Abstract:In the year when Canadians celebrate 150 years of confederation, we recognise the frequent absence of cultural minorities from national commemorative events, such as the Acadians. However, minority commemorative events serve as a strong factor in helping maintain ideologies, as imposed on the minority's general population by their cultural elite. In addition to a synthesis of ideological evidence in Acadian commemorative events, the current project addresses the importance of ethnographic work in the study of ideology of small 'nations'. Drawing upon a series of open-ended interviews, a collection known as the 2004 ArtcaDIT corpus collected by Le Musée acadien du Québec, this article details the results of a short content analysis of transcribed oral testimonies by New Brunswick Acadians who reflect on the impact and purpose of the 2004 Acadian Quadricentennial Celebration. While the data set is small, patterns suggest that views among New Brunswick Acadians of 2004 do in fact corroborate the Acadian national ideology imposed by the Acadian elite who have sought cultural minority protection of l'Acadie moderne through linguistic rights and duality. However, these results are not exclusive, as a number of testimonies also suggest a lingering adherence to traditional Acadian views that emphasises the importance of history and genealogy. Finally, this article demonstrates again the presence of the Acadian 'dilemma' which could be alleviated by further studying ideologies within other Acadian regions.
摘要:在加拿大人庆祝联邦150周年的这一年，我们意识到经常没有文化少数民族参加国家纪念活动，比如阿卡迪亚人。然而，少数民族纪念活动是帮助维持意识形态的一个重要因素，这些意识形态是少数民族文化精英强加给普通民众的。除了综合阿卡迪亚纪念活动中的意识形态证据外，当前的项目还强调了民族志工作在研究小“国家”意识形态方面的重要性。本文根据一系列开放式访谈，即由Le musemacdien du quacimbec收集的2004年ArtcaDIT语料集，详细介绍了对新不伦瑞克省阿卡迪亚人口头证词的简短内容分析结果，这些口头证词反映了2004年阿卡迪亚四百周年庆典的影响和目的。虽然数据集很小，但模式表明，2004年新不伦瑞克省阿卡迪亚人的观点确实证实了阿卡迪亚精英强加的阿卡迪亚民族意识形态，阿卡迪亚精英通过语言权利和二元性寻求对阿卡迪亚现代文化的少数民族保护。然而，这些结果并不是唯一的，因为许多证据也表明，阿卡迪亚人仍然坚持传统的观点，强调历史和家谱的重要性。最后，本文再次证明了阿卡迪亚“困境”的存在，这可以通过进一步研究其他阿卡迪亚地区的意识形态来缓解。

Abstract:This article discusses how the desire to maintain the connection to the 'mother country' contributed to the outcome of the movements for and against Confederation in Nova Scotia. In the 1860s, no opinion polls were conducted, but newspapers were the major arena of distributing news and expressing views. They offer an important insight into the opinions of Nova Scotians towards Confederation during the critical time when they bitterly debated about remaining or leaving the Dominion of Canada. Moreover, they illustrate views about the risk of breaking their affiliation with the 'mother country' in order to achieve the repeal of their admission into the Dominion of Canada.

Abstract:The work of Icelandic-Canadian writer Kristjana Gunnars crosses genres and confuses the boundaries between fiction, poetry, biography, essay, and theory. This article addresses her relationship to the French literary theorist Roland Barthes. By paying close attention to the texts which mention Barthes specifically, the poem-cycle Carnival of Longing (1989) and the memoir Zero Hour (1991), it is possible to examine the approaches to desire, grief, and writing that give both Gunnars’s and Barthes’s work their enduring relevance. Gunnars reads Barthes against the grain, seeing the fragmentary strategy of A Lover’s Discourse (1979) as a refusal of genre and taking Writing Degree Zero’s (1968) revolutionary strategy of ‘colourless writing’ as a strategy for dealing with grief. An examination of her citations of and allusions to Barthes will show us how Gunnars interprets and remakes theory into poetry.Abstract:L’œuvre de l’écrivaine islando-canadienne englobe les genres et confond les frontières entre roman, poésie, biographie, essai et théorie.

Gunnars lit contre Barthes voyant la stratégie fragmentaire de Fragments d’un discours amoureux (1977) comme le refus d’un genre et prenant la stratégie révolutionnaire de l’écriture blanche exprimée dans Le Degré zéro de l’écriture (1953) comme une stratégie pour surmonter le chagrin.

