This thesis discusses a major dimension of Ducharme's novels which critics have generally evoked only in the form of analytical outlines, and in order to suggest directions for research. / Bakhtin's work in the formal study of ideology presents fertile ground for description of Ducharme's text. The specificity of Les enfantomes lies in the representation of the play of ideology's discursive forms: pastiche and satire of literary doctrines, parody of texts, of discourses and of the commonplace, presence of potentially conflicting literary doctrines. In terms of methodology, the dialogic principle is perfectly suited to the development of narrative semiotics. Accordingly, Hamon's notion of effet-ideologie makes it possible to describe those areas where ideology appears on the textual surface as normative-evaluative devices integrated in the text. In terms of analytical procedures, the narrative text may be approached as a construction whose specificity resides in the way it reacts to social discourses which it at once absorbs and transforms (Zima). Furthermore, the sociolinguistic context in which the novel is born fosters the emergence of plurilinguism (Kwaterko).
