Facettes du discours fictionnel postmoderne dans la littérature québécoise contemporain

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary postmodern period is characterized by major changes reflected in reinventing new dominant values (recognizing individuality, customizing lifestyle, the spirit of ethnic, religiuous and sexual tolerance, individual reference to history,etc.). These changes were determined by a significant development of new communication and information technologies. The specificity of modern fictional discourse in quebeqoise literature lies in biulding a metastory of History and Time, and Individual and Collective Identity as well. All these, very well rooted into the social, political and cultural francophone Canada. Our aim here is to review the constant elements of postmodern poetics exemplifying with samples of feminine and feminist literature (Nicole Brossard, Louky Bersianik, Yolande Villemare, Francine Noel, etc.). Then we continue with a brief analysis of a classic such as Jacques Poulin and conclude with a summary of the new generation of postmodern “novelistsof despair" (ChristianMistral, Louis Hamelin, Louis Beauchemin, Monique Proulx, Gaetan Soucy, etc.)
