Making a Scene about Language Rights
Keywords:
Language rights, Bilingualism, Biculturalism, Linguistic minorities, Royal Commission on Bilingualism and BiculturalismAbstract
Frank (1976) a donné une interprétation intéressante de cet aspect de l'interaction publique communément appelée « faire une scène ». Ce texte suggère que la Commission Royale d'Enquête sur le Bilinguisme et le Biculturalisme a créé une situation où il était possible aux groupes linguistiques minoritaires de la société canadienne de menacer symboliquement les normes d'une conduite bienséante — en somme de faire une scène. Le rapport conclut que la rencontre entre la Commission et les dossiers qui lui ont été soumis est une renégociation de la réalité sociale où les groupes d'intérêt visent à établir une nouvelle réalité apparaissant comme consensuelle.
