MOBILE BORDERS IN CONTEMPORARY FRANCOPHONE CANADIAN LITERATURE
MOBILE BORDERS IN CONTEMPORARY FRANCOPHONE CANADIAN LITERATURE

Summary/Abstract: This article explores how contemporary Québécois and Francophone Canadian writers think about the return to a homeland linked to identity transformation, border crossing, and mobility. Drawing from the theories of the mobility turn and using Rosi Braidotti’s notion of “nomadism,” I show how this return (physical or imaginary) generates both conflict and resilience. My hypothesis is that analyzing a fictional text through the lens of mobility allows for new approaches to identity formation and contributes to renewing literary forms.
