Description:
This study examines the conceptualization and implications of the world-upside-down topos and related themes throughout the literary corpus of Antonine Maillet. It should be noted that this is the first critical study to examine all of her works from Pointe-aux-Coques (1958) to Le Chemin Saint-Jacques (1996). Even though manifestations of the world-upside-down topos are present in different periods and places of world literature and art and without ignoring the fact that each writer calls upon, this topos allows for the reestablishment of the social equilibrium in a world where otherwise reigns a system of forces opposed to our ideal conception of reality.
