicts of political discourse.
