Full textCe mémoire en recherche-création s’articule en deux parties, soit un roman et un essai. Le roman Les falaises relate le retour d’une jeune femme dans l’ancestrale maison familiale à la suite de la mort de sa mère, avec qui elle entretenait une relation d’amour/haine destructrice. Elle y découvre des carnets rédigés par sa grand-mère qu’elle n’a pas connue, qui racontent les aléas de la maternité et la soif d’un retour à ses racines islandaises. Soif que la protagoniste poursuit, en quête d’une rencontre avec sa mère et sa grand-mère, d’une réunion improbable entre les membres de sa lignée insaisissable. L’essai L’héritage de la filiation féminine brisée dans La femme qui fuit, d’Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette ; réparer le passé par le présent répond aux questionnements sur la gestion de l’héritage soulevés par la lecture du roman La femme qui fuit (2015) d’Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette et par l’écriture en cours de Les falaises. La femme qui fuit est analysé de façon à faire ressortir les changements de paradigmes entre les époques des différents membres de la lignée familiale féminine dépeints dans l’oeuvre (arrière-grand-mère, grandmère, mère et fille) et la façon dont ces paradigmes, ainsi que l’héritage reçu influencent le rapport entre maternité et création. Il est question de déterminer comment l’autrice, grâce aux avancées du féminisme – tant social que littéraire – peut doubler sa position d’héritière de celle de testatrice et transformer l’héritage troué d’absence, de silence et de souffrances qui se transmet au sein de sa filiation familiale.
This master’s thesis in research and creative writing is divided in two parts – a novel and an essay. Les falaises [ Cliffs ] recounts the return of a young woman to the ancestral family home, following the death of her mother, with whom she maintained a destructive love/hate relationship. She discovers journals written by a grandmother she never knew, which reveal her grandmother’s views of maternity and her longing for a return to her Icelandic roots. The protagonist follows that longing, going in search of an unlikely meeting among the members of her elusive lineage. The essay L’héritage de la filiation féminine brisée dans La femme qui fuit, d’Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette ; réparer le passé par le présent [ The Legacy of Broken Feminine Lineage in Suzanne by Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette; repairing the past with the present ] answers questions about the management of legacy raised by the reading of the novel La femme qui fuit by Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette and the writing of Les falaises. La femme qui fuit is analyzed in order to highlight the paradigm shifts between eras of the different members of the female family lineage depicted in the work (great-grandmother, grandmother, mother and daughter) and the way in which these paradigms, as well as the received legacy, influence the relationship between motherhood and creation. The essay tries to establish how the author negotiates the broken legacy of absence, silence and suffering that is transmitted in her family’s lineage.

Full textThis Master’s Dissertation in research-creation splits in two parts: a collection of short fictions and a theoretical essay. Le bleu des garçons regroups twelve fictional stories questioning masculine desire. The texts’ versified form explores the limit between prose and poetry, while the use of various narrative strategies, along with a minimalist style, highlights every situation’s underlying sense and blurs the line between reality and imagination. They might be sons, uncles, lovers, queer men, traitors and travellers, the protagonists of these short fictions still come together as they challenge their identity, their sexuality and their relationship with others in a critical moment condensed in time and space. Ensuing from the creative part’s narratological issues, “Why refuse oneself, tonight, to this supposition?” Imagination and narrative contamination in Marguerite Duras’s Dix heures et demie du soir en été studies this novel’s narrative adherence to the protagonist’s imagination. Our essay analyses how the narration’s gaze and internal focalization are contaminated by the main character’s growing emotion and apprehensions initiated by desire, while assisting the book’s cognitive objective: making passion its central event.

Full textCe mémoire en recherche-création est articulé en deux parties distinctes, soit un roman et un essai. Nord Cap est un roman qui emprunte le genre du monologue intérieur, naviguant dans les pensées d’un vieil homme blessé qui repose dans une chambre d’hôpital. Hanté par son passé qui refait surface parfois sans prévenir, le narrateur propose un va-et-vient constant entre ses souvenirs et la réalité présente, qui se dégrade, pas à pas, jusqu’à sa mort qui devient inéluctable. L’essai sur La vie littéraire de Mathieu Arsenault, questionne cette œuvre à la narration et au genre incertains. L’objectif de cette étude est de montrer comment la narration éclatée de La vie littéraire convoque les formes du récit de la pensée et plus largement du récit intime, mais y échappe également et à quelles fins. Il est donc question de comprendre les caractéristiques de sa narration afin d’en saisir les enjeux selon qu’on l’associe au mode général du monologue intérieur ou qu’on y voit le résultat du croisement de plusieurs genres narratifs et de modes de discours issus des nouvelles formes de communication.

Full textThe first section of this master’s thesis presents a short original novel entitled Les méandres des ramilles. This novel deals with life opportunities and the choices that individuals decide to make. It also develops the theme of love and illustrates the consequences that World War II had on the Canadian population at the time. The second section is a reflection on the impact of the use of internal focalization in historical novels, more precisely on the concepts of historical objectivity and subjectivity, interiority of the character and restriction of field.

