(Signature) Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date 22 ‘( (c/s_ DE-6 (2188) 11 Abstract The latent (androcentric) eroticism of rape has been exploited in Western culture, from mythology through to a contemporary entertainment industry founded on a cultural predilection for the representation of violence against women. In literature the figure of Woman as Victim has evolved according to shifting fashions and (male) desires until, in contemporary avant-garde writings, themes of sexual violence perform an intrinsic role in sophisticated textual praxis, Woman’s body becoming the playground for male artistic expression and textual experimentation.

  • THE TRUE QUEBEC AS REVEALED to ENGLISH CANADA Translated Novels, 1864-Ig^O
    THE TRUE QUEBEC AS REVEALED TO ENGLISH CANADA Translated Novels, 1864-ig^o Sherry Simon 'E OF ENGLISH SPEECH turn naturally to French- W. 1 Canadian literature for knowledge of the French-Canadian people." Thus Charles G. D. Roberts, translator of Les anciens canadiens, defines literary translation in Canada as a vehicle for knowledge. But what kind of knowledge is it which English Canada expects from Quebec literature? According to Roberts it lies in the articula- tion of a "natural" link between the realms of the literary and the political, between the aesthetic object and the society it is supposed to represent. This confident as- sumption, based on what we would consider a naïve theory of representationalism in literature, has nevertheless become a persistent theme in the presentation of Quebec novels in English. Translators' prefaces, one after the other, establish the trans- lation's doubly authentic nature as literature and as a revelation of socio-political reality.2 Mobilized in the interest of the national cause, literary translations are charged with the task of making an alien reality less opaque, of offering the key to an otherwise dark society. The conception of translation reflected in this tradition seems to contradict the traditional premise which equates translation much more readily with deformation and betrayal than with knowledge. In fact, though translated literary texts have been the object of study since at least the mid-nineteenth century, the epistemo- logical status of translations has never been fixed. In what ways do translations — as translations — produce specific knowledge? In proposing to render both the literary and the ethnographic truth of the novels they translate, Canadian translators seem to be proposing an explicit epistemo- logical frame of reference for their work.

  • Critical Reception and Postmodern Violation of Generic Conventions in Jacques Brossard’S “Monument Aux Marges”: L’Oiseau De Feu
    Critical Reception and Postmodern Violation of Generic Conventions in Jacques Brossard’s “Monument aux marges”: L’Oiseau de feu Amy J. Ransom xcitement over what appeared to be a monument of la sci- ence-fiction québécoise (SFQ) in the making accompanied the release of L’oiseau de feu-1. Les années d’apprentissage (1989), Ethe first volume of a new series by Jacques Brossard. Its author swept Canada’s awards for genre literature in 1990, receiving the Casper (now the Aurora Prize) for best work in French, as well as Québec’s Prix Boréal, and the Grand Prix de la science-fiction et du fantastique québé- cois. At the time, Claude Janelle asserted in L’année de la science-fiction et du fantastique québécois 1989 that “Il s’agit certainement du projet le plus ambitieux de l’histoire de la SF québécoise et qui pourrait devenir, au terme de l’entreprise, un véritable monument” (41; emphasis added).1 A decade after the publication of the series’ last volume in 1997, this essay examines the question implied in Janelle’s use of the conditional: has L’oiseau de feu realized the potential that critics saw in it when it first appeared? On the one hand, its author has been canonized by Québec’s science- fiction and fantasy community with the recent renaming of the Grand Prix de la Science-fiction et du fantastique québécois as the Prix Jacques Brossard. Academic and literary critic Michel Lord describes Brossard as one of five “incontournables” writers of science fiction in Québec (with Daniel Sernine, Esther Rochon, Élisabeth Vonarburg, and Jean-Pierre April) (“Feu roulant” 159).

The Relevance of the Carnivalesque in the Québec Novel Abstract The Bakhtinian concept of space is topological rather than topographic, and encompasses the cosmic, the social and the corporeal; its function in the Québec novel consists in debasing the hierarchical verticality of Lent and of the "officialeast. f " As Carnival is an anti-law,"law" in the Québec novel will be defined as the chronotope of the sacred space (the land or "terre" of Québec) in the genre known as the "novel of the land" ("le roman de Ia terre"). Until the Second World War, this chronotope transforms an Augustinian political view of the civitas dei into literary proselytism, via the ideology of agricultural messianism.

  • MEDICO-NATIONAL ALLEGORY in QUÉBEC, 1940-1970 by Julie L. Robert a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfill
    A NATION’S ILLS: MEDICO-NATIONAL ALLEGORY IN QUÉBEC, 1940-1970 by Julie L. Robert A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Romance Languages and Literatures French) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jarrod L. Hayes, Chair Professor Martin S. Pernick Associate Professor Frieda Ekotto Assistant Professor Katherine M. Ibbett © Julie L. Robert 2009 Preface Throughout the work the follows, I will endeavor to define key terms and figures in context as they arise. Certain terms are nevertheless so central to the argument that a brief a priori definition may stave off confusion and more clearly situate the points I am making. With this potential complication in mind, I wish to explain my use of the term nation—particularly as it applies to Québec—which is influenced by both European ideas of nationhood and postcolonial thought. The European underpinnings of the question of nationhood in Québec surface in relation to who constitutes the nation: those who share traits or experiences, or those who agree to collectively constitute a distinct national entity. These two concepts of nationhood, the essentialist and the contractual, issue from nineteenth-century debates about national belonging, but have been in constant tension in Québec because of the English (Canadian) presence. This presence adds a third dimension to debates about the nature of the nation and the English in Québec, for it introduces elements of nationhood linked to postcolonial identity. Specifically, this aspect of nationhood centers on the colonized majority’s negotiation of national identity in relation to a colonizing minority’s vision of this same nation.

  • French Canadian Literature by Julie Rodgers, National University of Ireland, Maynooth
    French Canadian Literature By Julie Rodgers, National University of Ireland, Maynooth 1. General Reference Texts Danielle Constantin, *Masques et Mirages, NY, Lang, 192 pp., is a study of works by three different authors, one of whom falls within the domain of French Canadian Literature. The three texts examined from the point of view of narrative methods and textual strategies are Julio Cortázar, Rayuela (1963), Georges Perec, La Vie mode d’emploi (1978), and Yolande Villemaire, La Vie en prose (1980). Lise Gauvin, Écrire pour qui? L’Écrivain Francophone et ses publics, Karthala, 2007, 180 pp., looks at the status of Francophone authors, the relationship between author and public, the conditions from which Francophone writers emerge, in particular, that of cultural hybridity, and how these unique conditions might influence the development of new literary techniques. *Les Voix du temps et de l’espace, ed. Jeanette den Toonder, Quebec, Nota Bene, 374 pp., pays homage to Jaap Lintvelt, founder of the Centre d’Études Canadiennes de l’Université de Groningen, who has recently taken retirement. The contributors to this collection worked in close collaboration with Lintvelt to produce a text which covers the key areas of his research in the field of Quebec literature, most notably the representation of space in the Quebec novel and its relationship to the theme of travel. Elena Brandusa Steicuic, La Francophonie au féminin, Iasi, Universitas XXI, 142 pp., is a collection of articles and interviews focusing on the work of 11 Francophone women writers from Canada to the Maghreb to Western and Eastern Europe. La Francophonie au féminin forms a critical itinerary of the shared preoccupations of Francophone women writers, looking at common themes in Francophone literature, such as memory, space, language, identity, origins, and exile, but from a specifically female point of view.
