Avancer vers l'origine : quête identitaire et écriture intertextuelle dans Les inenfances de Sylvanie Penn (1997-2019) de Louky Bersianik
Bibliographic record
Abstract
RÉSUMÉ : Ce mémoire s'intéresse à la fresque intitulée Les inenfances de Sylvanie Penn de Louky Bersianik (Lucile Durand, 1930-2011), composée des tomes Permafrost (1997) et Eremo (2019). Il étudie l'interaction entre la quête identitaire de la protagoniste et l'intertextualité, en faisant ressortir les trois principaux intertextes de cette œuvre, soit Les Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles (1864) et Ce qu'Alice trouva de l'autre côté du miroir (1871) de Lewis Carroll, Une saison dans la vie d'Emmanuel (1965) de Marie-Claire Blais et le Livre de la vie (1588) de sainte Thérèse d'Avila. Il tente de montrer que ce jeu intertextuel s'accompagne d'une impossible remontée vers l'origine, l'hypothèse étant que l'abandon de Sylvanie Penn par sa famille et la déroute identitaire qui en résulte seraient résolus par le recours de la narratrice à l'intertextualité. Les intertextes se substitueraient dès lors aux proches disparus, en conférant une matière positive au récit de Sylvanie Penn, à cette histoire d'une enfance qui n'a pas eu lieu. Ce mémoire emploie ainsi l'approche intertextuelle, se basant principalement sur les travaux de Tiphaine Samoyault (L'intertextualité. Mémoire de la littérature, 2001) et de Gérard Genette (Palimpsestes. La littérature au second degré, 1982) sur l'intertextualité et l'hypertextualité. Il se réfère également aux travaux critiques de Lori Saint-Martin (Le nom de la mère, 1999) et d'Evelyne Ledoux-Beaugrand (Imaginaires de la filiation, 2013) sur la représentation et le traitement de la relation filiale dans l'écriture contemporaine des femmes au Québec. -- Mot(s) clé(s) en français : roman, littérature québécoise, littérature des femmes, intertextualité, quête identitaire. -- \nABSTRACT : This thesis examines the series titled Les inenfances de Sylvanie Penn by Louky Bersianik (Lucile Durand, 1930-2011), composed of the volumes Permafrost (1997) and Eremo (2019). It studies the interaction between the identity quest of the protagonist and intertextuality, bringing out the three main intertexts of those novels: Les Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles (1864) and Ce qu'Alice trouva de l'autre côté du miroir (1871) by Lewis Carroll, Une saison dans la vie d'Emmanuel (1965) by Marie-Claire Blais and the Livre de la vie (1588) by Saint Teresa of Avila. It attempts to show that the intertextual game is accompanied by an impossible return to the origin, the hypothesis being that the abandonment of Sylvanie Penn by her family and the resulting identity bewilderment would be resolved by the narrator's use of intertextuality. The intertexts would thus substitute for the missing relatives, conferring a positive material to the story of Sylvanie Penn, the story of a childhood that has never occurred. This thesis therefore conducts an intertextual reading, based on Tiphaine Samoyault (L'intertextualité. Mémoire de la littérature, 2001) and Gérard Genette's (Palimpsestes. La littérature au second degré, 1982) works on intertextuality and hypertextuality. It also refers to Lori Saint-Martin (Le nom de la mère, 1999) and Evelyne Ledoux-Beaugrand's (Imaginaires de la filiation, 2013) critical works on the representation and treatment of the filial relation in women's contemporary writing in Quebec. -- Mot(s) clé(s) en anglais : novel, Quebec literature, women's literature, intertextuality, identity quest.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
