la banlieue: de Jacques Ferron à Michael Delisle

Halin, Francis January 2008 (has links)
This Master's thesis aims to demonstrate that the history of the suburb happened in two phases, creating two kinds of suburbs: "countryside-suburbs" and "new generation suburbs," which can be found in literary texts. The first chapter traces the social history ofthe suburb. The second chapter analyzes texts by Jacques Ferron in which he describesthe countryside-suburb. The third chapter takes a look at Dee by Michel Delisle, whichnot only portrays the countryside-suburb (like Ferron), but also evokes the newgeneration suburb. The countryside-suburb has a natural, rural aspect, and it has a certainin stability due its bordering the city. The new generation suburb is a place where the rural aspect is vanishing, and where the sense of instability seems more ideological than material. It is a place where the American Dream has been realized according to the script, but has generated a feeling of emptiness. / Ce mémoire vise a demontrer qu'il existe deux types de banlieues dans la littérature québecoise: les "banlieues-campagnes" et les "banlieues nouvelle generation". Le premier chapitre considère la socio-histoire de la banlieue québecoise. Le deuxième explore quelques textes de Jacques Ferron ou des traces de la banlieue campagne peuvent etre observées. Le troisième chapitre fait ressortir, dans le roman Deede Michael Delisle, des éléments définitionnels de la banlieue-campagne semblables à ceux décelés chez Ferron: un aspect natural, une certaine ruralité et une instabilité attribuable au caractère limitrophe de ce lieu par rapport a la ville. Ce chapitre traite aussi des aspects de la banlieue nouvelle génération, une nature domptée, un lieu ou la ruralité n'a plus préseance, une instabilité moins materielle qu'ideologique. Ce mémoire conclut que la banlieue nouvelle génération est le résultat d'un American Dream consommé ou un grand vide s'est immiscé.