Full textThe first part of this memoir consists of a novel telling the story of a 24-yearold woman in the middle of an existential crisis who, from one day to the next, finds herself in El Salvador to take a step back from her life. Through her adventures where youth and carelessness are honored, deep reflections on what led her to flee, and on her definition of happiness, keep reminding her that this break will not last forever. This novel fragmented between ‘’Le Journal’’ and ‘’L’avant’’ opens a window on a generation that tries to trace its place with color in a world that was meant to be black and white. The reflective part of the thesis focuses on the role of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) in contemporary travel literature. To make reference to the preceding novel, flight, as a motive for travel and a central theme of research, will be related to the reality of 2.0, to study the various effects that social networks, smart phones and other ICTs have on the concretization of this escape.

Ce mémoire de recherche-création se divise en deux parties. La première, Mécanique de la nuit, est un recueil de nouvelles oniriques qui aborde la confrontation entre l’humain et la nature en mettant en scène des catastrophes naturelles, des animaux sauvages, des parasites, etc. Les textes se structurent par des échos entre les personnages et les lieux. Ils sont portés par une voix narrative qui raconte les histoires à la troisième personne et disserte sur la notion de rêve dans une perspective scientifique. La seconde partie s’intitule Narration et imagination environnementale dans Les larmes de saint Laurent de Dominique Fortier. Elle analyse la place de la narration dans la poétique de cette oeuvre éclatée pour ensuite en étudier la portée d’un point de vue écocritique. De cette façon, elle vise à dégager la contribution potentielle d’une narration atypique au renouvellement de l’imaginaire environnemental contemporain.

This master thesis in creative writing is divided in two parts. The first one, Mécanique de la nuit, gathers dreamlike short stories about the conflict between human and nature. It stages natural catastrophes, wild animals, parasites, etc. The short stories are structured by echos between characters and places. They are told by an omniscient narrator who also talks about dreams in a scientific perspective. The title of the second part is Narration et imagination environnementale dans Les larmes de saint Laurent de Dominique Fortier. It talks about the role of narration in the novel poetic, and then analyses its scope with an ecocritic perspective. It aims to determine the potential contribution of an unusual narrative voice to the renewal of contemporary environmental imagination.

Full textEntitled Le cri de La Sourde et autres marées, the fictional part of the thesis revolves around a handful of singular characters with whom my mother grew up and that I encountered during my summer stays in Matanie . From fragments of historical facts such as the sinking of the Longfellow in 1902 on the shore of Petit-Matane and the unexpected presence of German submarines in the St. Lawrence waters by the end of WW2, the shaping of the story works as an assemblage of souvenirs, rumours, superstitions and unexplained disappearances. What links a humble barber such as my grandfather Louis-Harmel to the notorious Al Capone? How did the Cordonnier-pas-de-pattes (No-legs-shoemaker), the woman know as La Pipi (The Peepee), La Pouette and La Sourde (The Deaf Girl) get their nicknames? Then again why was my Albertan born mother raised in Gaspésie, on the east coast afar from her biological family of sixteen children? Adopting the movement of the tides, the writing seeks the rumbling sound of silences and unsaid truths seeking to rescue some shreds of memoria. What is at stake here finds its roots in the impossibility for the mother – or what could be interpreted as her refusal to transmit the family history – and the imperative urge for the daughter to insure its continuation. The metaphorical key of this fiction resides in La Sourde and her tragic destiny. Mères et filles : du langage fragmenté à l’écriture de filiation, the second part of the thesis, addresses the mother’s silence and mothers as silent or absent figures in the works of Louise Dupré and Marie Christine Bernard. The research aims to show how the mother figure in some women's fiction could very well be operating in the clandestine. In other words: are there links to be found between the maternal silence (or the silenced maternal) and the fragmentation marks in the structure, language and the narrative body of a text. This study explores silence and language boundaries, rupture and mother-daughter bonds within literary modern writing aesthetics.

