Title
Mapping Jouissance: Insights from a Case Study in the Schizophrenia of Canadian Drama
Abstract
The author contrasts the careers of Montreal playwrights David Fennario (b. 1947) and Michel Tremblay (b. 1942), both of whom share and write from the perspective of their working-class backgrounds. Fennario's perspective is a Marxist assessment of the inhabitants of Point St. Charles, an inner-city enclave of both Anglophones and Francophones, while Tremblay's focus tends towards homoeroticism and the Francophone inhabitants of Montreal's east-end, today known as the trendy (and no longer working class) Plateau-Mont-Royal.
