Textual Studies in Canada (Book) Death of René Lévesque, The (Theatrical production) Bouchard, Lucien Fennario, David English-speaking Canadians Linguistic minorities Québécois ab: Inspired by Alan Filewod's "Performing Canada: The Nation Enacted in the Imagined Theatre," this essay proposes that Premier Lucien Bouchard's "Address to the Anglophone Community of Quebec" in the wake of the 1995 referendum and the premiere of David Fennario's play, "The Death of René Lévesque," both of which took place at Montreal's Centaur Theatre, were performances of Anglo Quebec and enactments of an Anglo-Québécois subject. The essay questions why the sense of a distinct community and corresponding subject positions have not taken greater hold in the aftermath of these performances, and hypothesizes a competition of narratives between a myth of two solitudes on one side and an emerging Anglo-Québécois subject on the other. In contrast to the tenor of most discussions of "the subject," this essay proposes that an accumulation of subject positions might have the positive consequence of a subject being recognized, accepted, and given a voice. While acknowledging signs of emergence, the essay analyses how a myth of two solitudes continues to erase Anglo-Québécois subjectivity. Inspiré par l'œuvre d'Alan Filewod, «Performing Canada: The Nation Enacted in the Imagined Theatre», le présent article avance que l'allocution du premier ministre Lucien Bouchard devant la communauté anglophone du Québec après le référendum de 1995 et la première représentation de la pièce de théâtre de David Fennario intitulée «La Mort de René Lévesque», les deux événements ayant eu lieu au Théâtre Centaur de Montréal, étaient des performances du Québec anglophone et la mise en scène d'un sujet anglo-québécois. L'article questionne pourquoi le sentiment d'une communauté distincte et les postulats correspondants n'ont pas eu un impact plus grand à la suite de ces événements et il suggère que deux récits se font concurrence : un mythe de deux solitudes d'un côté et des postulats anglo-québécois émergents de l'autre. À rencontre de la teneur de la plupart des discussions sur le sujet, le présent article avance qu'une accumulation de postulats pourrait avoir la conséquence positive de faire reconnaître, accepter et défendre un sujet. Tout en reconnaissant des signes d'émergence, l'article analyse comment un mythe de deux solitudes continue de supprimer la subjectivité anglo-québécoise. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Essay src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Canadian Studies is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
