Inventing Canada - Inventer le Canada
The essays investigate how Canada has pursued the construction of its national identity through symbolic cultural expressions. Analysing manifestations of Canada’s cultural memory, the essays therefore engage in a search for the Canada of the mind. In particular, they turn to the fields of cultural and of literary studies to show how writers have projected an image of Canada as a desired space and have rendered the search for meaning within this space.
En cette année du quatrième centenaire de la fondation de la ville de Québec, le volume a pour objet de radiographier le concept de l’invention de la nation canadienne. Nous savons que la configuration nationale du Canada, ainsi que celle du Québec, est loin d’être acquise, et qu’il faut se demander dans quelle mesure ce concept en question relève d’une donnée historique ou bien plutôt d’un travail imaginaire sur un ensemble culturel vaguement défini. Nous avons réuni les analyses de spécialistes pour la plupart d’origine centre-européenne afin de fournir des réponses adéquates au fait littéraire et culturel de l’invention de la nation canadienne ou québécoise.