Abstract:This article argues that Margaret Laurence’s writings about Somalia and Ghana offer a critical yet ideologically loaded conception of development, modernity, and affiliation. It contends that these writings anticipate Anthony Smith’s recognition of the way ethnic identities predate and underpin conceptions of the nation; in so doing, Laurence’s work challenges theorisations of nationalism such as those of Benedict Anderson. At the same time, Laurence’s writings employ a type of Eurocentrism in that they formulate an antimodernism that conceives of African cultures as having the potential to revitalise the West not by being immemorially pre-modern, but rather by existing at an earlier, pre-national phase in a Western model of social development. Her African writings both use and subvert a progress narrative in which Western experiences of modernisation are universal; accordingly, they highlight a shortcoming that is common to theorists such as Anderson and others whose more nuanced theorisations Laurence anticipates.Abstract:Cet article fait valoir que les écrits de Margaret Laurence sur la Somalie et le Ghana présentent une conception critique du développement, de la modernité et de l’affiliation bien que chargés idéologiquement.

Abstract:Stephen Leacock (1869–1944), the best-known Canadian humourist of the early twentieth century, turned his pen to the support of the British Empire’s cause during the course of the First World War. Through a series of public lectures given to raise funds for Belgian relief, a widely distributed pamphlet urging the reorganisation of Canada’s national economy, and dozens of humorous short works collected in volumes between 1915 and 1919, Leacock embraced the period’s propagandistic spirit while subverting many propagandistic tropes. In works ostensibly intended to shore up home-front morale and encourage civilians to contribute to the war effort, Leacock gently mocks those same civilians’ pretensions when it comes to their ‘involvement’ in the war. Politicians and businessmen, farmers and aristocrats, allies and enemies alike – all are skewered, with the ultimate lesson being that their greatest contribution to the war effort might just be their humility.Abstract:Stephen Leacock (1869–1944), l’humoriste canadien le plus célèbre du début du vingtième siècle, mit sa plume au service de la cause de l’Empire britannique durant la Première Guerre mondiale.

Dans des ouvrages apparemment destinées à consolider le moral de l’arrière et à encourager les civils à contribuer à l’effort de guerre, Leacock se moque gentiment de ces mêmes prétentions civiles s’agissant de leur investissement personnel au conflit.

Abstract:In An Audience of Chairs (2005), novelist Joan Clark traces the trajectory of madness of Moranna MacKenzie, an intense, complex character who resists the pharmaceuticals associated with the mentally ill. Instead she retreats to the family farmhouse in Baddeck, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where she carves ancestral faces that surface, ghostlike, in the trees on her property.

Relying on discussions of postcolonial ‘hauntology’, this article examines how ancestral figurations, cosmological paradigms, forced migration to the New World during Scotland’s diaspora, and Indigenous displacement/settler expansion in Cape Breton combine to produce the cultural illness and the personal strife that possess – and dispossess – Moranna from without, and from within.Abstract:Dans An Audience of Chairs (2005), la romancière Joan Clark relate le processus de folie de Moranna MacKenzie, personnage intense et complexe qui résiste aux médicaments associés aux malades mentaux.

摘要:在《椅子的听众》(2005)一书中，小说家琼·克拉克追溯了Moranna MacKenzie的疯狂轨迹，她是一个强烈而复杂的角色，对精神病患者的药物产生了抗药性。相反，她回到了新斯科舍省布雷顿角巴德德克的家族农舍，在那里，她把祖先的脸雕刻在她财产的树上，像幽灵一样浮现出来。这种劳动可以缓解“疯狂的记忆”，她把自己的民间艺术卖给夏季游客。根据Ian McKay的《The Quest of The Folk》(1994)，这种类型的工艺是一种治疗方法，可以在“病态”的现代自由秩序中支撑不安的心灵。本文通过对后殖民时期“鬼影学”的讨论，探讨了祖先形象、宇宙学范式、苏格兰散居期间被迫迁移到新大陆，以及布雷顿角的土著流离失所/定居者扩张，这些因素如何结合在一起，产生了文化疾病和个人冲突，这些疾病和冲突从外部和内部占据了Moranna，也剥夺了Moranna。摘要:《椅子的听众》(2005)，《浪漫主义》作者琼·克拉克讲述了莫兰娜·麦肯齐的生活过程，一个人物的紧张而复杂的过程，一个人的与的关系，一个人的与的关系。Au lieu de cela, elle se retire dans la ferme familiale de Baddeck, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, ou elle sculpte des visages。“疯狂的记忆”是一种民俗艺术，也是一种旅游体验。塞隆:《伊安·麦凯的民间探索》(1994)，他的作品是“匠人”，是一种将 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -在这篇文章中，我们讨论了后殖民时期的“社会主义”、“现代主义”、“祖先主义”、“宇宙学范式”、“移民强迫”、“新世界”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“文化疾病强迫”、“冲突强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”、“移民强迫”。

