In Marie-Claire Blais's trilogy Soifs, the history of the 20th Century is registered in an inter-cultural and inter-discursive realm both as a history which is "infernal" (chaotic, violent, fragmented) and as one which is civilizing. The objective of this study is to observe and comment on this double inscription, to evaluate how it takes charge of and modulates signs and representations already in circulation in social discourse. The author seeks to discern the inter-discursive work of manipulation and translation of social discourse from a point of view which is at once formal, narrative, linguistic and ideological, to ultimately identify the ideological work of Blais's novels on a fundamental stake within current society: the historical past.
