Abstract(s)
La difficulté de définir la nation canadienne s'explique-t-elle par un contexte sociopolitique particulier ou par les inconvénients du terme en soi? Où en est le Canada sur la voie du natiónalisme vers le post-nationalisme? Un bref passage en revue des acquis en théorie de la nation, double d'un parallèle entre le Canada et‚ d'autres pays se trouvant en quête d'une identité, établit les repères d'analyse du roman The Diviners, afin de répondre à ces questions et de préciser les contours de la "communauté imaginée" tracés par la fiction.
Why is it difficult to define Canadian nation? Because of a specific socio-political context or because of the inconveniences of the concept itself? The different points of view coming from political theory and the parallel that can be drawn between Canada and other countries searching for an identity establish the landmarks for a textual analysis of Margaret Laurence's The Diviners, in order to outline the contribution of fiction in constructing an "imagined community".
