520 For too long the main narratives of motherhood have been
oppressive and exclusionary, frequently ignoring issues of
female identity--especially regarding those not conforming
to traditional female stereotypes. Horrible Mothers offers
a variety of perspectives for analyzing representations of
the mother in francophone literature and film at the turn
of the twenty-first century in North America, including
Québec, Ontario, New England, and California. Contributors
reexamine the "horrible mother" paradigm within a broad
range of sociocultural contexts from different locations
to broaden the understanding of mothering beyond
traditional ideology. The selections draw from long-
established scholarship in women's studies as well as from
new developments in queer studies to make sense of and
articulate strategies of representation; to show how
contemporary family models are constantly evolving,
reshaping, and moving away from heteronormative
expectations; and to reposition mothers as subjects
occupying the center of their own narrative, rather than
as objects. The contributors engage narratives of
mothering from myriad perspectives, referencing the works
of writers or filmmakers such as Marguerite Andersen,
Nelly Arcan, Grégoire Chabot, Xavier Dolan, Nancy Huston,
and Lucie Joubert.
