  • 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.

C’est un privilège pour nous de contribuer à son succès. Bonne soirée! 90-2144-0007-ProgSAG.indd 2 12-10-05 1:21 PM Mot de la DirEcTiON ArTisTiQUE 40 ans après sa création, les mots de la Sagouine résonnent-ils toujours autant? L’œuvre unique d’Antonine Maillet, tout en verve et en poésie, a d’engagement traversé les époques sans perdre de sa pertinence. Depuis ses premiers pas sur la scène du Théâtre du Rideau Vert en octobre 1972, la Sagouine a fait bien du chemin. Avec son langage coloré, elle a su conquérir les spectateurs de plusieurs générations, d’ici et d’ailleurs. Elle est entrée dans l’histoire en devenant le visage et la voix du peuple acadien. Une célébration s’imposait pour souligner cet anniversaire marquant, non seulement pour le Théâtre du Rideau Vert, mais aussi pour la dramaturgie canadienne. Il nous fait donc plaisir d’accueillir Viola Léger, celle qui, depuis le tout début, a su porter à bout de bras ce personnage presque légendaire.

  • The Fundy and Acadian Coasts
    Canada’s New Brunswick: The Fundy and Acadian Coasts Canada’s New Brunswick Slide Show – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster “My grandfather used to spread lobsters on the fields as fertilizer,” says Percy Mallet, a French descendant in Canada’s Atlantic province of New Brunswick. “Schoolboys of his era would hide the fact that they had lobster sandwiches in their school lunches. Lobster was a poor man’s food. Cod was a fish you could salt and dry and export, but lobsters were worth little. There was no refrigeration and transportation technology to market lobsters. Lobsters were almost worthless.” How times have changed in Canada’s Atlantic province of New Brunswick. Today the lobster and snow crab fisheries produce and export record catches. A visitor here during the busy summer season, mid-May to mid-September, will be tempted to indulge at the source in lobster, snow crab, oysters, mussels, clams, salmon, cod, halibut, and trout. Two compelling attractions atract visitors to New Brunswick. First, there is the joy of nature, especially the highest tides in the world along the Fundy Coast at the Hopewell Rocks, where the tidal change is 48 feet. A nearby drive, the Fundy Trail Parkway, shows the car traveler, bicyclist, or hiker some of the most dramatic coastal terrain you will find anywhere on the planet. Second, the area boasts a dramatic and forlorn history found nowhere else. The story involves Loyalist British who could not tolerate life in the American colonies after Independence from Britain was declared. They migrated north to St.
