	2001 Proceedings of the RRCWL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Antonine Maillet writes that she wants to put Acadie on the map; she will plot it on the map by plotting it in fiction.
		Maillet addresses the problem of leadership in exile, authoritative movement in a strange land, by relying metaphorically on the biblical story of Moses and the exodus of the chosen people in the Jewish and Christian scriptures.
		Though Maillet and Camus write of exile and political revolt, silence and the politics of speech, and thereby highlight the tension of being or not being chez eux, of being there and not here, their texts do not explicitly engage in a re-examination of the authority of promise.

	'Survivors of the Night': The Language and Politics of Epic in Antonine Maillet's Pélagie-la-charrette (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Pélagie is a history of the Acadian people who returned after deportation and exile to their homeland in Canada – a story of 'the cripples, the aged, the whiners, the loud mouths, the hunted, and the abandoned' (47), 'survivors of the night' (57).
		Antonine Maillet's Pélagie-la-charrette is conspicuously epic in its concerns – the story of the British conquest of French Acadia, the people's deportation in 1755, their years of exile in America, and their return to their homeland.
		In Maillet's narrative, Pélagie's purpose is straightforward: she views as her life's mission the task of uniting the scattered remains of the Acadian people and leading them back to their homeland in Canada.
