| Description | Multicultural settings provide a good source of different materials and approaches for studying questions of identity. The individual, be it as author, filmmaker, painter or philosopher, is located at the axiological intersection where identity is created through the interaction of or contact between various ethnic, language, cultural and national identities. The conference attempted to analyse from different points of vieew a diversity of possible interactions ranging from those between the Anglophone and Francophone spheres to those between these two cultural spheres and the identities of immigrants, aboriginal peoples and other socially marginalized groups. La situation multiculturelle offre plusieurs solutions de la question identitaire. L individu (écrivain, cinéaste, peintre, penseur) peut etre conçu comme un point d intersection axiologique dont l identité se forme, en conflit aussi bien qu en synergie, avec des identités ethnique, linguistique, culturelle, nationale. Le colloque a tenté de prospecter différents aspects des interactions possibles tant entre les spheres anglophone et francophone qu entre celles-ci et les cultures et identités des populations immigrées, des premieres nations ou des groupes marginalisés socialement. |
