Abstract:

AbstractThis article examines the influence of strategic musical alliances on the formation of a unique regional Acadian cultural identity. The Acadian communities of Prince Edward Island and les Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Québec), located on Canada's east coast, share a tumultuous socio-political history that is traced to le Grand Dérangement, the eighteenth-century deportation of thousands of Acadians from eastern Canada. The geographic location of the islands, their contemporary political affiliations, and divergent cultural retentions suggest distinct experiences of Acadian identity; nonetheless, renewed interest in inter-island partnerships has arisen over the past decade, often along musical lines. These alliances have been fostered largely by a young generation of musicians from the Acadian group, Vishtèn. Through their strategic musical, narrative, and marketing choices, members of Vishtèn have striven vigorously to advance the project of a shared island Acadian identity, while claiming a place in the global “traditional” music market. I conclude that this exchange has fostered an emic perception of a unified francophone Acadian community that has transformed the cultural geography of this region of “Acadia” and contributed to local processes of Acadian cultural revitalization.

Abstract:

The aim of deportation and expulsion of the Acadians during the so-called Grand Dérangement, also known as the Great Upheaval, was to deprive them of their land, which is presented in their history and literature. The idea of space is in this case closely connected with the question of identity in Acadian literature. Not referring directly to the above-mentioned historical events, Garcia Couturier explores in her novelistic diptych the relation between identity and space. Although Couturier’s writing is largely based on categories which characterise Acadian literature, she is able to go beyond them in order to concentrate on individual identity and liberty. She also investigates metaphorical expulsion, which shows her desire for autonomy from tradition and underlines modern aspects of the two novels.The aim of the article is therefore to examine the narrative representation of the space, its symbolic function and its role in shaping both individual and collective identity in Couturier’s novels.

Abstract:

In the light of the extensive dialect leveling found in Francophone Louisiana, the suggestion made in Byers (1988) is a particularly interesting one, that the geographical distribution of qui and quoi, both meaning ‘what’, reflects the differential settlement histories of early 18th century Creoles, and Acadians, respectively. In this article I document these two interrogative patterns as to form and locales of attestation, and I explore the evidence for Byer's claim, showing that a strong case can be made by considering not only settlement history but also the interrogatives of Louisiana Creole, the origins of which arguably predate the arrival of the Acadians in Louisiana.

Abstract:

From 1991 to 2011, the political representation of the Acadian and black populations of Nova Scotia was ensured via four ‘protected ridings’ - electoral districts with population sizes well below median size created for their significant minority presence, a unique initiative that remains little examined in the literature. Through the reports of the electoral boundaries commissions, I examine the models of representation implicit in this system and use them to further the definition of surrogate representation presented by Jane Mansbridge, finding that what emerged was a system of institutionalised surrogate representation, wherein Acadians and African Nova Scotians throughout the province were represented by the representatives of the protected ridings. Beyond providing an overview of the unique Nova Scotian case, this paper also furthers the literature on surrogate representation by demonstrating that surrogate representation can be subdivided into two forms, which I categorise as ‘promissory/anticipatory surrogate representation’ and ‘gyroscopic surrogate representation’.

Abstract:

Abstract This study draws attention to the importance of the early provincial federations of labour as a distinct form of labour organization in early 20th-century Canada. One of the first of these was the New Brunswick Federation of Labour, which attempted to strengthen local bonds of solidarity and represent workers at the level of the provincial state. The Federation originated with and was dominated by male workers in the skilled trades in the largest cities and by 1921 attracted almost 100 delegates from nine population centres, including a small number of women and Acadians. Its agenda included campaigns for the enactment of workers' compensation, the protection of women workers and the election of labour candidates, but a more thoroughgoing Reconstruction Programme (1919) was less successful, especially in the context of regional economic crisis in the 1920s. The study confirms the existence of a progressive movement within provincial society while identifying the limited scope of its ambitions and achievements. This study uses social history methods to explore an institutional narrative and to analyze a distinct chapter in the history of organized labour at the provincial level.

Abstract:

Abstract Since the 1972 National Museums Policy announced its goals of “democratization and decentralization,” national historic sites have been marked by a trend toward regionalization. While scholars have focused on the nationalizing impetus of twentieth-century historiography before 1970, subsequently there have been consistent efforts to incorporate local environmental and cultural diversity into the “family” of national sites. This paper demonstrates this system-wide trend by comparing historic sites in the Bay of Fundy and the Alberta foothills. In both places, designation has evolved from the two-nations narrative of French-English rivalry, in seventeenth-century forts or fur trade posts which could integrate far-flung localities, thereby claiming transcontinental space as national territory. Interpretation now credits local ecological factors with shaping the course of historical events, and acknowledges in situ resources. In addition, Parks Canada has involved groups such as the Acadians or the Blackfoot, whose claims of “homeland” jostle the naturalized Canadian boundaries affirmed by the older national narrative. There are other complications, raised by revisions in public history; notably, these sites continue to play a role in the marketing of place – in a long tradition of using the landscape as an entrée to tourism – and they are not yet conceived in regional groupings.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the role of popular music in articulating socio-cultural identities by examining the contribution of the Acadian group, 1755. As the rapid modernization of Acadians' way of life led to a sense of cultural alienation, cultural products played a prominent role in asserting their cultural specificity. Accordingly, the 1970s were not only rich in artistic production, but also saw the development of a distinctive Acadian popular music practice. Responding to fears of acculturation and folklorization, Acadian popular music embodied Acadians' desire to embrace a modern identity all the while maintaining ties with their traditional identity. 1755's music actively took part in reinventing Acadian identity by constructing a cultural narrative that reflected Acadians' contemporary reality and by renegotiating what was commonly held as "Acadian" music. As a result, it became invested with ideological significance by Acadian consumers, regarded not merely as commercial music but rather as a symbol of their cultural emancipation.

