Ma pratique de l'art numérique m'amène à m'interroger sur la dialectique entre le réseau technique et la création d'une oeuvre. La question devient particulièrement intéressante lorsque l'environnement instrumental est purement artificiel et que l'oeuvre dépend d'une dimension technologique pour être vécue. Cette problématique est explorée à travers Ce qu'il reste (2010) une oeuvre réalisée dans le cadre de ce projet de recherche.

Ce mémoire propose une étude du dernier recueil du poète québécois Paul-Marie Lapointe, intitulé Espèces fragiles, en y détaillant la présence d’un intertexte scientifique et en dégageant les effets de sens liés à la juxtaposition de postures intertextuelles variées. Nous suggérons que l’idée d’une intertextualité dite « externe » jumelée à la notion de la « référencialité » peut aider à comprendre les enjeux d’une intertextualité scientifique en poésie. En regard de la place du sujet et de l’objet dans la poésie de Lapointe, nous montrons que la présence d’un intertexte littéraire est directement liée à l’élaboration de l’intertexte archéologique dans Espèces fragiles. Finalement, nous proposons que les effets de lecture issus des tonalités plurielles du recueil accentuent la critique des logiques économiques contemporaines présentée par Lapointe. Le détournement de l’intertexte scientifique fait ainsi valoir la nécessité d’une mémoire culturelle forte, marquée par la résurgence constante du passé dans un présent en devenir. / The present master’s thesis consists in a study of Quebecois poet Paul-Marie Lapointe’s last collection, Espèces fragiles. This study examines the presence of scientific intertextuality in this work by pointing to the semantic effects produced by the juxtaposition of a variety of intertextual postures. Following an analysis of the theoretical framework in which previous studies in this field are couched, I argue that the notion of so-called “external” intertextuality combined to that of “referenciality” allows us better to understand the issues surrounding scientific intertextuality in poetry. With regard to the roles of the subject and the object in Lapointe’s poetry, I will show that the presence of literary intertextuality is directly related to the articulation of an archeological intertext in Espèces fragiles. Ultimately, the stylistic effects issuing from the plural tonalities of the collection make it possible to intensify Lapointe’s critique of the economic rationality which predominates in contemporary society. The poet’s appropriation of the scientific intertext is thus mobilized to highlight the need for a strong cultural memory, characterized the perpetual resurgence of the past in an ever emergent present.

Prenant appui sur l’occultation de la mémoire verbale par la théorie théâtrale actuelle, le présent mémoire questionne l’exercice mémoriel des acteurs contemporains à partir de la dialectique mémoire/oubli dans les théories et pratiques de l’énonciation de Larry Tremblay, de Daniel Danis et de Christian Lapointe. Le premier chapitre s’intéresse aux fondements de l’énonciation privilégiés par les praticiens dans leurs discours théoriques – Le crâne des théâtres (Tremblay), « La mémoire intime au théâtre » (Danis), « Petit guide de l’apparition à l’usage de ceux qu’on ne voit pas » (Lapointe) –, plus précisément à la valeur accordée à la mémorisation verbale. Le deuxième s’attache à montrer que les textes dramatiques des auteurs-metteurs en scène – The Dragonfly of Chicoutimi (Tremblay), Mille anonymes (Danis), Sepsis (Lapointe) – engagent aussi un rapport oblique à l’apprentissage par cœur. Enfin, le troisième cherche à définir la notion de mémoire oublieuse à la lumière de laquelle les théories et les pratiques de Tremblay, de Danis et de Lapointe peuvent être analysées ainsi qu’à en identifier certaines conséquences dans leurs mises en scène. / Based on the concealment of verbal memory by theatrical theory, this master’s dissertation questions the memorial exercise of contemporary actors from the memory/oblivion dialectic in the enunciation theories and practices of Larry Tremblay, Daniel Danis and Christian Lapointe. The first chapter focuses on the main foundations of enunciation defended in the theoretical discourses of the practioners – Le crâne des théâtres (Tremblay), « La mémoire intime au théâtre » (Danis), « Petit guide de l’apparition à l’usage de ceux qu’on ne voit pas » (Lapointe) –, more specifically in the value they place on verbal memory. The second chapter shows that their dramatic texts – The Dragonfly of Chicoutimi (Tremblay), Mille anonymes (Danis), Sepsis (Lapointe) – also undertake a slant to learning by heart. Finally, the third chapter seeks to define the concept of forgetful memory in the light of which the theories and practices of Tremblay, Danis and Lapointe can be analyzed and to identify some implications in their staging.

From 1933 to 1945, thousands of European Jews attempted to gain access to Canada in order to escape Nazi oppression. This thesis examines Canada’s immigration records and policies during this period. In addition to bringing light to key issues concerning popular Canadian perceptions of Jewish immigrants and refugees in the thirties and forties, this history raises important questions about the Canadian government and ethical responsibility in a time of war; about the relationship between government policy and provincial politics; and about the position taken by Canada’s longest serving Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, and his Cabinet. The author’s research brings attention to Irving Abella and Harold Troper’s work, None is too Many, which, since its publication in 1982, has stood as the authoritative work on the subject. A variety of important issues which are not treated in detail in this earlier monograph are examined in depth in this analysis: The prevalence of anti-Semitism in French and English Canada, and the Canadian immigration record are treated in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 and 4 investigate accusations that William Lyon Mackenzie King, Ernest Lapointe, Frederick Charles Blair, and Vincent Massey harboured anti-Semitic views. It is found that such charges suffer from a serious lack of evidence. Although sometimes the language used by these men in their correspondence and letters can be shocking to the modern reader, it was the colloquial language during their lives. Furthermore, their personal documents often exhibit evidence of sincere sympathy for the Jews of Europe, and frustration with Canadian popular opinion. The author concludes that collective memory of the Holocaust has affected perceptions concerning the Canadian immigration record during the period in question. Anti-immigration sentiment was strong in Canada during the Depression. Nevertheless, as the Canadian Government became increasingly aware of the persecution of Jews within the Reich, particularly following the events of Kristallnacht in November of 1938, measures were put into place to ease Jewish immigration to Canada, such as including refugees among the admissible classes of immigrants. The Canadian Government did not begin to receive information concerning the extermination of European Jewry until 1942. By this time, there was hardly anything Canada could do. Heinrich Himmler had forbidden Jewish emigration from the Reich in October of 1941, the war was in full swing by 1942, and ships carrying refugees and PoWs were not safe from U-boat attacks. From 1933 to 1945 Canada allowed 8,787 Jews into the country. However, all immigration to Canada was slowed during this time. Consequently, Jews, in actuality, represented a higher percentage of immigrants arriving in Canada, at this time, than they had from 1923 to 1932. This illustrates Canada’s doors we not closed specifically to Jewish refugees during the Depression and Second World War.
