La mise en scène de l'interaction dans l'œuvre de Jacques Poulin /

Everyone would agree that there is little action in Jacques Poulin's works. This minimalism, which characterizes his writing, is based on solitary individuals who share similar difficulties with social interactions. In Poulin's novels, every interaction seems like an event in itself, as if communicating with others was an adventure. Poulin places the interactions at the heart of his narrative writing. This thesis studies the similarities of these social interactions throughout his eleven novels published to date. The interaction will be analyzed in three phases: as recurring ritual, in connection with the representation of the reader, and with regard to the very language.
