Littératures Canadiennes Et Identités Postcoloniales
Author: Marc MaufortPublisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9789052011097
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This volume offers challenging assessments of the reconfigurations that have shaped Anglophone and Francophone Canadian literatures in the last decades of the twentieth century. Focusing on the pursuit of an ever-elusive «Canadianness» in literary texts, it documents the astonishing range of Canadian diasporic identities that have recently emerged in the Canadian literary landscape. The contributors to this volume boldly transgress the widely held critical assumptions of postcolonialism in their examination of the literary representations of contemporary Canada's many «Others». Ce volume rassemble nombre d'analyses innovatrices des reconfigurations qui ont caractérisé les littératures canadiennes anglophones et francophones durant les dernières décennies du vingtième siècle. Tout en se concentrant sur la quête de l'insaisissable «Canadianité» en littérature, l'ouvrage démontre l'étonnante diversité des identités diasporiques qui ont récemment émergé dans le paysage littéraire canadien. Les contributeurs de ce volume transgressent audacieusement les certitudes généralement acquises du postcolonialisme afin de mieux décrire les représentations littéraires des nombreux «Autres» du Canada actuel.
Expirer Au Féminin
Author: Mary Jo MuratorePublisher: University Press of the South, Incorporated
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
"Expirer au feminin offers new perspectives on the complex relationship between neo-classical writers, their works, and the theoretical mandates imposed upon them. In this work, the author argues that a writer's conflicted attitude towards aesthetic conformity infiltrated the work itself. This conflict can be seen in the confrontation between a male hero eager to comply with ideological protocols and a dissenting heroine in violation of established regulations. It is to be expected, perhaps, that in the political context of seventeenth-century France, a heroine's refusal to embrace orthodox opinions would result inevitably in her death, dissolution, or excision from the text. What is unanticipated, however, is that writers would so often slant the readers' sympathy in the direction of the rebellious heroine and against the obedient hero." "Expirer au feminin analyzes how the heroine's ostensibly expedient death serves to further complicate the very situation it was intended to neutralize. Rendered essential by her presence, but quintessential by her absence, the heroine in these canonical texts embodies the non-permissible vision, the unspeakable other, the essence of alteration or alternation or alienation that is often seen as the antithesis of neo-classical textuality. In the re-readings proposed, the heroine's rebelliousness reveals one of the most salient, yet least noted, characteristic of neo-classical textuality: it does not, will not, cannot conform. Beneath a surface of sameness and adherence, it proffers an unruly dismantling of codes, an untidy challenge to prescription, a poetically intoned ode to desobeissance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Réécriture Des Mythes
Author: Joëlle CauvillePublisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9789042001763
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Definir de facon univalente la notion de mythe et celle d'utopie semble en soi une entreprise tout a fait utopique. Par ailleurs, jumeler les deux notions, celle du mythe et celle d'utopie, releve d'un processus de reflexion qui peut facilement etre a double tranchant: le mythe, construction par excellende de l'imaginaire humain, ne se situe-t-il pas ailleurs que dans un non-lieu? et l'utopie, quant a elle, ne fait-elle pas echo au mythe, a la fois s'en inspirant, le niant et le transformant? Redondance possible, et aussi, parfois, refus des deux domaines a admettre leur interdependance, cheninement parallele surtout et creation commune de ce qui, en fin de compte, s'avere mythe transforme, utopie revistee. Toutefois, mythes et utopies quels que soient la position choisie, le point de vue defendu, semblent faire bon menage, a en juger par ce projet, mavec dix-neuf textes couvrant principalement la litterature contemporaine des femmes, mais puisant parfois aux uvres anterieures qui ont deja prepare le terrain, en offrant des visions d'existences idylliques ne serait-ce que litteraires."
