| Publisher Description: The essays investigate how Canada has pursued the construction of its national identity through symbolic cultural expressions. Analysing manifestations of Canada's cultural memory, the essays therefore engage in a search for the Canada of the mind. In particular, they turn to the fields of cultural and of literary studies to show how writers have projected an image of Canada as a desired space and have rendered the search for meaning within this space. En cette ann e du quatri me centenaire de la fondation de la ville de Qu bec, le volume a pour objet de radiographier le concept de l'invention de la nation canadienne. Nous savons que la configuration nationale du Canada, ainsi que celle du Qu bec, est loin d' tre acquise, et qu'il faut se demander dans quelle mesure ce concept en question rel ve d'une donn e historique ou bien plut t d'un travail imaginaire sur un ensemble culturel vaguement d fini. Nous avons r uni les analyses de sp cialistes pour la plupart d'origine centre-europ enne afin de fournir des r ponses ad quates au fait litt raire et culturel de l'invention de la nation canadienne ou qu b coise. |
