    Maine-New Brunswick Cultural Initiative Task Force Phase 5 Report 2017-2018 Darren Emenau Prepared by the Department of Tourism, Heritage & Culture [email protected] 1 CONTENTS ❖ Introduction ❖ Projects and Events o 2017 o 2018 ❖ Overview Document ❖ Conclusion 2 Introduction Phase Report This Phase Report was developed by the New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture in collaboration with the members of the Maine-New Brunswick Cultural Task Force to highlight initiatives and cross-border collaborative projects over the years of 2017 and 2018. The information included in this report results from the 2010 Memorandum of Understanding between the State of Maine and the Province of New Brunswick. This report is intended to elaborate on important initiatives and partnership events undertaken by the members of the Maine-New Brunswick Cultural Initiative that reflect the continued meaningful collaborative relationship between artists, organization leaders, communities, and cultural stakeholders from Maine and New Brunswick.

  • Antonine Maillets La Sagouine : Interdisziplinäre Begegnungen in Der Akadie Georg A
    Antonine Maillets La Sagouine : Interdisziplinäre Begegnungen in der Akadie Georg A. Kaiser & Florian Freitag 1 (Konstanz/Mainz) 1. Einleitung In diesem Beitrag möchten wir zeigen, dass bestimmte Texte der America Romana an Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaftler besondere Herausforde- rungen stellen und eine Herangehensweise erfordern, die die institutiona- lisierte disziplinäre Trennung zwischen Sprachwissenschaften einerseits und Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften andererseits überwindet. Die Idee für diesen Beitrag entstand durch eine solche Überwindung dieser Trennung in der Lehre, im Rahmen zweier z.T. gemeinsam, z.T. parallel unterrichteter Seminare „Das Französische in Nordamerika“ und „Intro- duction à l’Amérique française“ im Wintersemester 2010/2011 an der Universität Konstanz. In diesen Seminaren erwiesen sich v.a. diejenigen Texte als eine be- sondere Herausforderung (für die Studierenden wie auch für die Lehren- den), die sich durch eine dezidierte Oralität auszeichnen, die also in ver- schiedenen, vom Frankreichfranzösischen teilweise stark abweichenden, dialektalen und soziolektalen Varietäten des nordamerikanischen Franzö- sisch verfasst sind. Dazu zählen z.B. sogenannte romans de la terre aus Québec wie etwa Ringuets Trente arpents (1938), in denen zwar die Erzäh- lerstimme Frankreichfranzösisch, die einzelnen Charaktere in direkter Rede jedoch Québec-Französisch verwenden. Insbesondere zählen hier- zu aber Werke des mundartlichen Theaters Frankokanadas wie etwa Mi- chel Tremblays im Montréaler Arbeiterdialekt joual verfasster Skandaler- folg Les belles-sœurs (1968) sowie das nur drei Jahre später veröffentlichte und im akadischen Französisch verfasste La Sagouine der aus New Brunswick stammenden Autorin Antonine Maillet, auf das wir uns im Folgenden konzentrieren möchten. 1 Die Autoren bedanken sich bei Stefano Quaglia, Sandra Tinner und Michael Zimmermann für hilfreiche Kommentare.

A Tale of Acadia.? At the time, Longfellow was still a professor of modern languages at Harvard, and he was not yet recognized as one of the most talented American poets of his time. :e success of his poem EvangelineO was about to facilitate that recognition while giving birth to a new iconic American literary and cultural ;gure. Soon after the ;rst text- only publication, the poem was edited again and illustrated with various engravings from more or less famous artists of the time such as :omas and James Faed. In a few years, the poem became a best seller, carried along by the wave of Romantic nationalism and the Manifest Destiny rhetoric that had been developed in the early 1840s and that shaped the ante-bellum national discourses in the United States. Although the genetic process of creating a North American icon ;rst began in New England, the Evangeline ;gure gained legitimacy and complexity when it reached a wider North American and European readership.

Author: Birgitta Brown Language: English Department: English Department, University of Gothenburg, Box 200, SE-405 30 Gothenburg Anglo-French relations have had a significant influence on the fiction created in Canada’s Maritime Provinces. The 18th century was a period of colonial wars. Contacts between the English and French in Canada were established and de- termined by the hostilities between the two colonizing nations, France and Great Britain. The hostilities passed on a sense of difference between the two nations through situations of othering. Contacts, however, always generate transcultural processes which transcend or mediate cultural difference. Othering and transculturation are closely interdependent phenomena acting in conjunc- tion. They work in processes manifesting themselves in so-called contact zones both during the colonial era and in a postcolonial context. This study investi- gates how processes of othering and transculturation are explored and dis- cussed in a number of Maritime novels, Anglophone and Acadian, published in different decades of the 20th century, in order to account for a broad perspec- tive of the interdependency of othering and transculturation.

  • Island-Wide Celebrations for National Acadian Day 2016 to Take Place August 12Th-15Th Weekend; Souris to Host
    Press Release For Immediate Publication Island-wide Celebrations for National Acadian Day 2016 to take Place August 12th-15th Weekend; Souris to Host SUMMERSIDE (P.E.I.) – Friday, August 8th, 2016 – The president of la Société Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin (SSTA), Guy Labonté, invites one and all to join the Acadian and francophone community of P.E.I. in celebrating National Acadian Day activities which will take place all across the Island on the weekend of August 12th-15th. The SSTA wishes a wonderful National Acadian Day to all! In 1881, at the first Convention of the Acadians, it was decided that August 15th would thereafter be observed as National Acadian Day. This day was chosen for many reasons, namely because as a distinct people, Acadians deserve to have a day of recognition; the later summer date does not conflict with seed-sowing commitments; and it coincides with the Assumption of Mary, patron saint of Acadians. Souris, this year’s host Region – provincial celebrations – Saturday, August 13th to Sunday, August 14th : La Société Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin, in collaboration with le Comité Acadien et Francophone de l'Est, invites the public to a number of free activities in the name of National Acadian Day and le Festival Acadien from August 13th to 14th. Saturday, August 13th, there will be a traditional Kitchen Party from 6 to 9 p.m. Cover is $5 per person and includes access to concerts featuring Island musicians Anastasia DesRoches, Mylène Ouellette, JJ Chaisson & Les étoiles de l'Est. There will also be traditional Acadian dishes such as fricot (Acadian chicken soup) and an Acadian roll.
