La Relation Hétérosexuelle dans Trois Romans Contemporains au Féminin au Québec : Regards sur la Construction Identitaire Genrée
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cette thèse étudie la représentation de la relation hétérosexuelle dans trois romans au féminin dans la période contemporaine au Québec. Pour ce faire, j’ai recours aux théories du genre sexuel. Chaque roman du corpus met en scène une narratrice qui fait le portrait de son partenaire amoureux ou conjugal et de sa relation avec lui : je prête ainsi une attention particulière à la construction identitaire masculine en fonction de la construction identitaire féminine des narratrices. En me référant à diverses théories (le constructivisme social, l’études des stéréotypes, l’intersubjectivité et le féminisme), j’examine Espèces de Ying Chen, Folle de Nelly Arcan et Mãn de Kim Thúy et je m’attarde aux moyens littéraires que les auteures utilisent pour élaborer une critique féministe des rapports de genre. Différents procédés littéraires sont déployés par les romancières afin d’interroger la binarité du genre sexuel : de l’ironie au réalisme magique en passant par l’intertextualité, leurs démarches sont hétérogènes. Le premier chapitre met en évidence les approches théoriques employées pour analyser les romans. Le deuxième chapitre porte sur Espèces de Ying Chen, qui explore les formes du réalisme magique au féminin et resignifie la figure de la chatte dans le roman. Cette œuvre met en question la réitération de l’objectification féminine dans la relation conjugale. Dans le troisième chapitre, sur Folle de Nelly Arcan, j’analyse l’ironie, l’humour noir et la resignification d’injures faites aux femmes pour montrer comment l’auteure critique les stéréotypes genrés dans la relation amoureuse. Le dernier chapitre, consacré à Mãn de Kim Thúy, explore l’écriture migrante et l’intertextualité afin de témoigner de l’importance de la reconnaissance mutuelle dans la relation hétérosexuelle. This thesis analyzes the representation of the heterosexual relationships in the contemporary women’s novels in Quebec. Each novel under study features a female narrator who portrays her romantic or conjugal partner, as well as her relationship with him. My analysis focuses on the construction of masculine identity in relation to the construction of the narrators’ female identity. Drawing on various theories (social constructivism, studies of stereotypes, intersubjectivity, and feminism), I examine Ying Chen’s Espèces, Nelly Arcan’s Folle, and Kim Thúy’s Mãn while focusing on the literary techniques employed by the authors to develop a feminist critique of gender relations. Literary devices allow novelists to question gender binarity: from irony to magical realism, and migrant literature, their approaches are diverse. The first chapter examines the theoretical framework used to analyze the novels. The second chapter focuses on Espèces by Ying Chen. I explore Chen’s female take on magical realism and the meaning of the figure of the cat in the novel. Chen’s work challenges the reiteration of feminine objectification in the conjugal relationship. The third chapter features on the analysis of Folle by Nelly Arcan: irony, black humor, and the resignification of hate speech against women illustrate the author’s critique of gender stereotypes through the romantic relationship. The last chapter, devoted to Mãn by Kim Thúy, discusses migrant literature and intertextuality in order to underline the importance of mutual recognition in the heterosexual relationships.

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.
