Title |
La culture, les communications et l’identité dans la question du Québec
|
Abstract |
The author analyzes the socio-historical-political stakes of the post-1995 referendum context in Quebec by discussing how and why it marks a rupture between past history and history to be made. After noting that the construction and reproduction of identity and sense of belonging to a collectivity are non-linear and non-irreversible historical phenomena, the author points out that the specificity of Francophone Québécois culture and the nationalist ideology of Québécois Francophones are reciprocally constitutive and have been mutually reenforcing throughout history. He then continues by showing how Québécois Francophone culture has played a strategic role in the fragmentation of Canada. He then claims that his analysis reveals that this fragmentation trend is not without its counter-trends, and that Quebec civil society itself is subject to strong "dualizing" pressures largely attributable to the refusal of Anglophone and Allophone minorities to participate in the collective subject constitutive of the much larger majority Québécois Francophone collectivity.
