Th. P) Quebec, Canada © Louisa Blair, 2017 La création littéraire comme vocation chrétienne Un projet de recherche création Thèse Louisa Blair Sous la direction de : François Nault, directeur de recherche Résumé Ce projet en théologie pratique vise à explorer la création littéraire comme vocation chrétienne. Si nous sommes appelés à suivre le Christ, comment répondre à la tentation parfois impérieuse de l’écriture ? Est-ce qu’il s’agit d’une seule vocation ou est-ce que les « appels » à la vocation chrétienne et à la création littéraire ont plutôt des sources différentes ? Autrement dit, est-ce que les appels à mettre noir sur blanc ses pensées viennent aussi de Dieu et est-ce Dieu qui est source de l’inspiration littéraire ? J’ai développé ces questionnements parce que, dans mon expérience, les deux « appels » sont souvent en concurrence et je voulais me donner les moyens pour les discerner, sinon les réconcilier. J’ai donc observé ma propre démarche littéraire pour faire ressortir les dissonances, résonances et chevauchements entre ma pratique comme écrivaine et ma vocation chrétienne, et ainsi développer une théologie pratique de la vocation littéraire. Pour ce faire, j’ai créé « la méthodologie jazz », une méthodologie heuristique qui vise une observation distanciée de mes habitudes créatrices. Au cours de mes quatre années d’études doctorales, j’ai écrit une pièce de théâtre, des nouvelles et un livre, entre autres textes. Pendant la rédaction de chaque texte, j’ai tenu un journal de bord pour noter des remarques sur ma méthode. Après avoir assemblé un corpus représentatif, et inspirée par l’œuvre de Gérard Genette sur la fonction des paratextes, j’ai de nouveau observé ma pratique, rétroactivement, avec des notes de bas de page dans une autre langue. À partir d’une synthèse des annotations recueillies, j’ai réalisé une réflexion théologique avec l’aide d’une grille d’analyse basée sur les écrits du théologien Christoph Theobald portant sur des éléments de la vocation chrétienne. Premièrement, j’ai découvert que ma foi influence ma pratique littéraire. Par exemple, les appels à écrire viennent de l’extérieur comme de l’intérieur. Prendre une décision, à savoir comment répondre à ces appels, ou même seulement si l’on doit y répondre, exige un discernement qui s’adresse à mes valeurs chrétiennes. Deuxièmement, Theobald souligne le rôle capital joué par les malentendus, les « passeurs » et l’exil (par exemple, dans le récit de Samuel, pour qui Élie est le passeur). Ces éléments, comme je le démontre, sont également significatifs dans le processus d’écriture. Troisièmement, tout comme la vocation iii religieuse, la vocation littéraire est un appel à comprendre et à développer notre singularité profonde, tout comme elle peut facilement devenir un service rendu à soi-même plutôt qu’à autrui. En outre, j’ai observé que la nouveauté recherchée dans la création littéraire ne résonne pas nécessairement avec la nouveauté de la Bonne Nouvelle. Finalement, il y a dans une pièce bien réalisée un genre de vérité qui ressemble aux vérités ineffables de la foi. Ces résonances et ces dissonances aident à élaborer une théologie pratique de la vocation littéraire, où la clé du discernement au cours de la pratique quotidienne repose dans notre propre vérité ou dans la concordance avec soi, que nous ne retrouvons que dans la « sainteté hospitalière » du Christ. Par la contagion de l’authenticité, les espaces littéraires peuvent être autant hospitaliers que les espaces physiques ou sociaux. Si nous sommes vrais, comme Jésus, nous pouvons nous retirer des lieux publics, des moments passés en collectivité, pour répondre aux appels à la création littéraire sans être retenus par nos reproches à nous-mêmes, ou par les reproches (imaginées ou autres) de la communauté chrétienne. L’authenticité de Jésus l’a mené nécessairement loin de l’approbation générale de sa communauté, et par la contagion de cette authenticité, nous pouvons aussi donner un espace d’hospitalité aux autres de suivre leurs propres vocations. iv Abstract This study in practical theology is an exploration of literary creation as a Christian vocation. If we are called to follow Christ, how should we respond to the imperious call to literary creation? Is the call to Christ and the call to create a single vocation, or do these “calls” come from different sources? Does the call to write also come from God, and is God the source of literary inspiration? I undertook this project because in my experience the two calls often compete, and I wanted to find a way to discern between them, if not reconcile them. I therefore observed my own literary practice to determine the dissonances, resonances and overlaps between my practice as a writer and my Christian vocation with the goal of creating, if possible, a practical theology of literary vocation. To do so I developed the « Jazz Method », a heuristic methodology for observing my practice from a distance. Over the four years of my doctoral studies, I had written numerous works of various kinds, including a play, some short stories, and a book. While I was writing these, I kept a journal. Having assembled some of the works into a representative collection, and inspired by Gérard Genette’s work on the function of paratexts, I observed my practice again, this time retroactively, by footnoting the collection, in another language. Then, based on a synthesis of all my observations, I undertook a theological reflection on my practice using the ideas of theologian Christoph Theobald on the elements of a Christian vocation. Firstly, I discovered that my dispositions as a Christian affect my writing practice. For example, the calls to write come from both inside and out, and deciding if and how to respond to these calls requires discernment for which I turn to my Christian values. Second, Theobald stresses the crucial role played by misunderstandings, passeurs (or mediators), and exile in the vocational call (for example in the story of Samuel’s call, mediated by Eli). As I show, these elements are also important in the practice of literary creation. Third, the call to write, like the call to Christ, is a call to understand and deepen our own singularity, but like a religious vocation, can easily turn into a service of oneself rather than of others. In addition, the novelty sought in literary creation is not necessarily of the same nature as that of the “Good News”. Finally, however, I observed that there is a literary truth found in v a well-written piece that resonates with the ineffable truths of faith. These resonances and dissonances helped me to create a practical theology of literary creation, whereby the key to discernment in daily practice is our own truth, or the concordance with ourselves that is found in the “holy hospitality” of Christ’s presence. Through the wellknown contagion of authenticity, literary spaces can be as hospitable as physical or social spaces. If we are authentic, as Jesus was, we can withdraw from the crowd to respond to calls to creation without self-reproach and immune to the reproaches (real or imagined) of our community of faith, and through the contagion of our authenticity, give permission to others to find their own authenticity and their own vocation. vi Table des matières Résumé ................................................................................................................................................ ii Abstract .............................................................................................................................................. v Table des matières ........................................................................................................................... vii Dédicace ............................................................................................................................................. ix Remerciements .................................................................................................................................. xi Chapitre 1 - La vocation artistique chrétienne : un parcours de la littérature ........................... 7 1 La création littéraire comme sujet propre à la théologie pratique ......................................... 8 2 Méthodologies en recherche-création .................................................................................. 13 3 La vocation chrétienne ......................................................................................................... 16 4 La vocation littéraire ............................................................................................................ 18 Chapitre 2 - Comment pratiquer la création littéraire comme vocation chrétienne ?

