Abstract: This collection of essays examines how the sense of crisis that occasionally seems to overwhelm us directs and transforms "Canadian and Quebec writings in English and French", and conversely, how literature and criticism set out to counterbalance the social, economic, and ideological insecurities we live in. The authors and filmmakers this collection of essays examines: Nelly Arcan, Margaret Atwood, Gérard Bouchard, Michel Marc Bouchard, Dionne Brand, Mario Brassard, Nicole Brossard, Jean-François Caron, Simone Chaput, Xavier Dolan, Louise Dupré, Anne Émond, Abla Farhoud, Monique LaRue, Carl Leblanc, Catherine Mavrikakis, Wajdi Mouawad, Jacques Poulin, Alfonso Quijada Urías, Nela Rio, Chloé Robichaud, Carmen Rodríguez, Jocelyne Saucier, Larry Tremblay and others.
