| Title |
Habiter Gatineau depuis la marge minoritaire : frontière et citoyenneté
|
| Abstract |
The authors explore citizenship and identity through the experiences of the English-language minority of Gatineau, Quebec's fourth largest city. The position of this minority population is unique because while residing in Quebec, it is in proximity geographically and culturally to Ottawa, Ontario, the capital of Canada, where an English-speaking majority resides. The authors analyze the particular ways of "living" in space among the Anglophone minority of Gatineau and its claims to citizenship by reflecting on the effects of the border on its daily space between Gatineau and Ottawa. Its unique trans-border experience reveals an unusual form of citizenship which the authors call "affinity" citizenship. It is ethnically exclusive in that its affinity is limited to the Anglophone collectivity; nevertheless, it is geographically flexible insofar as it encompasses different spatial scales: between the neighborhood and its local community, and the broader space of the city lying on both side of the border.
