DUVICQ, NELLY
- Abstract
In her spoken word and fictional texts, the Inuit poet Taqralik Partridge, born in Kuujjuaq, explores the relationships between the Inuk, the North and the South. As a porous space through which the presence and the absence of the North is acted out, the body plays an essential role in the author's poetics. This article aims to analyse the conditions in which bodies "live" in the North, whereas in the South they "survive" or "wither". However, far from settling for a Manichean vision of the North and South, in which Inuit culture is opposed to that of the Occident, Taqralik Partridge constructs a narrative where the -- mostly female -- body, regardless of its location, acts as a conduit to Inuit culture and its values through the clothing worn, the food eaten, the gestures made and the manner in which these activities are assumed.
