Description et objectifs:
L'objectif de ce cours est de fournir à l'étudiant ou l'étudiante une connaissance des
grands classiques du roman québécois entre 1930 et 2000 environ. Notre cours couvrira
la période allant de la deuxième guerre mondiale à la révolution tranquille et aux
référendums de 1980 et de 1995 sur l'indépendance du Québec. Nous étudierons le
contexte social, la construction des personnages et les techniques narratives utilisées par
les différents auteurs. Comme pour tous les cours de littérature, une part de l'évaluation
portera sur l'utilisation d'un français correct.

Academic Integrity: In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the
University of Waterloo are expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness, respect and
responsibility.
Discipline: A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity, to avoid
committing academic offences, and to take responsibility for his/her actions. A student who is
unsure whether an action constitutes an offence, or who needs help in learning how to avoid
offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about “rules” for group work/collaboration should seek
guidance from the course professor, academic advisor, or the Undergraduate Associate Dean.
When misconduct has been found to have occurred, disciplinary penalties will be imposed under
Policy 71 – Student Discipline. For information on categories of offenses and types of penalties,
students should refer to Policy 71 - Student Discipline, http://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policiesprocedures-guidelines/policy-71.

has been unfair or unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70 Student Petitions and Grievances, Section 4, http://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policiesproceduresguidelines/policy-70. In addition, consult http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/student-grievancesfaculty-artsprocesses for the Faculty of Arts’ grievance processes.
Appeals: A student may appeal the finding and/or penalty in a decision made under Policy 70 Student
Petitions and Grievances (other than regarding a petition) or Policy 71 - Student Discipline if a
ground for an appeal can be established. Read Policy 72 - Student Appeals,
