Title |
Hellman’s Scrapbook de Robert Majzels : un autre regard sur la surconscience linguistique québécoise
|
Abstract |
According to many critics, Quebec literature is characterized by an extreme awareness of language. This awareness, however (and the multilingualism that often goes along with it), has been almost exclusively explored in the corpus of French Québec. The author attempts to show, through a reading of Hellman's Scrapbook: A Novel (Cormorant Books 1992) by Robert Majzels, that such an awareness can also be found in certain texts of fiction written in English in Quebec. The author argues that Hellman's Scrapbook is a perfect example of what Lise Gauvin calls “surconscience linguistique.” She contends that the multilingual strategies that can be found in this book invite a re-evaluation of the linguistic lines of division that tend to define Quebec literature. Indeed, she points out, they call for a more inclusive canon.
