AbstractWe will examine two novels by Nancy Huston – Les variations Goldberg and Histoire d'Omaya – comparing composition strategies used in the former, characterized by rigid, tighly woven prose, with the seemingly contrasting fragmented structures of the latter. We will attempt to bring out the similarities and differences between these two works while examining how, in this author's work, the fictional tale spreads forth in the telling, as opposed to being told in linear fashion. We will then examine some of the innovative methods that the writer uses, while seeking to determine whether these composition strategies are successful in eliciting and maintening the interest of readers who are thus called upon to play an active role in (re)constructing and (re)creating these tales by Nancy Huston.

The article considers the evolution of female protagonists throughout the Star Wars saga and questions their growing visibility in terms of female leadership. Using the theoretical frame proposed by Durand regarding the anthropological structures of fairy tales and legends, this article analyzes the emancipating process of the saga heroines from patriarchal institutions and religious oppression. Affirmed through individual trajectories, feminist scope of the saga is marked by a differentialist vision as leadership is asserting itself as a female characteristic.

This article addresses the way mass suburbanization was marketed to Montrealers in the 1950s and 1960s. By analyzing advertisements for newly-built single-family homes in Anglophone and Francophone newspapers, I seek to better understand the evolution of marketing strategies and the structuring of their underlying suburban ideal. The analysis allows me not only to shed light on what constitutes the ideal-typical publicity for this period, but also to observe how the discourses and strategies were complexified over the years and converged between both linguistic groups, at least in their content.

Although environmental history is undeniably a booming and growing branch of the field, it is still seldom applied to New France, even if some research exists that could contribute to it. This article aims at reviewing the works already released concerning the period, either incorporated in wide, diachronic studies or focusing on French America and the spaces composing it. The accounts on the latter often deal with the various ways in which Europeans worked with and adapted to the American environment. This narrative could be fleshed out and made more nuanced by connecting the environmental history of New France to other American, Atlantic or French spaces. Last but not least, the environmental approach is a way to challenge the traditional narratives of colonial history through specific methodologies and new disciplinary, geographical, and chronological boundaries.
