Fonds Lucien Pelletier
CA ON00159 P126 · Fonds · 2004-2005

Composé de l'enregistrement de deux entretiens avec Robert Dickson, d'une transcription de ces entretiens et d'un article à paraître, ce fonds d'archives témoigne de certains aspects des intérêts de recherche de Lucien Pelletier.

En effet, les entretiens avec Robert Dickson, poète, récipiendaire du Prix littéraire du Gouverneur général 2002 en poésie, et professeur de littérature à l’université Laurentienne, ont été réalisés [mai et juillet 2004] dans le but de recueillir l'information nécessaire pour un article sur cet auteur, en abordant la perspective de la culture, et de l'échange culturel. Ainsi, Lucien Pelletier avait un plan d'entrevue pour ces deux entretiens.

Cette entrevue, réalisée en deux rencontres, témoigne du cheminement et du positionnement de Robert Dickson, par rapport à la littérature et à l’expression de la culture canadienne française. Ainsi, le rapport Québec-Ontario français et les courants d’écriture ou d’expression littéraire, sont abordés tout au long de ces entretiens.

Dickson parle de son enfance, de son éducation et des éléments qui ont eu une incidence sur son choix de vivre en français, bien qu'il soit d'une famille anglaise. De ses études à Toronto, puis à l'université Laval, en passant par ses séjours en France, et son arrivée à Sudbury, Dickson se raconte et cerne son cheminement littéraire et professionnel, tout en identifiant les gens et personnages qui ont eu une influence sur son écriture. Tout en discutant de ses écrits dans cette perspective, il parle aussi d’auteurs franco-ontariens tel que : Jean-Marc Dalpé et Patrice Desbiens, et du poète québécois Gaston Miron. Lucien Pelletier s’entretient aussi avec Robert Dickson d’autres aspects de ses activités dans le monde littéraire, tel que l'édition ou encore la traduction.

L'article que l'on retrouve dans ce fonds d'archives est de Lucien Pelletier et sera publié dans un ouvrage collectif sur l'échange culturel. Cet article, pour lequel les entretiens avec Dickson ont été faits et enregistrés est intitulé : « La migration culturelle de Robert Dickson ».

Streamer flies are usually imitators of baitfish minnows, many of which were designed to use the feathers of the African Marabou in successfully substituting dyed Canadian turkey."

CA ON00154 MPH15.1-MPH15.1.6 · Item · 1996
Part of Douglas R. Greer Print Collection

Item is a framed print from the Douglas R. Greer Collection entitled: "The Roe Blue & Roe Purple," 1996. Includes the following caption: The Roe Blue & Roe Purple wet-fly trout patterns are attributed to Bill Monaghan, a fly-tyer on the River Roe at the town of Linavady, Northern Ireland. These attractive designs were originally created as salmon flies using goat hair dyed purple and blue, now superseded by seal hair and smaller hooks. Until the mid-1990s, fly-fishing in North America was generally synonymous with wet-flies. But as fishing flourished, trout became increasingly selective, which spurred the creation of sophisticated nymph patterns emulating the actual stages of underwater life, plus many accurate imitations of emerging adult insects."
