Description
This course examines the francophone literature of Canada from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. Students examine works by authors from Acadia, Manitoba and Quebec, as well as by writers known as les écrivains migrants, with emphasis on the central role played by the novel and by the Révolution tranquille in the development of contemporary Canadian francophone literature. The course may include works of Blais, Miron, Ducharme, Tremblay, Hébert, Maillet, Chen, Chiasson and Léveillé. Novels, drama and poetry are analyzed using literary theories drawn from narratology and narrative/ semiotics discursive. Periodic class discussions will take a table ronde format.
