Literature and Painting In Quebec
This unique study explores how Quebec's landscapes have been represented in both literature and visual art throughout the centuries, from the writing of early explorers such as Cartier and Champlain to work by prominent contemporary authors and artists from the province. William J. Berg traces recurrent images and themes within these creations through the most significant periods in the development of a Quebecois identity that was threatened initially by the wilderness and indigenous populations, and later by the dominance of British and American influences. Focusing on the interplay between nature and culture in landscape representation, Literature and Painting in Quebec contends that both have reflected and fashioned the meaning of French-Canadian nationhood. As such, Literature and Painting in Quebec presents a new perspective to approach the notion of national identity, a quest that few groups have engaged in more persistently than the Quebecois.

Comparing migration : the literatures of Canada and Quebec
Le pluralisme culturel de la littérature produite aujourd'hui au Canada et au Québec transforme non seulement ces deux espaces littéraires, mais aussi, la relation entre eux. En réunissant, par l'entremise d'un recueil bilingue, méthodologies, appareils théoriques et concepts habituellement réservés à l'un ou l'autre des contextes critiques, les textes de Migrance comparée (issus d'un appel à contributions général) fait état de ce qui distingue les littératures contemporaines d'expression anglaise et française mais aussi de ce qui les rattache l'une à l'autre. The cultural plurality of literature produced today in Canada and Quebec transforms not only these two literary spaces, but also, their relation to one another. By bringing together methodologies, theoretical approaches and concepts usually reserved to one or the other critical context, this bilingual collection of texts of Comparing Migration (the result of a general call for papers) displays the differences but also the connections between French and English contemporary writing in Canada.
Nouveaux regards sur nos lettres. La correspondance d’écrivain et d’artiste au Québec
Les travaux récents sur l’épistolaire réunis dans le présent ouvrage montrent toute la richesse de la lettre. Elle sert à la fois de témoignage, de manuscrit, de carnet ou de journal pour l’auteur qui y puise la source de son œuvre; elle offre une fenêtre sans pareil sur la pensée et l’atelier de l’écrivain ou de l’artiste. Au Québec, les entreprises d’édition de correspondance et les travaux sur l’épistolaire se sont multipliés ces vingt dernières années. Rassemblant dix-neuf spécialistes de l’épistolaire au Québec, ce livre rend compte des percées effectuées dans ce champ de recherche. Comment lit-on l’épistolaire aujourd’hui et comment donne-t-on à lire les lettres d’écrivains et d’artistes ? Du xixe siècle à nos jours, les épistoliers à l’étude (Anne Hébert, Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau, Gabrielle Roy, Jacques Ferron, Louis Dantin et d’autres) invitent à poser ces « nouveaux regards sur nos lettres ».
Figures de l’excès chez Marie Darrieussecq, Virginie Despentes et Marina de Van
Figures de l’excès chez Marie Darrieussecq, Virginie Despentes et Marina de Van de Dominique Carlini Versini interroge les images du corps excessif qui traversent les récits d’artistes contemporaines françaises selon une approche intermédiale. À partir des années 1990, une tendance à l’excès a été observée dans la fiction française. D’un côté, de jeunes écrivaines s’attachent à mettre en scène le corps de manière particulièrement crue. En même temps, un nouveau courant se développe au cinéma caractérisé par des images explicites ou violentes du corps. L’approche inédite de l’ouvrage consiste à comparer les stratégies des deux moyens d’expression pou...
