{"title":"Notre plaine et les leurs... : images du Manitoba et de la France chez Gabrielle Roy","authors":"N. Dolbec","doi":"10.7202/1094025ar","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7202/1094025ar","url":null,"abstract":"Between the Canadian plains (“Manitoba”), where fresh water simultaneously nourishes abundant crops and charming mirages, and the saline land’s ends of Bretagne (“Sainte-Anne-la-Palud”) and of Camargue (“The Camargue”), plains soaked with “unwholesome water,” Fragiles lumières de la terre evokes not only the physical distance between two continents but also the distance between the child’s paradise revisited, nestled at the “axis of the world,” and two brackish spaces, which are at land’s end, both marked by war and representative of the worst aspects of modernity. Our analysis of the internal modes of organization of the descriptions in these three articles will focus on three operations studied by theoreticians: anchoring, reformulation and assimilation. The study of anchoring, especially the one of the legend-word which accompanies the title-theme, allows for the designation of a positional function for the descriptions, which ties them to a specific genre: the idyll for “Manitoba,” and the elegy for “Sainte-Anne-la-Palud” and “The Camargue”. But the initial genre labelling of the three articles is called into question by the operation of reformulation. The idyllic description of Manitoba ends with a brackish conclusion, thus rejoining the spirit of the other two, which in turn move from elegy towards a polemic tone. The latter term takes on its full meaning in the study of the operations of assimilation, where similes and metaphors take the form of war and peace allegories. The manipulation of these three descriptive operations in the texts evokes Camus’ metaphor of exile and the kingdom. At first glance, the plains of Manitoba appears as the kingdom, while those of Bretagne’s Finistère and the Camargue represent exile. But this kingdom that is Manitoba is not free of bitterness. One realizes that no longer can a kingdom, even a child’s paradise, be separated from exile. 40 CAHIERS FRANCO-CANADIENS DE L'OUEST, 2003","PeriodicalId":104803,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers franco-canadiens de l'Ouest","volume":"296 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115928750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Les mots du corps dans Alexandre Chenevert ou l’envers de la communication avortée","authors":"Céline Tanguay","doi":"10.7202/1094028ar","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7202/1094028ar","url":null,"abstract":"Since it was first published, Alexandre Chenevert (The Cashier) has regularly been studied from the so-called “psychological” perspective while the hero’s bodily dimension, as revealed through the narrative, has long been ignored. But what literally and properly can be said about Alexandre’s body? The aim of our paper is to answer this question, at least in part. Through a semiotic reading of the body seen as a vector of communicative signs, for which we provide the methodological principles, we first of all define the protagonist’s behavioural attitude in relationship to other characters in the novel. Secondly, we isolate the conditions behind the existence of various behaviours. Finally, and concurrently, we establish the poetics of the non-verbal in Gabrielle Roy based on three extracts, i.e. chapters two, three and five of the first part of the novel. Our analysis leads us to conclude that labelling Alexandre as a “victim” is not always appropriate. Although the label appears to fit, Alexandre is confronted with people who are permeated with the language of propaganda, false advertising and information. This language abounds in the novel and the Montreal cashier tells himself he must constantly be on his guard against it. The character’s alienation is subjected to yet another trial but, for Alexandre, body language is a way to escape it. Il se redressa, s’avança du fond des champs, chétive silhouette à courtes jambes et grosse tête embroussaillée. Comme une mouche de son bourdonnement, lui était enveloppé de ses plaintes, rabâchage constant de griefs, défis et menaces dans le vide, que peut-être il ne percevait même plus. Parvenu devant le petit jardin, il s’arrêta, vit le travail accompli par Martha, parut en prendre violemment ombrage, secoua la tête avec emportement et se répandit en un nouvel accès de lamentations. Puis, sa casquette enfoncée jusqu’aux oreilles il vint se mettre à table, saisit du pain et, comme si c’était aussi quelque chose à quoi s’en prendre, le déchira de ses dents. Était-ce encore un visage humain que Martha avait sous les yeux? Le front, la bouche, le regard, tout ce qui en des physionomies même rébarbatives est porte d’accès, chez Stépan se cachait sous du poil. La grosse moustache en herse couvrait tout le bas du visage; l’effroyable brousse des cheveux de jour en jour s’étendait; d’énormes sourcils noueux et sombres la rejoignaient; au fond, veillaient des yeux de loup, défiants et sombres.
