Munro demonstrates how the complexities of progress often result in a troubling centralized control that attempts to domesticate wilderness areas, animals, and human bodies. Although Munro portrays both the positive and negative effects of progress, she ultimately argues that despite its claims to efface the past and erect a better future, the shadows of Canada’s wild history will nonetheless abide. Dans The Dance of the Happy Shades (1968), Alice Munro réévalue les notions du progrès du milieu du vingtième siècle, en se penchant sur le processus d’urbanisation qui changera le Canada à jamais. Elle dépeint des idéaux du progrès qui concernent la domestication des zones de nature sauvage, des animaux, et du corps humain. Bien qu’elle présente à la fois les effets positifs et négatifs du progrès, Munro suggère que le « sauvage » demeurera présent, malgré les promesses du progrès qui semblent effacer le passé et créer un meilleur avenir. |
