Abstrakt(y)
The paper deals with Alice Munro's stories "A Wildemess Station" and "A Queer Streak". The common feature of the stories is that they are both novelistic and dramatic in nature. In the novelistic sense the plots of the stories use the method of central intelligence, while focusing on the themes of alienation, isolation, search for identity and integration. In the dramatic sense, they are based on epiphany as an ordering device and on metaphoric plots. Central metaphors in these stories are rooted in secrecy and silence. They ultimately concern women's secret strategies of loving.
Le texte traite de deux histoires d'Alice Munro "La ligne étrange" et "La station dans le région sauvage". Les nouvelles en cause sont caractérisées étant d'une nature en même temps romanesques et dramatique. Dans le sens romanesque, les intrigues des histoires font l'usage d'une méthode d'intelligence centrale, tout en posant l'accent sur les thèmes d'aliénation, d'isolement, de la recherche d'identité et d'intégration. Dans le sens dramatique, elles sont basées sur l'épiphanie, ainsi que sur les intrigues métaphoriques. Les métaphores centrales dans ces histoires sont enracinées dans le secret et le silence, ayant à faire avec les stratégies secrètes des femmes dans les affaires du cæur.
