Uncertain Relations
The essays in this volume consider a range of negotiations around francophone identity in Canada (Quebec, Acadia, Ontario, Saskatchewan), in the Caribbean, in Belgium and in Switzerland, and also with regard to Jewishness within European and Canadian francophonie. Their arrangement, starting with the Americas and concluding with Europe, provides a structural foregrounding of the shifting emphasis of the margins/centre debate, which also serves to resituate the more occulted, but no less significant, uncertainties of minority francophone cultures in Europe. Ce recueil d'essais examine les négociations variées autour de l'identité francophone au Canada (Québec, Acadie, Ontario, Saskatchewan), aux Antilles, en Belgique, en Suisse, et dans l'écriture juive francophone de l'Europe et du Canada. Prenant les Amériques comme point de départ et l'Europe comme point de chute, il met en relief, de par cette organisation, l'accentuation changeante du débat entre les marges et le centre, tout en resituant du même coup les incertitudes plus cachées mais non moins significatives des cultures francophones minoritaires de l'Europe.
Une nuit de tempête
Par une nuit de décembre, l’urgentiste Romain Bellerose soigne un jeune homme qui vient de faire une chute sur un trottoir glacé. À partir de ce moment, leurs deux vies seront inextricablement liées. Une adolescente plongée dans l’émoi d’un premier amour, une femme en pleine crise mystique, un homme à tout faire aussi prompt à rendre service qu’à tordre le nez aux voyous, une amoureuse incapable de résister à l’appel du gâteau au chocolat : on reconnaît avec bonheur la marque de l’auteur du Matou dans la riche palette de personnages qui composent ce roman. Une nuit de tempête pourrait être l’œuvre ultime d’Yves Beauchemin, lui qui se plaît à dire qu’« écrire sénile, c’est pathétique. Écrire mort, extrêmement difficile ».
Mindscapes of Montreal
In examining a number of francophone Montréal novels from 1960 to 2005, this interdisciplinary study considers the ways in which these connect with material landscapes to produce a city of neighbourhoods. In so doing, it reflects on how Montréal has been seen as both home and not home for francophone Quebecers. Morgan offers an overview of the fiction; examines micro and macro geographies of Montréal, and identifies some key literary trends. In so doing, it reflects on the importance of the imaginary in our experiencing and understanding of the urban.
