项目摘要

The proposed research has a thematic strand (1) and a methods strand (2), as outlined below:1) It looks at representations of Quebec's 'regions'--spaces and places outside Montreal--in post-1960 fiction in French and English. From the period of modern day nationalist assertion popularly dated as beginning in 1960 until around 10 years ago, 'hors-Montreal' (rest of Quebec, or ROQ) was marginalised in terms of literary production and criticism, as well as cultural and political debates. What became known as Quebec's Quiet Revolution sought to effect a break with the past, rejecting a pan-Canadian cultural nationalism in favour of a territorial nationalism which cast Quebec as the sole francophone 'home' within Canada. Symbol of a new, modern Quebec nation, Montreal increasingly became the preferred setting for fiction (Nepveu and Marcotte 1992, 7) and literary criticism. With the exception of a small handful of works (e.g. Laforest 2016, 2010; Sing 1995; Warwick 1968), analyses of literary representations of spaces and places outside of Quebec's main city were relegated to the occasional book chapter. Since 2000, however, 'hors-Montreal' has attracted renewed public interest with respect to politics and culture. In literature, Montreal is being displaced as authors increasingly opt to set their novels in smaller cities, villages, rural and 'wilderness' spaces (Archibald 2012, 17). Whilst this is particularly true of French-language authors, some English-language fiction on and of 'the regions' exists (e.g. Penny, Keightley). Looking beyond the discipline of Quebec Studies, the project considers trends in 'new regional writing' in the UK and North America (e.g. New Writing North). It also explores wider questions around the relationships between the urban and non-urban, the city and 'regions'. Writing in 1973, Raymond Williams argued that the boundaries between the country and the city were not clear-cut (1975 (1973): 1). Debates within rural geography (Cloke 2006, Edensor 2006) highlight the ways in which such boundaries are increasingly blurred, partly due to globalisation. 'The regions' have, of course, asserted themselves in recent years in other places besides Quebec, notably in the UK referendum on membership of the European Union (2016) and the U.S presidential elections (2016). 2) The project aims to draw on, and develop further 'walking studies' (Lorimer 2011, Morgan 2016) methods and methodologies on which I have been working since 2014, and which belong to the subdiscipline of Geohumanities. Broadly conceived, Geohumanities brings together spatial concerns in Humanities and Social Sciences. Creativity is often used to facilitate exchange and participation (see, e.g. Cresswell 2015: 7). 'Heartlands/pays du coeur' draws on methods from literary geographies, geopoetics, psychogeography and other walking, writing and creative practices, combining these with methods from oral history and geography. It will produce and co-produce a variety of knowledge forms. These include academic outputs such as a journal article and conference papers, and non-academic outputs like creative writing texts (where 'writing' encompasses a variety of practices, not all of them word-based), readings, a dance, a digital map and an audio-walk. In terms of future legacies, the project will serve as preparation for leading an inter- and multi- disciplinary project on walking (defined as a range of practices, some of which are bipedal), well-being and regions.

拟议的研究有一个主题链（1）和方法链（2），概述如下：1）它着眼于魁北克的“地区”的代表性-空间和蒙特利尔以外的地方-在1960年后的法语和英语小说。从1960年开始的现代民族主义主张到大约10年前，“霍斯-蒙特利尔”（魁北克的其他地区，或ROQ）在文学创作和批评以及文化和政治辩论方面被边缘化。后来被称为魁北克的安静革命试图与过去决裂，拒绝泛加拿大的文化民族主义，支持领土民族主义，将魁北克视为加拿大唯一的法语“家园”。作为一个新的现代魁北克国家的象征，蒙特利尔逐渐成为小说（Nepveu and Marcotte，1992，7）和文学批评的首选地点。除了少数作品（例如Laforest 2016，2010; Sing 1995;沃里克1968），对魁北克主要城市以外的空间和地方的文学表现的分析被降级到偶尔的书章节。然而，自2000年以来，“hors-Montreal”在政治和文化方面重新吸引了公众的兴趣。在文学方面，蒙特利尔正在被取代，因为作者越来越多地选择将他们的小说设置在较小的城市，村庄，农村和“荒野”空间（Archibald 2012，17）。虽然这是特别真实的法语作家，一些英语小说和“地区”的存在（如彭妮，凯特利）。超越魁北克研究的学科，该项目认为在“新的区域写作”在英国和北美的趋势（如新写作北）。它还探讨了城市和非城市，城市和“地区”之间的关系更广泛的问题。雷蒙德·威廉姆斯（Raymond Williams）在1973年写道，乡村和城市之间的界限并不明确（1975（1973）：1）。乡村地理学的争论（Cloke 2006，Edensor 2006）强调了这种边界越来越模糊的方式，部分原因是全球化。当然，近年来，除了魁北克，“地区”在其他地方也发挥了作用，特别是在英国加入欧盟的公投（2016年）和美国总统选举（2016年）中。2)该项目旨在借鉴和发展进一步的“行走研究”（Lorimer 2011，Morgan 2016）方法和方法，我自2014年以来一直在研究这些方法和方法，这些方法和方法属于地理人文学科的子学科。广义上，地理人文汇集了人文和社会科学的空间问题。创造力通常被用来促进交流和参与（例如，见克雷斯韦尔2015：7）。《心之地/心之地》借鉴了文学地理学、地理诗学、心理地理学和其他步行、写作和创作实践的方法，并将这些方法与口述历史和地理学相结合。它将产生和共同产生各种知识形式。这些包括学术产出，如期刊文章和会议论文，以及非学术产出，如创意写作文本（其中“写作”包括各种实践，而不是所有的文字），阅读，舞蹈，数字地图和音频步行。就未来的遗产而言，该项目将为领导一个关于步行（定义为一系列实践，其中一些是双足的）、福祉和地区的跨学科和多学科项目做准备。
