Uncertain Relations cover

The essays in this volume consider a range of negotiations around francophone identity in Canada (Quebec, Acadia, Ontario, Saskatchewan), in the Caribbean, in Belgium and in Switzerland, and also with regard to Jewishness within European and Canadian francophonie. Their arrangement, starting with the Americas and concluding with Europe, provides a structural foregrounding of the shifting emphasis of the margins/centre debate, which also serves to resituate the more occulted, but no less significant, uncertainties of minority francophone cultures in Europe.
Ce recueil d’essais examine les négociations variées autour de l’identité francophone au Canada (Québec, Acadie, Ontario, Saskatchewan), aux Antilles, en Belgique, en Suisse, et dans l’écriture juive francophone de l’Europe et du Canada. Prenant les Amériques comme point de départ et l’Europe comme point de chute, il met en relief, de par cette organisation, l’accentuation changeante du débat entre les marges et le centre, tout en resituant du même coup les incertitudes plus cachées mais non moins significatives des cultures francophones minoritaires de l’Europe.
