Description
Cet article traite de la question de la negociation identitaire dans un contexte transnational, au moyen de l'analyse ethnographique des pratiques ukrainiennes contemporaines a Mundare, petite communaute ukrainienne situee au coeur de la colonie ukrainienne, en Alberta du centre-est. Cet article porte sur la mise en scene du langage et des pratiques de l'association culturelle Zustreech, organisee dans cette communaute par des immigrants recemment arrives d'Ukraine. Tandis que la negociation identitaire entre les Ukrainiens locaux et leurs homologues du vieux pays s'alourdit de problemes de communications, a l'occasion de plusieurs evenements publics mis en scene par l'association Zustreech, de tels evenements parviennent cependant a alimenter de nouvelles experiences identitaires ukrainienne-canadienne. This article deals with the questions of identity negotiation in a transnational context, through an ethnographic examination of contemporary "Ukrainian practices" in Mundare, a small Ukrainian community, located in the heart of the Ukrainian bloc settlement in east central Alberta. The article focuses on performative language and practices of a Zustreech cultural society organized in this community by recent immigrants from Ukraine. While identity negotiation between the local Ukrainians and their old country counterparts is fraught with miscommunication in the domain of various public events staged by the Zustreech society, such events do succeed in fostering new experiences of Ukrainian-Canadian identity.
