Le paysage sociopolitique canadien est, actuellement, transformé par les mouvements de résurgence culturelle de Premières nations, des Métis et des Inuits. Parmi les traditions revitalisées, la pratique du tatouage traditionnel gagne en importance. Un nombre croissant d’artistes-tatoueur.euse.s autochtones réparti.e.s à travers le Canada s’évertuent à revitaliser le médium. Ce mémoire s’intéresse, particulièrement, au travail de Dion Kaszas, de Toby Sicks et d’Angela Hovak Johnston. En explorant leur projet de revitalisation, j’aborde, entre autres, les questions de la transmission intergénérationnelle, de l’hybridité culturelle et de l’agentivité du tatouage. Employant une méthodologie décolonisée axée sur la culture lakota, ce travail propose les récits d’autochtones tatoué.e.s rencontré.e.s lors de séjours de re-cherche. En me basant sur nos conversations, je tente d’expliquer l’importance du tatouage ancestral dans l’affirmation identitaire des autochtones contemporain.e.s J’y montre que, dans les milieux urbains, principalement, la pratique du tatouage permet une guérison collective et individuelle, en plus de contribuer à l’affirmation des identités autochtones et à l'autonomisation des diverses nations sur le territoire. De plus, grâce à divers témoignages, j’explique que le tatouage autochtone contemporain sert de levier dans les luttes sociopolitiques actuelles. Ainsi, l’art du tatouage, un médium indûment négligé par les études en l’histoire de l’art, s’avère être un acteur déterminant dans les grands mouvements de résurgence culturelle autochtone actuellement au Canada. Ce mémoire invite, donc, le lecteur ou la lectrice à reconsidérer l’importance de l’art du tatouage autochtone contemporain et les enjeux qu’il soulève. / The Canadian socio-political landscape is currently being transformed by the cultural resurgence movements of First Nations, Métis and Inuit. The practice of traditional tattooing is gaining importance as a component of this process of revitalization. A growing number of Aboriginal tattoo artists across Canada are working to revive the medium. This thesis examines the work of Dion Kaszas, Angela Hovak Johnston and Toby Sicks, in particular. As part of my exploration of their revitalizing projects, I examine, among other things, questions of transmission, cultural hybridity, and agency. Employing decolonizing methodologies, particularly insights from Lakota culture, I share the stories of several tattooed Indigenous people encountered during my re-search. Based on our conversations, I seek to explain the importance of the ancestral tattoo in the assertion of identity of contemporary Indigenous peoples. I show that both in urban areas and on reserves, the practice of tattooing facilitates collective and individual healing, in addition to contributing to the affirmation of Aboriginal identities and the empowerment of various nations. In addition, I discuss ways that contemporary Aboriginal tattooing contributes to current socio-political struggles. I show how the art of tattooing, a medium unduly neglected in art history, plays a major role in cultural resurgence movements of Indigenous peoples of Canada today. Cumulatively, the thesis invites the reader to reconsider the importance of contemporary Aboriginal tattoo art and the issues it raises.

Cette recherche consiste en un examen du rôle du festival dans une communauté linguistique en contexte minoritaire confrontée à des enjeux spécifiques tels que l’assimilation, l’exogamie, la diglossie, l’inégal accès aux services dans sa langue, de même que l’accès limité aux produits culturels de son groupe linguistique. Le cas des festivals francophones en milieu minoritaire sert à interroger concrètement et empiriquement les possibilités, les conditions, les limites et les contraintes de cette forme particulière d’événement en tant que vecteur de la vitalité culturelle d’une communauté minoritaire. Le festival est aussi exploré en lien aux grandes finalités de développement culturel et de démocratie culturelle, soit des mécanismes culturels à la source des politiques culturelles modernes, ainsi qu’en lien à son rôle aux niveaux de l’affirmation et de la consolidation identitaires. Une étude de cas multiples a été menée afin de comparer et d’analyser trois festivals francophones en milieu minoritaire ontarien qui sont mis sur pied dans différentes régions, et ont des objectifs à la fois similaires et différenciés : 1) La Nuit sur l’étang (Sudbury) ; 2) le Festival franco-ontarien (Ottawa) ; et 3) le Festival du Loup (Lafontaine-Penetanguishene). En focalisant sur chaque cas étudié, nous sommes en mesure de donner une vue d’ensemble du phénomène « festival » dans un tel contexte. Cette recherche présente, par le biais de sources documentaires, d’observations sur le terrain et d’entretiens auprès des organisateurs, des festivaliers et des artistes de ces événements, les perceptions qu’en ont et l’utilisation qu’en font ces différentes catégories d’acteurs impliqués. Elle fait plus précisément état de la contribution du festival au niveau des mécanismes culturels proposés ci-dessus. En outre, elle permet de déterminer si les acteurs directement impliqués dans ce type d’événement le perçoivent comme un enjeu important pour la francité. Bref, l’ensemble