L'école du racisme : La construction de l’altérité à l’école québécoise ( 1830-1915)
|
Abstract |
The author notes that as a tool for socialization, school is both a window on the world and a place of learning - including stereotypes and prejudices. She argues that schools in Quebec, both Francophone and Anglophone, have, from their inception and for decades, taught and endorsed colonial domination and racism. She sheds light on how figures of the Other have been constructed through a variety of discourses, according to different cultural or bodily characteristics, and how they have occupied various functions in the formation of the collective identity of the white, civilized Quebec student. The author shows how otherness constructed, staged, and narrated by the Quebec school institution in the 19th century was a privileged pedagogical tool. In addition to examining the narrative field of make believe and the imposed discourse of representation, she analyses the contours of the appropriation of figures of otherness by Quebec students; what conceptions of the Other was produced by what ideologies; and what recreational and pedagogical functions were fulfilled.