This article discusses how contemporary Asian Canadian literature was established at the end of the 1970s and developed with internal support from the members of the Japanese Canadian and Chinese Canadian communities in particular. I argue that the Asian Canadian literary enterprise was created and supported by communal efforts, and especially by the publication of magazines and anthologies. Communal grassroots magazines were efficient in mobilising Asian Canadian activism in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. They also provided space for writers to explore various methods and aspects of self-expression and thus shaped a distinctive Asian Canadian consciousness. At the same time, they faced practical challenges which can be directly related to the political and cultural climate of late twentieth-century Canada. Anthologies not only announced the birth of contemporary Asian Canadian literature but also recorded and celebrated its various stages of development. Abstract: Dans cet article, il sera question de la maniere dont la litterature canadienne d’origine asiatique fut etablie a la fin des annees 1970 et comment elle s’est developpee avec le soutien des membres des communautes canadiennes d’origine japonaises et chinoises en particulier. Nous soutenons que la societe de litterature canadienne d’origine asiatique fut creee et soutenue par des efforts collectifs et surtout par la publication de magazines et d’anthologies. Les magazines communautaires ont su mobiliser efficacement l’activisme des canadiens d’origine asiatique de la fin des annees 1970 et des annees 1980. Ils ont egalement fourni aux auteurs un espace pour explorer diverses methodes et aspects d’auto-expression et ainsi ont contribue a la formation d’une conscience canadienne d’origine asiatique distincte. En meme temps, ils ont du faire face a des enjeux pratiques qui peuvent etre directement lies au climat politique et culturel du Canada de la fin du vingtieme siecle. Les anthologies ont non seulement annonce la naissance de la litterature canadienne d’origine asiatique contemporaine mais ont aussi consigne et salue les differentes etapes de son developpement.
本文讨论了当代加拿大亚裔文学是如何在20世纪70年代末建立起来的，并在日裔加拿大人和华裔加拿大人社区成员的内部支持下发展起来的。我认为，亚裔加拿大人的文学事业是由共同的努力创造和支持的，特别是通过杂志和选集的出版。在20世纪70年代末和整个80年代，社区草根杂志有效地动员了亚裔加拿大人的行动主义。他们也为作家提供了探索各种自我表达方法和方面的空间，从而形成了独特的亚裔加拿大意识。与此同时，他们面临着与二十世纪晚期加拿大的政治和文化气候直接相关的实际挑战。文集不仅宣告了当代加拿大亚裔文学的诞生，而且记录和庆祝了其发展的各个阶段。文摘:在cet(中央东部东京),血清问题de la方式不拉litterature法裔加拿大女子d’origine还是砰的一声etablie 1970年洛杉矶鳍排等评论elle年代是developpee用soutien des进行des communautes法裔加拿大女子d’origine日本薄纺绸et particulier厨房用漏勺。加拿大文学协会(Nous soutenons que la la society of literature)创立了亚洲文学协会(asatiatique fuque)，并为出版杂志和文集做出了努力。《加拿大人的活动》杂志和《加拿大人的起源》杂志分别于1970年和1980年出版。在不同的空间中探索不同的方法、不同的自我表达和不同的方面，形成一种独特的“加拿大良心”和“原始文化”。在气候变化方面，加拿大的气候、政治和文化的发展方向与本世纪末加拿大的气候、政治和文化有关。《加拿大文学的复兴》、《原汁原味的亚洲当代文学选集》、《非序曲》、《非序曲选集》、《非序曲选集》、《非序曲选集》、《非序曲选集》、《非序曲选集》、《非序曲选集》、《非序曲选集》、《非序曲选集》、《非序曲选集》等。
