520 In Narratology and Text, Paul Perron examines the role
that literature plays in the formation of French Canadian
identity. Perron presents a narratological and semiotic
analysis of canonical non-fictional and fictional texts
from New France and Quebec, and illustrates how citizens
of French Catholic origins living in Canada have
constructed their identity by defining the self as part of
a closed community founded in race, language, and religion,
and as radically opposed to the other, constituted as an
omnipresent heterogeneous threat to the homogenous group.
The first section of Perron's study is devoted to an
historico-notional overview of some of the major
contributors to the theory of narrative, especially that
of A.J. Greimas. The second and third parts initially
examine the primary and founding texts of first encounters,
Jacques Cartier's Voyages of 1534 and 1535, and the Jesuit
Relations, and then turn to discussions of six
representative Québécois novels from the mid-nineteenth
century to the end of the Duplessis era. Each work is
examined in terms of its definitions of the self, the
other, the group, the nation, language, race, and religion,
as well as its treatment of the idea of place - the
utopian here as opposed to a dystopian there or elsewhere.
Fusing semiotics, narratology, stylistics, and literary
and cultural theory with one of the only English-language
studies on Greimas, this important work offers an original
and thought-provoking contribution to studies of
literature and semiotics.
