Identity and Alterity in Quebec Novel
Abstract
As a « relational concept », alterity can only be defined in opposition to
what sociologists call a « referential group », an entity which dictates
political, religious or cultural norms in a concrete society. Our article will
first explain the difference between simple « diversity » and real « alterity »,
which is perceived as a potential source of threat by the majority society.
Using concrete figures from 19th and 20th century Quebec novels, we will
illustrate various types of alterity and the general evolution of Canadian
mentality in relation to various minorities.
