Visions d’Anna de Marie-Claire Blais: un voyage au cœur de l’abjection

Abstract

In the novel Visions d’Anna ou le vertige, by Marie-Claire Blais, the concept of abjection is essential and it highlights the hypocrisy and the complexity that characterizes social and family relationships. This study analyzes the importance of this notion in the portrayal of the characters depicted by Blais, and particularly in the description of those figures that are displaced. It also examines how the concept of abjection conditions and emphasizes the kind of relationship that exists between parents and their offspring.
