Abstract
Au sein des communautés francophones en situation minoritaire, les spectables à grand déploiement gagnent en popularité comme production médiatique depuis plusieurs années. S’ils mettent en scène des événements historiques fondateurs, ils contribuent également à la schématisation d’une représentation collective du passé qui reconduit les discours constitutifs du nationalisme franco-canadien. Ces spectacles ne font donc pas l’impasse sur les tensions entre les francophones, les anglophones et les peuples autochtones d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. Du reste, cette nouvelle forme de production médiatique s’inscrit dans un processus social relatif aux transformations économiques et politiques et elle propose une vision bien commode de l’identité liée aux exigences d’un marché touristique en pleine effervescence.
Mass production shows have, for several years, gained popularity as a form of media production within minority Francophone communities. While they may portray founding historical events, they also contribute to the schematization of a collective representation of the past which renews the discourses that shape Franco-Canadian nationalism. Thus, these shows do not dismiss the tensions between Francophones, Anglophones and Aboriginal peoples, whether past or present. Nonetheless, this new form of media production falls under a social process related to economic and political change and it offers a quite convenient view of identity as it relates to the demands of an exhilarated tourist market.
