For the creative writing part of my Master's Thesis, I adapted two short stories into short films. My first screenplay is a free reverie based on Mavis Gallant's "Wedding Ring", a highly blurred and elliptic story. I then chose to work on "Careful", a text by Raymond Carver. Carver's writing is very concise and detail oriented. In itself, it is already almost cinematographic. The external gestures, the outside world express the character's interiority and existential uneasiness. This kind of writing calls for a different approach to adaptation. One that is, in the case of my personal work, much closer to the original text. / My creative writing enterprise raises a certain number of questions regarding the essence of the adaptation process. How should one consider a text when adapting it? Should one stay close to the original, or choose to move away from it, at the risk of betrayal? To what extent can one impose one's own vision, voice, words upon somebody else's work? My critical essay will explore the particular position of the person adapting original texts for cinema. / I will focus more specifically on the case of French author, Eric Rohmer, who rewrote some of his own literary work for cinema Unsatisfied with the written form of his Six Contes moraux short stories, Rohmer felt the need to adapt them to the screen. In the preface to his collection of stories, published in 1974, Rohmer speaks of his relationship to literature and cinema. He thus sets the ground for a vast reflection on the different creative possibilities offered by these mediums. The critical section of my Master's thesis will explore what is at stake in this process of rewriting the Six contes moraux from the literary to the cinematographic form.

La partie création du mémoire est un roman, dans lequel sont insérés des contes de la tradition orale, racontés par les personnages. C'est l'histoire de Jo, une petite fille convaincue qu'il vaut mieux être un garçon et qui décide d'ailleurs d'en devenir un. Elle entreprend un voyage de Québec vers la Louisiane, à la recherche d'un ami disparu. La partie reflexive du mémoire porte sur l'influence que peuvent avoir les contes oraux ou écrits sur le développement de l'identité personnelle et de groupe, et en quoi la valorisation du patrimoine oral d'une culture peut contribuer à la garder vivante.
