Abstract
Cet article propose d’examiner le récit de vie rétrospectif d’une Acadienne qui a participé, dans sa jeunesse, à l’effort de colonisation dans le nord-est du Nouveau-Brunswick au tournant des années 1930. Si l’on retrouve en Acadie un bon nombre d’enregistrements sonores de narration personnelle, cette autobiographie a la particularité d’avoir été écrite, son auteur l’ayant rédigée pour laisser une trace tangible de sa vie à sa famille. Grâce à une approche qui se veut multidisciplinaire, ce texte s’attache aux valeurs et pratiques sociales qui ont balisé la vie de son auteur autant que sa logique interne, qui repose sur un nombre particulier de moments de transitions, organisés selon une chronologie thématique.
This article proposes to examine the retrospective life story of an Acadian who took part, during her youth, in the colonization effort in north-eastern New Brunswick at the turn of the 1930s. Although many sound recordings of personal narratives exist in Acadia, this autobiography has the characteristic of having been written down, the author having done so to create a tangible trace of her life for her family. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this text focuses on the values and social practices that marked the life of its author as well as its internal logic based on a particular number of transitional events that are organized according to a thematic timeline.
