Abstract(s)
The article features Canadian ethnic writers' use of weather images and involves the discussion of some numerical insights as well as the examination of such qualitative markers as image role. It will be demonstrated through the contrastive analysis of the weather images employed in a sample of classic (1945-1979) and contemporary Canadian mainstream and ethnic (1980-2000) short stories that, going hand in hand with literary globalization, multiculturalism is an influential factor forming the fictional weather scene.
L'article s'occupe de l'utilisation des images de temps dans les nouvelles canadiennes multiculturelles. Il présente des résultats numériques ainsi que des observations qualitatives comme le rôle des images. Ceux-ci nous amenent à conclure que, en tandem, le multiculturalisme et la globalisation littéraire sont des facteurs importants quant à la formation de la scène de temps littéraire.
