Vice Versa: Magazine Transculturel/Transcultural Magazine/Rivista Transculturale: Challenging Ethnicity and Language Practices in Quebec
|
| Abstract |
Quebec's struggle between Francophones and Anglophones has deeply affected other immigrant communities' identitarian practices. The author examines how, within Montreal's 1980s and 1990s nationalist environment, some Italian Quebecers worked as a bridge between the two groups through the transcultural magazine Vice Versa. The author presents some findings from a case study that looks at how Vice Versa challenged dominant perceptions of identity and its role in society. She assumes that identity is negotiated between individuals, that language and ethnicity are key factors for social mobility and symbolic power on the marketplace, and that these function through hegemony. The author argues that through its use of untranslated French, English and Italian and its articles' contents, Vice Versa's discourse on transculture undermines the assumption that identity is necessary for social interaction and negotiates new categories that dissolve ethnic boundaries.
