Abstract
À l’heure où la mondialisation semble menacer la diversité des cultures, l’auteure s’intéresse à l’évolution des références culturelles des collectivités. Cette évolution repose sur l’action de certains individus qui, par petites touches, modifient le paysage. Peut-on considérer que parmi ces personnes, les « passeurs identitaires », figurent les étudiants qui partent étudier à l’étranger ? Ce texte s’interroge sur le statut de passeur des étudiants du programme international de l’Université Laval. Des entrevues avec plusieurs d’entre eux permettent de définir le concept de passeur de façon nuancée et révèlent une certaine modulation de leurs références culturelles.
In an era where globalization seems to be threatening cultural diversity, the author examines the development of cultural references in communities. This development is based on the actions of certain individuals who change the landscape through small gestures. Are students who leave to study abroad to be considered as included among these “identity vectors”? This paper investigates the vector status of students in the International Program of Université Laval. A clearer definition of the vector concept is built through interviews with a number of these students, revealing a certain modulation of their cultural references.
