Merci! 2 Abstract This thesis is a comparative analysis of the apocalypse as a theme in four novels, two American and two Quebecois. Originally a biblical myth, apocalyptic tales are comprised of three narrative aspects defined Bertrand Gervais as Crisis, Time, Meaning / Sense. The four novels are analyzed individually according to these three elements. The American novels correspond to the more traditional pattern of the myth in which the world faces mass destruction followed by the survival of of the chosen-ones who will experience redemption. Contrarily, the two others demonstrate the conceptualization and representation of the traditional myth of the apocalypse towards a modem analogy of transformation of individuals within a profane world; one in which the mythical becomes farcical. Key words: Apocalypse, crisis, time, meaning, sense, destruction, collective, individual, intertexuality. 3 Resume Cette etude porte sur 1’analyse comparee du theme de 1’apocalypse dans quatre romans, deux Americains et deux Quebecois. Mythe biblique a 1’origine, le recit de I’Apocalypse comporte trois elements narratifs bien definis par Bertrand Gervais soient la Crise, le Temps et le Sens. Les quatre romans sont envisages, l’un a la suite de l’autre, en fonction de ces trois elements. II en ressort que deux d’entre eux correspondent au schema plus traditionnel du mythe avec sa destruction massive du monde suivi du choix d’elus qui auront la chance de connaitre la redemption. Les deux autres, par contre, demontrent 1’evolution du mythe traditionnel de 1’Apocalypse vers une analogie modeme de la transformation des individus dans un monde profane, ou le mythique devient meme risible. Mots-cles : Apocalypse, crise, temps, sens, destruction, collectif, individuel, intertextualite. 4 Table of Contents Composition du jury..........................................................................................................

P a g e 1 6 6 Introduction The basic elements o f the apocalyptic narrative include a transformative catastrophe and subsequent revelation o f ultimate truth. But apocalypse frequently blurs the boundary between art and life, a tendency that provokes a consideration of the broader social and historical context. Marlene Goldman,Rewriting Apocalypse in Canadian Fiction, 2005. A myriad of interesting things happens when the Apocalypse becomes a subject of interest. The first steps in research reveal that traditionally it is not only a unique and definitive moment when a world reaches its end and is destroyed by the hand of the Devil, but a complete and voluminous literary genre. For centuries authors from around the world have written a multitude of texts telling diverse tales of the end of the world1. Contrary to the meaning that popular belief has given to the apocalypse, it contains

  • 2010-2011 Annual Report Blue Metropolis Foundation 2 MESSAGE from the CHAIR of the BOARD of DIRECTORS
    bluemetropolis.org November 2011 Annual Report 2010-2011 Blue Metropolis Foundation 2 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Blue Metropolis is much more than a great literary festival. It is a crucial cultural institution in an ever changing cultural and demographic landscape. And so it is with great pleasure and honour that I chair the Board of Directors of this astonishing organization. Since no individual organization or actor has the resources to singlehandedly produce meaningful change in society, Blue Metropolis Foundation has, since its beginning, forged strong partnerships with a variety of stakeholders in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and internationally. It has maintained these partnerships in 2010-2011, which has been a transitional year for the Foundation. The Board of Directors is proud of, and has supported, several noteworthy achievements: • a successful new-look festival, with a 50 percent increase in ticket sales and over 22,000 visitors in attendance • the development of new and innovative partnerships for our educational programmes and digital ventures • a significant reduction of our fixed costs, including a restructuring of the staff for even better productivity and to begin repaying the accumulated deficit • a bold fundraising campaign resulting in close to $500,000 from private donors Thank you to William St-Hilaire and her team for a successful transition and a memorable Festival. And special thanks to Linda Leith, the remarkable founder of Blue Metropolis, who resigned at the end of 2010. Cameron Charlebois Chair of the Board of Directors Vice President, Real Estate, Quebec Canada Lands Company 3 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, GENERAL MANAGER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR When I arrived in January, I quickly realized the extent to which the Foundation’s activities are rich and diverse, and that the audiences which benefit from them are extremely varied.

  • Everything's on the Table with Our Fall 2017
    / – Everything’s on the table this fall. With over fifty years of irreverent literary history filling the shelves, our dusty old coach house doesn’t readily evoke bright lights and cold stainless steel. But spend some time watching Tony, our Coach House printer, square up a freshly printed press sheet, or take one look at our guillotine cutter, and you might begin to see a little of the surgical side that complements our love of the human and the messy. So, with a nod to the more exacting angels of our nature, this fall we’re putting everything on the table to see what’s inside. Our fall fiction titles artfully dissect questions surrounding creation, ownership, and people in disrepair. Martha Baillie’s If Clara is a compelling exploration of whose voices are heard in the modern din. And the stories in The Doll’s Alphabet , Camilla Grudova’s grotesquely enchanting debut, do more than get under a reader’s skin – they make purposeful incisions. Two new Exploded Views titles certainly add to the series’s reputation for innovative and probing work. In Curry , Naben Ruthnum grapples with the dish in its manifold culinary and cultural varieties, while Kelli María Korducki’s Hard To Do lays bare the surprising, feminist history of breaking up . In poetry, Sina Queyras puts Sylvia Plath’s Ariel , along with her own family baggage, under the knife. Jay Ritchie brings unpar - alleled wit to the everyday in Cheer Up, Jay Ritchie . And, unlike a patient etherized upon a table, Jeramy Dodds’ Drakkar Noir refuses to lie still.

    The Governor General’s Literary Awards: English-Language Winners, 1936–2013 Andrew David Irvine* Entries are now being received for the Governor-General’s Annual Literary Awards for 1937, arranged by the Canadian Author’s Association. Medals will be given for the best books of fiction, poetry and general literature, respectively. The book must have been published during the calendar year 1937; and the author must be a Canadian. … There is no particular closing date. When the judges have read all the books, they will name the winners and that will end the matter. William Arthur Deacon1 This list2 of Governor General’s Literary Award–winning books differs from previous lists in several ways. It includes • five award-winning books from 1948, 1963, 1965, and 1984 (three in English and two in French) inadvertently omitted from previous lists; • the division of winning titles into historically accurate award categories; • a full list of books by non-winning finalists who have received cash prizes, a practice that began in 2002; • a full list of declined awards; • more detailed bibliographical information than can be found in most other lists; and 1* Andrew Irvine holds the position of professor and head of Economics, Philosophy, and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan. Errata may be sent to the author at [email protected]. 11 William Arthur Deacon, The Fly Leaf, Globe and Mail, 9 April 1938, 15. 12 The list is split between two articles. The current article contains bibliographical information about English-language books that have won Governor General’s Literary Awards between 1936 and 2013.
