A literatura contemporânea é caracterizada por uma variedade de representações da identidade pessoal. Desde os anos 1960, a presença do sujeito narrativo no discurso literário é ubíqua. Neste artigo, discuto três modelos subjacentes à representação dos personagens ficcionais na ficção do Quebec: pós-modernismo, literatura imigrante e cultura transnacional. O princípio norteador da análise é que o sujeito literário é fortemente condicionado por mudanças sociológicas e epistemológicas. Dizer “Eu” na literatura contemporânea é expressar a multiplicidade do sujeito pós-moderno, a angústia da voz imigrante e a emancipação do personagem ficcional transnacional.

The subject in motion: postmodern, migrant and transnational
Abstract: Contemporary literature is characterized by the variety of representations of personal identity. Since the 1960's, the presence of the narrative subject in literary discourse is ubiquitous. In my article, I discuss three models that underlie the representation of fictional characters in Quebec fiction: postmodernism, immigrant literature and transnational literature. The principle guiding my analysis is that the literary subject is strongly determined by sociological and epistemological changes. To say “I” in contemporary literature is to express the multiplicity of the postmodern subject, the angst of the immigrant voice and the emancipation of the transnational fictional character.
