- Title
D'UNE RÉVOLUTION L'AUTRE: FIGURES DE L'ENGAGEMENT CHEZ HUBERT AQUIN ET MORDECAI RICHLER.

Lapointe, Martine-Emmanuelle
- Abstract
In the Quebecois literary context, one would not dare compare Hubert Aquin and Mordecai Richler, two writers whose political convictions seem to oppose each other. But shouldn't we leave aside national politics and try to reflect on the literary representations of the revolutions proposed in their respective works ? Richler and Aquin share a fascination for revolutionary engagement. They consider it like an impossible ideal or a pure fiction. Between the Quebec revolution, dreamt by Prochain Episode's hero, and the ghost of the Spanish Revolution, fantasized and imagined by many richlerian characters, is it possible to draw parallels ? The present paper tries to formulate hypotheses and intents to jump over the trap of the nationalization of literary engagement.
