Title
Analyse des figures féminines juives dans le roman québécois moderne et contemporain : L’avalée des avalés, La Québécoite et Hadassa
Abstract
This author examines the construction of Jewish female characters in three novels of modern and contemporary Quebec French literature. She examines the novels of Réjean Ducharme, L’avalée des avalés (1967); Régine Robin, La Québécoite (1983); and Myriam Beaudoin, Hadassa (2006). Functions, values, and discourses surrounding the presence of Jewish women figures are analyzed by the author by means of dialogues between places and spaces to identify markers of identity, culture, society, linguistic and religion. The author sought to update the chapter on the female figure of the Jewish pioneering book Mythes et Images du Juif au Québec (1977) by Victor Teboul. She notes that Teboul considers the female Jewish character as a secondary and mainly sexual character. Teboul’s analysis, deeply entrenched in social discourses of the period of publication, deserves to be revisited with a corpus broader and more contemporary. To do this, the author identified the main vectors of female Jewish identity by analyzing the discourses surrounding this presence, dialogue between identity, culture, history and society and the dynamics between spaces and places. She found that, in addition to stereotypes, the Jewish identity of the female figures of the three novels is shaped by its relation with places and spaces. The author concludes that the three novels she examined differ widely in their relationship to Jewishness.
