| Résumé : |
The present dissertation examines the themes of survival and victimization as part of a
Canadian identity in Margaret Atwood’s novel Surfacing. To achieve the aim of the study,
some concepts from postcolonial and feminist theories are employed to analyze the novel. But
the whole analysis is mainly based on Atwood’s victim theory as explained in her book
Survival. This paper sheds light on the question of identity in Canada and its association with
the notions of victimization and survival. The characters of Surfacing, and mainly the
protagonist, are victimized in different ways. Female characters are the victims of a
patriarchal society, and Canadians and Canada as a whole, are the victims of Americanization.
The paper also explores the way each victimized character accepts or rejects his/her victim
role in order to survive. The emphasis is on the way the unnamed narrator overcomes the
borders she constantly establishes and the transformation she undergoes in nature or “liminal
space”. |
