Poéticas interculturalesacercamiento al mundo francófono canadiense: Antonine Maillet, Hélène Brodeur y Régine Robin

Abstract

In the French speaking world, literary contributions from women immersed in a multicultural awareness are relevant. The concern of all these voices is to carry out an exercise of plural identity building (ontologic, social, linguistic, cultural and literary). These writers impel a new literary conception, the intercultural poetics, born separately from the big literatures. We exemplify our proposal with the analysis of the work of three contemporary writers of the Canadian French speaking world. Their courses are similar but the differences appear in the personal or ideological circumstances that motivate them to write. We refer to Antonine Maillet, who claims the identity of Acadie region, to Hélène Brodeur, who use the historical fiction novel with the intention of proving the existence of the French Ontario identity opposite to Quebec identity, and last, Régine Robin, with European origin and who settled in Quebec with the aim of redefining the relation with the Other from a triple perspective: linguistic, cultural and literary.
