Seminar
WiSe 17/18: Minorities vs Majorities: Identity Conflicts and Power Relationships Between Canadian National Groups
Jean Remi Carbonneau
Comments
As one of the most important immigration countries Canada is renowned for its successful and well established multicultural policies. However, the Canadian cultural mosaic is a lot more complex and conflictual then it seems. Beyond its immigrant communities, Canada is home to several historically established national groups making up the bulk of its multicultural heritage and diversity: whether they be a French speaking Québec replicating the Canadian citizenship regime on a smaller scale to resist English hegemony; Francophones outside Québec and Anglophones within it, both striving for community institutions and non-territorial autonomy; or the First Nations struggling for historical redress, cultural recognition and self-rule on their ancestral lands. The first part of the seminar will discuss relevant theory on nationhood and identity conflicts. The remaining classes will be devoted to analysing power relationships between these national groups within and beyond the Canadian constitutional framework. close