They may be Francophone descendants of mercenaries in the 18th century or Anglophone immigrants of the 1950s. In the 1980s, after a long period of official downplaying of the presence of the Germans, some German-Canadian leaders fought for recognition of the German contribution to a multicultural Canada. Many German-Quebecers took over this discourse, but some refused the idea of a German ‘founding people’ and insisted on the distinct role of their Francophone society. Furthermore, even in Canada, post-war immigrants had to come to terms with the German past; the victimisation often characterized the German- Canadian press, since readers many, of whom lived in Québec often were expellees of the German ‘eastern territories’ and the few exiles often chose to stay invisible. Thus for its citizens of German heritage, Québec became the place of encounter of several competing identity discourses, whether it was about the role of Francophones in Canadian history or about the role of Germans.

  • The English (Atheiral of Quebe}
    THE ENGLISH (ATHEIRAL OF QUEBE}. READ BEFORE THE £iterary and jistorical $atitty, Quebec, 10th March, 1891, BY F RED. C. WUR TELE, ESQ. In writing the history of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity of Quebec, it will not be out of place to give a short sketch of those good Monks and Friars of the order of St. Francis who were the former proprietors of the land on which the sacred edifice has been built. The mendicant order of Monks, called Franciscans, was founded in Spain, in the year 1208, by St. Francis d'Assisi.* Subsequently they spread into Italy and were introduced into France by St. Louis of Gonzaga. They were also called “Récollets,” from the latin word “Recollectus,” sig nifying “meditation” and also “gathering.” Their chief works were teaching, nursing the sick, and ministering to the poor, whose wants they supplied out of the donations and alms which they received. In fact their livelihood was obtained entirely by begging, performed by the “Frères Mineurs,” and so highly were they esteemed and beloved in old Canada, that the “habitants” would always transport free of charge the results of their begging expeditions from village to village and finally to the con vent in Quebec. The boatmen invariably were pleased to ferry them free across the St. Lawrence, * DeSalignac, 64 Samuel de Champlain relates, that “he was convinced of “the necessity of religious instruction to influence such of “the Indian population of Canada as might be induced to “turn to agricultural pursuits.” In this connexion he was directed by Sieur Louis Houel, at Brouage to apply to the General of the Order of Recollets.

Research has identified 126 individuals who died in Internment Camps across Canada. It is believed that this number differs from the original 107 individuals who were recorded as dying in General Otter’s report as the number of 126 includes six children as well as all internees that died in Amherst. At this time it has not been determined for those who died in Amherst if they were internees from Canada or German prisoners of war. It also includes two males who were not identified as “Prisoners of War” in the Canadian War Graves Registry The internees died in six provinces across Canada, they were originally buried in 33 different cemeteries.

  • Finding Your Family in Notarial Records
    Finding Your Family in Notarial Records Notarial records are some of the most valuable documents you’ll come across in genealogy. Written and notarized by a notary who was officially commissioned by the authorities, these records can include details about events in lives of your ancestors, and the distribution or sale of their property. By consulting notarial records, you can measure the wealth of your ancestors—during their lifetime and when they died. You can also learn about the challenges they faced in their personal life, as many settlements were written by notaries to avoid going to court. Getting Started with Quebec Research You should first begin your research for ancestors who lived in Quebec by consulting church records and census records. Ancestry is home to the largest online collection of church records (Catholic and Protestant) called Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968. You will also find indexes to church records and cemeteries such as Web: Montreal, Canada, Non-Catholic Marriage Index, 1766-1899 and Web: Quebec City, Quebec, Mount Hermon Cemetery Index, 1846-1904 on Ancestry. Continue your research by consulting the Canadian Census Collection, which includes census records for Quebec from 1825 to 1921. Records like these can give your research a solid foundation, but in order to flesh out the lives of your ancestors, we encourage you to explore the unique and rich records that are the notarial records. The Notarial Records Collection on Ancestry Ancestry is home to the largest online collection of notarial records for Quebec. You’ll find records for the province of Quebec covering close to 300 years, from 1637 to 1935, which include acts written by 1,832 notaries.