des contributions qu’apportent les festivals francophones en Ontario montrent en quoi ces événements agissent comme des vecteurs de la vitalité culturelle d’une communauté minoritaire. / This dissertation examines the role of the festival in a linguistic community in a minority context confronted with assimilation, exogamy, diglossia, unequal access to services in their mother tongue, as well as limited access to cultural products of their linguistic group. The case of francophone festivals in a minority situation serves as a way to verify concretely and empirically the possibilities, the conditions, the limits and the constraints of this particular form of event as a vector of cultural vitality of a minority community. The festival is also explored in regard to cultural development and cultural democracy, that is, two cultural mechanisms related to modern cultural policy. The role of the festival in relation to identity affirmation and identity consolidation is also explored. A multiple case study was conducted in order to compare and analyze three francophone festivals in minority communities in Ontario that take place in different regions, and that have similar and different objectives: 1) La Nuit sur l’étang Sudbury); 2) the Festival franco-ontarien (Ottawa); and 3) the Festival du Loup (Lafontaine-Penetanguishene). By focusing on each of these cases, we are able to give a broader view of the festival phenomenon set in this particular context. This research presents, through the use of documentary sources, fieldwork observations and interviews with festival organizers, audience members and artists, the perceptions they have and the use they make of the festival. It also sheds light on the contribution of the festival pertaining to the aforementioned cultural mechanisms and if the actors directly implicated in this type of event perceive them as being an important issue for Frenchness. In sum, the various contributions of francophone festivals in Ontario studied in this research demonstrate how these events act as vectors of cultural vitality of a francophone minority community.

Nesta tese, analisou-se o discurso quilombola tendo como objeto teórico a construção do efeito de sentido de afirmação da identidade na relação com a estratégia de manipulação por sedução o objeto empírico sendo as bonecas pretas do Quilombo de Conceição das Crioulas, situado em Salgueiro PE, na tentativa de: discutir o que é uma identidade semiótica, como se produz esse efeito textual-discursivamente e o que significa a afirmação da identidade pelos sujeitos; analisar como se constrói o efeito de sentido de identidade no corpus; cotejar a afirmação da identidade com a semiótica da manipulação; refletir sobre o conceito de manipulação e seus desdobramentos na Semiótica greimasiana e explicitar, no corpus, a gestão do sentido tanto pela intencionalidade com que, implicitamente, o enunciador engendra uma imagem-fim positiva do enunciatário, quanto pelo excedente passional que sobrevém ao discurso. Os resultados da discussão teórica e sua incidência na análise do corpus demonstram que a identidade semiótica é um simulacro e para o efeito de sua afirmação são necessários elementos sintáxicos que produzam a repetição que, no discurso das bonecas, realiza-se com o recurso à isotopia, à aspectualização, à tensividade. Tais elementos, associados à estrutura manipulativa, arquitetam a estratégia da sedução com vistas à adesão ao discurso comunicado, o qual, pela tensão entre querer e dever, põe em movimento a ética e a estética. Notadamente, repetir para lembrar e seduzir para influenciar têm todo relevo na semiótica das bonecas. / In this thesis, we have analyzed the quilombola discourse. Our theoretical object was the construction of the meaning effect of identity affirmation in the relation with the strategy of manipulation by seduction the empiric object were the black dolls from Quilombo de Conceição das Crioulas, which is located in Salgueiro-PE. We have aimed at: discussing what is semiotic identity, how this effect is textually and discursively produced and what the subjects identity affirmation means; analyzing how the meaning effect of identity is constructed in our corpus; collating the identity affirmation with the semiotics of manipulation; reflecting about the concept of manipulation and its deployment in greimasian semiotics and showing, in the corpus, the management of the meaning by the intentionality with which, implicitly, the enunciator engenders a positive end-image of the enunciatee, and by the passionate surplus which overtakes the discourse. The results of the theoretical discussion and its incidence in the analysis of the corpus show that the semiotic identity is a simulacrum and that syntaxic elements which produce repetition are needed for the effect of its affirmation. In the discourse of the dolls, this is realized by isotopy, aspectualization, tensivity. These elements, associated with the structure of manipulation, build the strategy of seduction aiming the adhesion to the discourse, which, by the tension between wanting and having to do, put the ethic and the esthetic in movement. Notably, repeating to remember and seducing to influence have a lot of importance in the semiotics of the dolls.

