| dc.description.abstract | O romance de Highway Kiss of the Fur Queen conta-nos a história de dois irmãos Cree e das suas viagens, físicas e espirituais. A inclusão das duas crianças no sistema de ensino das escolas residenciais canadianas tem um impacto profundamente negativo no desenvolvimento da sua identidade e no modo como, a partir desse momento, se relacionam com a comunidade e cultura aborígenes. Se, por um lado, a abordagem pós-moderna de Harvey contribui para entendermos a dupla identidade das personagens, resultante da experiência na escola residencial, a abordagem pós-moderna de Hutcheon da ficção canadiana permite-nos ler este romance com traços autobiográficos à luz de uma das temáticas que reflectem as ambivalências do Canadá: a dualidade nativo/colonial. Highway’s novel Kiss of the Fur Queen tells us the story of two Cree brothers and their journeys, both physical and spiritual. The inclusion of those two children in the educational system of Canadian residential schools has a strong negative impact in the development of their identity and in the way, from that moment on, they interact with the aboriginal community and culture. If, on one side, Harvey’s postmodern approach contributes to the understanding of the double identity of the characters as a result of the experience in the residential school, Hutcheon’s postmodern approach of Canadian fiction enables us to read this novel with autobiographical traits in the light of one of the themes that reflect the ambivalences in Canada: the duality native/colonial. | por |
