• Making Stories, Making Selves: Alternate Versions in The Stone Diaries (p. 10 - 28)
• Abstract: Show/hide

  Focusing on recent work in identity theory, this essay shows how The Stone Diaries offers a wider prospect of identity formation than is permitted by current theories of cultural constructivism. Using Paul John Eakin’s narrative model of subjectivity, David Williams shows how the task of Shields’ autobiographer is to “bind” together various registers of selfbodily, interpersonal, extended, private, and conceptual selves that are only unified in the narrative act. Multiple narrators, genres, and selves in the novel are thus Daisy Goodwill’s means to perform her identity in a way that could redeem her past and the people in it.

  
  
  Cet essai traite des travaux récents sur la théorie de l’identité ; il montre comment The Stone Diaries présente une perspective sur la formation de l’identité qui est plus large que celle offerte par les théories contemporaines du constructivisme culturel. David Williams utilise le modèle narratif de la subjectivité développé par Paul John Eakin pour montrer comment la tâche de l’autobiographe de Shields est de « lier » ensemble plusieurs registres du moi – corporel, interpersonnel, élargi, privé et conceptuel – qui ne sont unis que par la narration. Ainsi, dans le roman, plusieurs narrateurs, genres et moi constituent alors la façon dans laquelle Daisy Goodwill assume son identité d’une manière qui est capable de racheter son passé et les personnes qui l’habitent.

• Remodeling An Old-Fashioned Girl: Troubling Girlhood in Anne-Marie MacDonald’s Fall on Your Knees (p. 30 - 45)
• Abstract: Show/hide

  In Ann-Marie MacDonald’s novel, Fall on Your Knees , the Piper girls necessarily comprehend and articulate their own circumstances through the models of girlhood available to them through their reading, particularly Louisa May Alcott’s An Old-Fashioned Girl and Little Women, and L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. Inevitably, as the girls attempt to emulate the model, they remodel it. In diverging from the girls’ story traditions that it acknowledges as sources, Fall On Your Knees also suggests a successful method for change—continually remodeling inherited traditions.

  
  
  Dans le roman d’Ann-Marie MacDonald’s, Fall on Your Knees, les sœurs Piper n’ont d’autre choix que de comprendre et d’articuler leur propre situation dans la perspective des modèles de l’enfance féminine qui leur sont offerts. En particulier, elles ont accès à des livres comme An Old-Fashioned Girl et Les Quatre Filles du docteur March de Louisa May Alcott et Anne... la maison aux pignons verts de L.M. Montgomery. Inévitablement, comme les filles essaient d’imiter le modèle, elles le transforment. Quand le roman diverge des histoires traditionnelles de jeunes filles que la romancière reconnaît comme étant la source de son inspiration, Fall On Your Knees suggère aussi une méthode de changement qui marche : l’adaptation continue des traditions héritées.

• Picking the Deadlock of Legitimacy: Dionne Brand’s noise like the world cracking (p. 48 - 67)
• Abstract: Show/hide

  Dionne Brand’s novel In Another Place, Not Here criticizes identity politics, psychoanalysis, and aspects of poststructuralism that colonize subjectivity. Positing absence at origin, Brand undercuts self/other struggles that legitimize and regulate subjects and desire. Alluding to mass Caribbean suicides, Brand evokes postcolonial potential in absent subjects yet also witnesses abjection and slaughter. She counters the apolitical impossibility of defining freedom or revolutionary, individual, or communal coherence with an anti-foundational coalition that enables new alignments and new subjectivities. Unrestrained by originary intent, Brand’s characters cross discourses, mix them without fidelity to the whole, and develop mobile subjectivities that intersect and derail, opening beauty amidst devastation.
  
  Le roman de Dionne Brand Another Place, Not Here critique la politique de l’identité, la psychanalyse et les aspects du post-structuralisme qui colonisent la subjectivité. Supposant une absence à l’origine, Brand remet en question la lutte entre le soi et les autres qui légitime et régule les sujets et le désir. En faisant référence aux suicides collectifs aux Caraïbes, Brand évoque le potentiel post-colonial des sujets absents en même temps qu’elle témoigne de l’abjection et du massacre. Elle oppose l’impossibilité apolitique de définir la liberté ou la cohérence révolutionnaire, individuelle ou communautaire avec une coalition anti-fondation qui permet les nouveaux alignements et les nouvelles subjectivités. Brand, qui n’est pas restreinte par l’intention originale, crée des personnages qui traversent les discours, les mélangent sans fidélité au tout, et développent des subjectivités mobiles qui se croisent et déraillent pour créer la beauté parmi la dévastation.

• What’s the Matter?: Authors in Carol Shields’ Short Fiction (p. 70 - 84)
• Abstract: Show/hide

  This article is concerned with Carol Shields’ short fiction and the interest revealed in her work in the figure of the author. The article explores this figure, across a range of stories, with respect to varied meanings of materiality. Three aspects are discussed: firstly, Shields’ understanding of creativity as open to both materialist and non-materialist explanations; secondly, the material as subject matter and the ethical problems posed by authors’ handling of subject matter; and, thirdly, the questioning in Shields’ texts of the materiality of the author as a knowable, coherent subject. Shields affirms that writing “matters” whatever the problems of materiality.
  
  Cet article examine les nouvelles de Carol Shields et l’intérêt révélé par son oeuvre pour le personnage de l’auteur. L’étude explore ce personnage à travers plusieurs histoires, en portant attention aux diverses significations de la matérialité. L’article discute trois aspects. D’abord, la compréhension de Shields de la créativité comme ouverte aux explications matérialistes et non-matérialistes à la fois. Deuxièmement, le matériel comme thème et les problèmes éthiques posés par le traitement de ces thèmes par les auteurs. Troisièmement, l’exploration dans les textes de Shields de la matérialité de l’auteur comme sujet cohérent et accessible. Shields affirme la signification de l’écriture malgré les problèmes de matérialité.

• Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake: The Terror of the Therapeutic (p. 86 - 101)
• Abstract: Show/hide

  Atwood correctly recognizes that a world devoid of qualitative distinctions will be driven by base appetites and fears, stimulated by the latest technological innovations and marketed for maximum profit. But the novel does more than simply warn us against pursuing a purportedly therapeutic scientific project shaped ultimately by the laboratory and ledger, by the crude equation of more with better. It also insists that the need for sacred narrative cannot be excised without the loss of our humanity, and that we will not recover ourselves until we recover the stories that tell us who we are.
  
  Atwood reconnaît avec justesse qu’un monde sans distinctions qualitatives sera conduit par des appétits malsains et des peurs, et stimulé par les innovations technologiques récentes et commercialisé pour en maximiser le profit. Mais le roman donne plus qu’un simple avertissement contre la poursuite d’un projet scientifique soi-disant thérapeutique influencé par le laboratoire et le chiffre d’ d’affaires, et par l’idée que « plus » veut toujours dire « mieux. » Elle insiste aussi sur le besoin du récit sacré qui ne peut pas être supprimé sans la perte de notre humanité, en nous expliquant qu’il ne sera pas possible de nous récupérer nous-mêmes tant que nous ne récupérerons pas les histoires qui nous expliquent qui nous sommes.
