Jack Kerouac’s French, American, and Quebecois Receptions: From Deterritorialization to Reterritorialization

Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, the most famous French readers of Jack Kerouac, used his works to theorize their key concept of deterritorialization. Québécois readers, on the other hand, pursued the reterritorialization of Kerouac by reframing his writing as embodying the linguistic and cultural tensions experienced by the French Canadian diaspora. While both of these Francophone readings capture important aspects of Kerouac’s oeuvre, this article argues that critics interested in the complexity of Kerouac’s linguistic and cultural identity as a writer would benefit from following Deleuze and Guattari’s rationale to the end, by recognizing the moments of reterritorialization in Kerouac’s works as an intrinsic part of the larger process of deterritorialization that his oeuvre has come to represent

Posttraumatic Growth Following Pregnancy Loss

Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is positive psychological change that can result from the struggle with trauma or other highly stressful events (Calhoun & Tedeschi, 1999; Calhoun et al., 2010). The aim of this study was to capture the rich narratives of individuals who have experienced pregnancy loss and reported PTG. The narratives of ten participants were investigated to better understand what areas of posttraumatic growth they experienced following this often-devastating loss, as well as the processes that led to this growth. Participants of this study reported experiencing growth in the domains of (a) Relating to Others, (b) Personal Strength, (c) New Possibilities, (d) Appreciation of Life, (e) Spiritual Change, and (f) Altruistic Expansion. The findings of this study support the existing literature on posttraumatic growth, suggest future directions for research, offer recommendations for behavioral health and medical practitioners, and provide insight into the experience of growth following pregnancy loss. This study outlines strategies that may help facilitate this growth. It is my hope that this study will be a resource for those grieving the loss of a pregnancy, as well as a resource their friends, family, and professionals who wish to provide support through this process.
