Nation and Self-Narration: A View from Québec/Quebec
|
| Abstract |
A five part analysis of autobiographical writing, from political/public discourses and their deployment of autobiographical tropes to construct the life-narrative of the nation; to critical writing on Québec autobiography and its similar investment in a nation-building narrative; to autobiographical writings—first in French and French translation (in the case of Montagnais writer Ann Kapesh), then in English—which suggest a more complex relationship between the subject and the nation; and finally back to the political and the present, in anticipation of the future. The publications by English Quebecers examined include Gary Caldwell's La question du Québec anglais; Elspeth Probyn's Love in a Cold Climate: Queer Belongings in Quebec; Laurel Buck's Stream of Memory: Reflections of Megantic County; and Cliffton Ruggles' Outsider Blues.
