À la fin du XXe siècle, le roman québécois est caractérisé par une écriture intimiste qui met de l’avant la quête personnelle des protagonistes. Ceux-ci explorent le plus souvent les espaces inconnus à l’intérieur d’eux-mêmes. En fuyant la vie commune pour se retirer dans un monde vaste ou parfois clos, les personnages cherchent à reformuler leur propre identité et leur propre « je ». Dans cet article, je me propose d’analyser l’écriture de trois auteurs contemporains en portant une attention particulière sur la façon dont elle donne forme à ces différents voyages intérieurs. Aussi, en étudiant la représentation des espaces privés et publics, j’analyserai les rapports précaires qui s’établissent entre les personnages et le monde qui les entoure.
People who discuss books in reading groups are playing a role in transferring cultural values, norms and ideas about themes present in the literature they read. How this cultural transfer takes place, and in which ways the process can be enhanced, has to date not been examined. Therefore,
the University of Groningen, the Netherlands collaborated with two public libraries and a community organization to set up a research project addressing different aspects of the process from inside reading groups. The results imply that readers who are focusing on reflection and interpretation
of literature play an important role in cultural transfer, which can be assisted by the use of reading guides. The collaboration between scholars and non-academic partners proved fruitful in co-creating knowledge that can be used in further research and to improve service to reading groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
