| Abstract (English): |
La saison de l'inconfort , published in 1968, is Paule Saint-Onge's third novel. This work reflects the literary prefeminism of 1960s Québec, because we find within the novel the key elements of this movement – a female subject who tries to find her legitimacy by denouncing the patriarchal oppression on all types of relationships in the novel: family and marital relationships and the most intimate relationship of all, that with oneself. Paule Saint-Onge uses the format of the intimate diary, which allows the narrator, Odile, to exteriorize all her discomfort caused by the external pressures she is subjected to. This article first studies Odile's family and marital relationship, both of which have been analyzed by Boisclair (2004), Brown (1992), and Gaudreau (1984), among others. However, the second part of the article, devoted to the narrator's relationship to herself and to the female filiations in the novel, has been studied very little so far. The article analyzes the desires of the narrator in relation to her own future. Futhermore, we look at the influence of the female characters on the destiny of the narrator. Thus, we can better understand the contributions of literary prefeminism to Quebec literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (French): |
La saison de l'inconfort, publié en 1968, est le troisième ouvrage de Paule Saint-Onge. Ce roman s'inscrit dans le préféminisme littéraire québécois des années 1960. Un sujet féminin tente de trouver sa légitimité en dénonçant l'oppression patriarcale dans tous les types de relations du roman: la relation familiale, la relation conjugale et la relation la plus intime, celle à soi. Paule Saint-Onge utilise la forme du journal intime, ce qui permet à la narratrice, Odile, d'extérioriser tout son mal-être causé par les pressions extérieures qu'elle subit. Cet article étudie d'abord les relations familiale et conjugale d'Odile, développant les analyses de Boisclair (2004), Brown (1992) et Gaudreau (1984). Il se penche ensuite sur la relation de la narratrice à elle-même ainsi qu'aux filiations féminines. Nous analysons ensuite les envies de la narratrice par rapport à son propre avenir, et ce, en nous penchant aussi sur l'influence des personnages féminins sur le destin de la narratrice. Ainsi, nous pouvons mieux comprendre les apports du préféminisme littéraire à la littérature québécoise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
