Chronotopes of the Quebec children's novel

This study applies the Bakhtinian concept of "chronotope" (unit of time and space) to a homogenous publishing corpus, the "Roman Plus" collection of n ovels for teenagers published by La courte echelle. Significantly, most of the stories that move away from the dominant chronotope (i.e., generally sp eaking, the school year in an urban environment) shape certain features: gr eater importance given to the existential aspect of time and a more complex narrative and enunciation.
