The purpose of this paper is to explore how, through different times (1929-2009), polyphony, initially described by Mikhail Bakhtine using Dostoyevsky's oeuvre, has evolved to reflect a more contemporary polyphony in the work of Marie-Claire Blais, specifically in Naissance de Rebecca à l'ère des tourments, by becoming a paradoxical polyphony where the multitude of voices does not lead to communication and where multiple particular facts cannot be isolated. The two approaches, although different, lead to an effect of globality where the narration plays a leading role and where events do not really mean if not taken as a whole.

An analysis of the publications and lectures of Quebecer Cistercian Yves Girard reveals a major theme in his spiritual theology : the being desire he interprets as a desire to encounter God.

According to the author, we already possess what we desire, an inner wealth that silence gives us access to.

The four novels published thus far by Philippe Renonçay compose a work of great coherence. They focus mainly on the question of evil. While this is not an original topic—one does not write good literature with good sentiments, said Gide—, Renonçay's treatment of it, however, is far more radical. It finds itself in the context of one of today's literary concerns which centers around the depiction of evil: Dantec, Jauffret, Germain, Nobécourt, among others, come to mind. Perhaps a sign of the times, Renonçay's originality is to be found, at least in part, in the intemperance with which the characters of his novels address our dereliction: an uncompromising, unrestrained violence oscillates between the impulse to settle the score with God and the unwavering decision to do away with a corrupt humanity once and for all.