Ce projet de mémoire porte sur le mouvement de l’absurde qui s’établit au théâtre dans les années 1950 et 1960. Il a pour objectif de saisir comment la scène absurde, dans sa dimension du comique et de la dérision, se déploie au sein du champ théâtral québécois. Selon l’historiographie théâtrale, le théâtre québécois de la première moitié du XXe siècle correspond, souvent avec quelques années de retard, à la modernité européenne et française. Ce même modèle d’émulation devient cependant problématique après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et durant la deuxième moitié du siècle. Pour preuve : l’absurde éclot en France dans les années 1950 autour d’un corpus d’œuvres et d’auteurs assez bien défini et connu de tous, alors que le mouvement, au Québec, reste un continent enfoui qui passe difficilement le seuil de la perception courante. La crise du logocentrisme et de la conception humaniste traditionnelle qui marque la période d’après-guerre, ainsi que le désir croissant de fonder une dramaturgie nationale originale font en sorte que certains dramaturges québécois proposent une reconfiguration complète de l’art théâtral. Jacques Languirand, Robert Gurik et Yves Hébert Sauvageau en font partie, et c’est à travers trois de leurs créations théâtrales originales que nous souhaitons explorer cette problématique. Nous commencerons par inscrire le théâtre québécois d’après-guerre dans le large contexte de son époque. La deuxième partie de l’étude aborde les questions relatives au dépassement du cadre dramatique traditionnel qui fait en sorte que la langue, pour nos dramaturges, ne permet plus d’être un vecteur d’affirmation identitaire, et constitue désormais un objet dérisoire. Nous explorerons ensuite le principe de dérision après la Seconde Guerre mondiale au sein du théâtre de l’absurde français et comment il se manifeste dans l’élaboration du langage théâtral des trois pièces au corpus. Finalement, la dernière partie du mémoire propose de cerner le plaisir de la dérision propre au théâtre, en étudiant les pièces à l’aide des principales théories sur l’humour. Cette recherche s’opère par le biais d’une saisie théorique multiple, au croisement de l’approche intermédiale historique du théâtre québécois et des concepts et des procédés de la théorie du comique. / This master’s thesis focuses on the absurdist thespian movement that took hold in the 1950s and 1960s. Its objective aims to understand how the absurd scene, in its dimension of comedy and derision, unfolds within the Quebec theatrical field. According to theatrical historiography, the Quebec theater of the first half of the 20th century corresponds, often with a few years of delay, to European and French modernity. However, this exact model of emulation became problematic after the Second World War and during the second half of the century. For instance, the absurd flourished in France in the 1950s around a corpus of works and authors notably defined and known to all, whereas in Quebec the movement remained a buried continent that had difficulty crossing the threshold of common perception. The crisis of logocentrism and the traditional humanist conception that marked the post-war period, as well as the growing desire to found an original national dramaturgy, led certain Quebec playwrights to propose a complete reconfiguration of theatrical art. Jacques Languirand, Robert Gurik, and Yves Hébert Sauvageau are among them, and it is through three of their original theatrical creations that we wish to explore this issue. We will begin by placing post-war Quebec theater in the broad context of its time. The second part of the study addresses questions related to the overcoming of the traditional dramatic framework which, for our playwrights, means that language can no longer be a vehicle for affirming identity, and henceforth constitutes a derisory object. We will then explore the principle of derision after the Second World War within the French theater of the absurd and how it manifests itself in the elaboration of the theatrical language from three plays of the corpus. Conclusively, the last part of this thesis proposes to identify the pleasure of derision specific to the theater by studying the plays with the help of the main theories on humor. This research is carried out through a multiple theoretical approach, at the crossroads of the historical intermedial approach of Quebec theater and the concepts and procedures of comedy theory.
