POST OU PÉRI-COLONIALISME: LE LABORATOIRE QUÉBÉCOIS

Abstract

The author analyzes the state of the literature of Quebec in relation to France, focusing on recent debates on the notion of francophonie, an ambiguous term when applied to literature for its policy implications. She believes that the conflicts experienced by Francophone writers create a distinctive linguistic awareness, which is further discussed in the work of some Québec writers such as Michel Tremblay, Francine Noël, Réjean Ducharme et Jacques Poulin.
