Abstrakt(y)
The paper discusses Ray Smith's "Cape Breton is the Thought Control Centre of Canada", a short story with a typically postmodernist fragmentary structure, apparently a random motley amalgamation. The perspective used will be that of narratology and of postcolonial studies, referring to the past tradition of British colonialism and the USA's neo-colonialist present practices, to identify postcolonial trauma and fear of a new type of colonization.
Cette étude analyse "Cape Breton is the Thought Control Centre of Canada" ("Le Cap Breton est le centre de contrôle de la pensée du Canada") par Ray Smith, une nouvelle avec une structure fragmentaire typiquement postmoderniste, qui est en apparence un amalgame chamarré arbitraire. La perspective utilisée sera celle de la narratologie et des études postcoloniales, se référant à la tradition passée du colonialisme britannique et aux pratiques néo-colonialistes actuelles des EUA afin d'identifier le trauma et la crainte postcoloniales d'un nouveau type de colonisation.
