| | |
| | « Numerous contemporary Québécois fictions show a willingness to engage in necessarily non-solidly-defined memories, to accept the nebulous quality of these memories, and to revel in this dynamic praxis. Sergio Kokis, in //Le Pavillon des miroirs//, investigates the notion of identity through memory. Instead of resolving his identity issues through involvement with the community, Kokis's narrator uses his paintings to connect his memories to l'identitaire. In Jean-Francois Chassay's //Les Ponts//, unstable and unverifiable memories have replaced history in the process of creating l'indentitaire. Through their explorations of memory and l'identitaire, these two Québécois novels constitute examples of a postcolonial exploration of identity as process and memory as mouvance. » |

| « Our thesis explores the fragmentation and reconstruction of the family as they are represented in the Quebec novel of the 1990's. To this end, we concentrate on eight contemporary novels by Bruno Hébert, Nancy Huston, Sergio Kokis, Jacques Marchand, Hélène Monette, Yan Muckle, Lise Tremblay and Élise Turcotte. Whether the novels in question deal with nuclear, reconstructed, or single-parent families, there is a common denominator that links them together: fragmentation. The fictional family circle is characterized by breakdown and dismemberment, which are suggested primarily on a thematic level. This thesis looks to examine the factors that trigger family breakdown; fundamental factors that permeate the novels under consideration. In the first section, we look at violence and its disastrous effect on family dynamics. Violence constitutes an external threat that is progressively internalized, and represents, nonetheless, a menace to family harmony. In the second section, we look at the effect of parental deprivation, from mothers and fathers respectively, as well as the influence of the trials and tribulations of adolescence on the family unit. In the third section, we examine the concepts of unification and cohesion, through an analysis of love and creation within the family. We look to see if these impulses are capable of bringing about reconciliation and family solidarity. » | « Our thesis explores the fragmentation and reconstruction of the family as they are represented in the Quebec novel of the 1990's.
