"On the Road" alongside the literary criticism of Gilles Deleuze and his counterparts. Emphasis on Deleuze and Félix Guattari's notion of the "rhizome" in comparison to the spontaneous routes of cross-country travel taken by characters in Kerouac's novel, and the innovative styles and shapes of his prose. Conversation with Deleuze's own reading of and writings on "On the Road" through the critic's descriptions of what is meant by the term "minor literature" : writing which is characteristically "deterritorializ[ed]" and exhibits a collective, political nature.]]> 1645443]]> Canuck, nomade franco-américaine : persistence et transformation de l'imaginaire canadien-français]]> 55667210]]> Preview]]> 10998820]]> Preview (2011 edition)]]> 42861911]]>
"Jack Kerouac meets Beau Dommage! This novel of a coming-of-age in the Montreal music scene of the Seventies is a Québécois blues, wise, pungent, and funny." -- Peter Behrens, Governor-General's Award winning author of The Law of Dreams]]> 712851483]]> 2011925254 (Library of Congress)]]> Preview]]> 758646813]]> 16044405]]> 26801089]]> 29353487]]> 29353487]]> Sous-titrée, "Dédié aux Franco-Américains de la Nouvelle Angleterre."


Une collection de dessins politiques qui soulèvent des questions sur le traitement des Franco-Américaines par leur clergé catholique dans la Nouvelle-Angleterre, ou plus précisément, dans le Maine. Commentaire artistique québécois sur la relation entre l'Église catholique - principalement, les évêques catholiques - et l'assimilation franco-américaine aux États-Unis au début du 20e siècle. Représentations sévères fictifs de la hiérarchie catholique et les Irlando-Américains de la Nouvelle-Angleterre.

De l'éditeur: "Cet album ne surprendra pas ceux qui, depuis vingt ou vingt-cinq ans, s'intéressent au sort de nos compatriotes établis aux Etats-Unis, ou - pour parler avec plus d'exactitude - de nos compatriotes établis en dehors de la province de Québec....Les dessins qui y sont groupés ne font pas autre chose que fixer quelques traits principaux de la vie catholique aux Etats-Unis."

From McClelland and Stewart: "'The Questing Beast' traces the lives of a father and son - heirs to a mysterious family disgrace - and their obsessive attempts to appease the specter of their past. Each of them is guided by enigmatic, even mystical, women as their separate journeys take them from the asbestos pits of Thetford Mines, Quebec, to the lush gardens of Miami Beach and, ultimately, back to the same destination."]]> 10866546]]> A collection of student writings in celebration of the 200th year of the Acadian settlement at St. David, Maine, in the northern St. John River Valley.

From the author: "This article explores the subterranean layers of 'On the Road,' firstly, approaching them from three perspectives (the dyad routes-roots, ethnogenesis and cultural geography), and secondly, considering the novel within a larger project, the 'Road' project, which allows further insight into the genesis of the 1957 edition and of the original scroll published fifty years later. This article focuses on the relationship between space, identity, travel and nation, and attempts to offer a reading of the author’s French-Canadian and Franco-American invisible ethnicity as a guiding line to the 'On the Road' proto-versions and to the themes developed (travel, mapping the land and the quest for the father[land])."]]> FULL TEXT/TEXTE INTÉGRAL]]> https://francolibrary.com/items/show/2125]]> 24283905]]> Full Text]]> 1400482]]> 2442278]]> La langue est gardienne : Language and Identity in Franco-American Literature]]> Le petit mangeur des fleurs; David Plante's recent memoir, American Ghosts, featuring prominently the parish of his hometown, Providence, Rhode Island.]]> 60628349]]> 2256746]]> 37589723]]>
