This paper works with methodologies offered by Winfried Siemerling’s The Black Atlantic Reconsidered (2015) to elaborate the complexities involved in conversations between the fields of Canadian Literature and Black Canadian cultural studies. As Siemerling argues, Black Canadian literature is marked by the transversal time-spaces of the Black Atlantic which run counter to linear national time. What are the implications, then, of the Black Atlantic’s incommensurable time-spaces in the ongoing project of institutionalizing Black Canadian literature?

超越国家时间：黑大西洋时间与加拿大黑人文化研究的时空

本文使用 Winfried Siemerling 提供的方法重新考虑黑大西洋（2015）阐述加拿大文学和加拿大黑人文化研究领域之间对话的复杂性。正如 Siemerling 所言，加拿大黑人文学的特点是黑色大西洋的横向时空与线性国家时间背道而驰。那么，在正在进行的将加拿大黑人文学制度化​​的项目中，黑人大西洋不可通约的时空意味着什么？
