The Evolution of Canonical Circuits

The Evolution of Canonical Circuits

Origins and evolution of the Québec novel - its concerns, its scope, its structure. The novel's relationship to the social, linguistic, and economic landscapes of the society from which it springs. Reflections on this relationship as concerning systems of literary or scholastic organization - encyclopedia, anthology, market - where each descriptive process depends upon certain norms and a certain historical context, and where each description has an historical impact. How war, censorship, revolution, and social criticism have shaped these terms of description historically in Québec. From an issue of the journal, Poetics Today, entitled, "National Literatures/Social Spaces."
