Краткое описание
This article is concerned with the role of media representations of language use in the promotion of language ideologies and in identity construction. It focuses on media representations of Chiac, a traditionally low-status variety of Acadian French. We consider performances of this variety in the adventures of an animated superhero, Acadieman, presented in a cable TV show running on Rogers TV from 2005 to 2009. We first contextualize Acadieman in terms of the linguistic and cultural contexts in which Chiac is spoken. We then consider how particular social meanings are created through contrasts between Chiac-speaking characters and speakers of other varieties. While the juxtaposition of varieties is at one level quite humorous, on another level it draws on complex indexicalities and valorizes the local variety and, by extension, its speakers. Finally, we argue that the Acadieman phenomenon provides a discursive space within which present-day Acadian identities can be negotiated.
Resume: Cet article traite du role de la representation de la langue par les medias dans la promotion d’ideologies linguistiques et dans la construction d’identites. Il porte sur la presentation par les medias du chiac, une variete du francais acadien habituellement stigmatisee. Nous considerons des manifestations de cette variete dans les aventures d’un superheros, Acadieman , presentees dans une serie d’animation televisee entre 2005 et 2009 par la TV Rogers. D’abord nous situons Acadieman en termes des contextes linguistique et culturel dans lesquels le chiac est parle. Ensuite, nous considerons la maniere dont certaines connotations sociales sont creees via les contrastes entre les personnages parlant chiac et ceux qui parlent d’autres varietes. Alors que la juxtaposition des varietes est plutot comique, a un autre niveau discursif, elle se sert d’indexicalisations complexes et valorise la variete locale et, par extension, ses locuteurs. Enfin, nous proposons que le phenomene Acadieman etablit un espace discursif a l’interieur duquel les identites acadiennes peuvent etre negociees.