Full textRequiem déploie un univers intimiste où deux narrateurs, l’un modèle nu, l’autre peintre ecclésiastique, vivent en huis clos dans le couvent du village qui les ont vus naître. Christophe et Frédérique, alias Sœur Hortense, n’entretiennent aucun lien de parenté. Leur rencontre, issue de circonstances troublantes, bouleverse leurs univers en même temps qu’elle leur donne l’occasion de réfléchir sur leur passé. Chacun d’eux est aux prises avec ses propres démons, comme des plaies impossibles à cicatriser. Pourtant, c’est cette fragilité qui les réunira et permettra à la toile de Frédérique de prendre chair. L’œuvre s’élaborera patiemment, dans le silence de l’atelier, là où les masques pourront enfin tomber. L’art devient, par le fait même, le reflet de leur fragilité, en même temps qu’une façon d’évoluer vers une certaine sérénité. L’essai critique de la seconde partie porte sur le roman du peintre contemporain, un sujet qui permet de prolonger la réflexion autour de la relation entre le personnage du peintre et du modèle. Comme dans Requiem, les récits de Monique Proulx, de Jane Urquhart et d’Henry Bauchau s’éloignent d’une dynamique axée sur l’érotisme et la nudité parfaite de la muse en la plaçant plutôt au cœur d’une poïétique fictionnelle qui la mobilise tout entière. La séduction ne se joue plus sur le mode de la passion charnelle, mais tire plutôt son origine des manques et des failles du modèle, qui, ultimement, seront transformés, transfigurés par la création. Cette analyse, inspirée des réflexions philosophiques sur la vulnérabilité (Ricœur, Levinas), nous a permis de mieux comprendre en quoi cette dernière est le gage de l’universalité des œuvres inscrites au cœur des récits étudiés. Elle a également légitimé un discours moins pessimiste autour du mythe de l’artiste, l’échec n’étant plus considéré comme une fin en soi, mais bien comme le tremplin vers une création résolument authentique.
Requiem sets in motion an intimate world where two narrators, one a nude model, the other an ecclesiastical painter, live in seclusion in the village convent, near where both characters were born. Christophe and Frédérique (Sister Hortense), do not have a relationship; their encounter, the product of troubling circumstances, turns their world upside down even as it gives them the opportunity to reflect upon their past. Both struggle with their own demons, like wounds that refuse to heal. However, it is this fragility that unites them and allows Frédérique’s canvas to become flesh and blood. In the silence of the workshop, where masks can finally crumble, the painting patiently takes shape. Consequently, art becomes a reflection of the narrators’ fragility as well as a way to evolve towards a certain serenity. The critical essay portion concerns contemporary artist’s novel, which is a subject that allows for a prolonged reflection on the relationship between the character of the painter and the model. As in Requiem, the stories of Monique Proulx, Jane Urquhart, and Henry Bauchau distance themselves from a dynamic centered on eroticism and the nude perfection of the painter’s muse by placing this one at the heart of a fictional poïétique that completely mobilises her. Seduction no longer plays out through physical passions, but rather originates from the shortcomings and flaws of the model, which will be transformed and transfigured by the act of creation. This analysis, inspired by philosophical reflections on vulnerability (Ricœur, Levinas), will allow us to better understand how the latter is the proof of the universality of the artwork inscribed at the heart of the stories studied here. This analysis also legitimates a less pessimistic discourse around the myth of the artist, in which failure is no longer considered as an end in and of itself, but as a springboard towards a resolutely authentic creation.

Full textIn Quebec City, gentrification is increasingly observable in the Saint-Sauveur neighbourhood. This qualitative study provides an opportunity for participants to talk about a subject that concerns them, namely gentrification, and to cross-reference various perceptions of this phenomenon. The research aims to answer the following question: what are the perceptions three groups of social actors have of gentrification in the Saint-Sauveur neighbourhood of Quebec City? The analytical framework of the research is based on critical and constructivist epistemological postures but also on the theory of symbolic interactionism. This case study was conducted through 15 semi-directed individual interviews that were conducted with three groups of social actors: recent and long-term residents, community workers and volunteers, and business owners. The content analysis was performed using NVivo 11 software. After the analysis was done, participants were gathered for a final group meeting to validate its results. The results of this study allow for a better understanding of participants’ perceptions. Their perceptions of the gentrification process are very nuanced; they describe it as a mechanism where it is important to preserve a certain balance. These perceptions have been subdivided into six categories: population, housing, physical space, culture, local businesses and services, and security. These factors influence each other and combine to present a portrait of the different aspects of gentrification. The research participants expressed their perceptions regarding the roles of different social actors within the neighbourhood, revealing the full complexity of the gentrification phenomenon. The perspectives for research, for interventions and for the future of the neighbourhood are explained in order to offer some avenues for reflection on the topic of gentrification.

Full textIn a village, lost in a grey desert, a young boy following in a long tradition could not aspire for happiness. As we say in his country, "when born from a lion, a lion you become". He descended from rats and hence, according to the law, he would remain against the wall by day and scavenge for scraps by night. That is, until the Traveller arrived in the village. The mysterious wanderer could see beyond his condition and soon she uncovered a spark in him. Months went by and day after day she would sit next to the stoic boy and tell him about her life, about mathematics, forest survival, anything and everything. One morning, however, nobody came. The boy remained puzzled until he noticed the Traveller's most cherished possession lying on a table in front of him. At that point, he took the first decision of his life, namely returning it to the Traveller. In these pages, I explore the matter of human happiness, why some find it, why others do not and to what extent do we play a role in the result. In the essay, I discuss the subject of happiness with Rostand and Voltaire based on our work, more specifically Cyrano de Bergerac, Candide and Charif ou l'antipathie du bonheur. Therein I compare the destiny of bigger-than-life characters and wonder about their involvement in reaching their goal or not, that is, finding happiness.