Abstract:

This study examines the social, cultural, and political discontinuities found among Acadians who settled in Louisiana after their deportation from Atlantic Canada in 1755. Historians studying the Acadians' early years of arrival and resettlement in Louisiana have drawn readers' attention to the preservation of Acadian cultural and social attributes. These works tell how in spite of their need to adapt to life in a southern borderland region, the Acadians who arrived in Louisiana retained important qualities of their pre-dispersal identity. Such studies have served well in deconstructing the "Evangeline" myth created through Henry Longfellow's epic poem, yet at the same time they have inadvertently mythologized the preservation of the Acadians' pre-dispersal identity. In contrast, this text examines ways that the Acadian identity changed through their experiences in exile and resettlement in the South. The Acadians' interactions with the government, with Native and African Americans, and among themselves in Louisiana provide evidence that the very foundation of their former identity underwent severe fractures. In studying their new relationships with colonizers as well as other colonized, evidence of the Acadians' willing participation in the colonial military, their fears of Native American tribes, their involvement in slaveholding, and their increased dependence on the government indicate that they experienced critical social, cultural, and political changes as a result of the Grand Derangement. Through their dispersal and their resettlement in the South, the Acadians' quest for survival resulted in a new definition of what it meant to be "Acadian."

Abstract:

Cette these etablit le degre d'alphabetisation des populations acadiennes a Port Royal et Grand Pre pour la premiere moitie du XVIII$\sp{\rm e}$ siecle, a partir des signatures aux actes de mariage dans les registres paroissiaux; elle mesure aussi le meme phenomene pour les Acadiens apres la Deportation dans les paroisses de St-Pierre de Pubnico et de St-Anselme de Chezzetcook en Nouvelle-Ecosse, de St-Antoine de Richibouctou au Nouveau-Brunswick, de St-Jacques de l'Achigan et de L'Acadie au Quebec. Les Acadiens avaient un tres haut degre d'alphabetisation lors de la conquete par l'Angleterre en 1713; sous la domination anglaise, l'art de signer s'est perdu graduellement de sorte qu'en 1755 peu d'Acadiens savaient signer. Apres 1755, les Acadiens regroupes au Canada ne savaient pratiquement pas signer: ceux des Maritimes ne l'ont reappris que tard au XIX$\sp{\rm e}$ siecle sauf ceux de St-Pierre de Pubnico, qui presentent un cas d'exception; ceux du Quebec ont appris au meme rythme que la population quebecoise. L'art de signer ou l'alphabetisation qui disparai t avec la fermeture des ecoles sous la domination anglaise en Acadie est clairement un premier resultat de l'ecole, ecole organisee et supportee au Canada francais tres longtemps par le clerge et les communautes religieuses catholiques.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: J. Christopher Hepburn
The Nashoba terrane is a highly metamorphosed and sheared Paleozoic tectonic block in eastern Massachusetts. The metamorphic rocks that compose the terrane are intruded by a series of diorites, tonalites, and granites. The Andover Granite is a complex multiphase granitic suite found in the northern part of the Nashoba terrane and is composed of both foliated and unfoliated granites as well as a granodiorite phase. The Sgr Group of granites is a series of unfoliated granites exposed along the Nashoba-Avalon terrane boundary. New crystallization ages for the foliated Andover Granite and the Sudbury Granite, southernmost body of the Sgr Group of granites, are presented. CA-TIMS U-Pb geochronology on zircons collected from these granites yielded 419.43 ± 0.52 Ma and 419.65 ± 0.51 Ma crystallization ages for the foliated Andover Granite and a 420.49 ± 0.52 Ma crystallization age for the Sudbury Granite. Geochemical and petrographic analysis of these granites indicate that the foliated Andover Granite is a high-K calc-alkaline, peralmuminous, S-type, biotite + muscovite granite and the Sudbury granite is high-K calc-alkaline, metaluminous to slightly peraluminous, I-type, biotite granite. These two granites are interpreted to have formed from the anatexis of either Nashoba terrane metasedimentary rocks and/or its underlying basement just prior to the Acadian orogeny. It is proposed that when Silurian diorite/tonalite magmas intruded into the Nashoba terrane, the influx of magmatic heat was sufficient to trigger crustal melting and promote granite genesis. This petrogenetic scenario fits well with regional tectonic models showing the Silurio-Devonian convergence of Avalonia towards Ganderia (which formed the eastern side of composite Laurentia at the time) in the northern Appalachians. Prior to the collision of Avalonia to composite Laurentia, mafic and intermediate composition arc magmas intruded the eastern Ganderian margin. The large amount of heat that accompanied these intrusions is believed to have contributed to Acadian metamorphism and influenced the formation of granitic plutons along the margin. It is therefore proposed that the plutonic record of the Nashoba terrane shows that by the Late Silurian - Early Devonian, Avalonia was still outboard of Laurentia in the vicinity of southern New England

Abstract:

This chapter provides an overview of the geography and settlement history of Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes, beginning with the presence of indigenous peoples at the time of French colonization, continuing through the French, Spanish, and American historic periods, and ending with the modern distribution of ethnic groups on the landscape. It includes a history of the modern indigenous population, who identify as either Houma or one of several other groups: the Pointe au Chien Indian Tribe or one of two branches of the Biloxi Chitimacha Confederation of Muskogees, and provides an account of the arrival of Francophone Europeans, including Acadians, to the Lafourche Basin. It also considers the implications that slavery had for both historic and modern demographics. Finally, it describes the modern settlement patterns, the means by which people make a living, and the distribution of ethnic groups in the area.
