      • Conference-Cultural ChallengesConference-Cultural Challenges

        The International Council for Canadian Studies (ICCS) is pleased to announce that its next conference, entitled Cultural Challenges of Migration in Canada, will be held in Ottawa from May 22 to 24, 2012, in collaboration with the Universities of Ottawa and Carleton. Le Conseil international d’études canadiennes (CIEC) tiendra sa prochaine conférence biennale internationale, intitulée Les défis culturels de la migration au Canada, du 22 au 24 mai 2012 à Ottawa en collaboration avec les universités d’Ottawa et de Carleton. Migration is a factor, which has played a central role in the construction of a Canadian identity. Concepts such as multiculturalism, interculturalism and transculturalism are inextricably linked with phenomena pertaining to migration, and the effects of these phenomena have made themselves felt in Canada’s cultural dynamics. The question therefore arises as to which processes and channels of communication have been instrumental in transmitting these migratory dynamics, and in which form they have manifested themselves in Canadian everyday life and culture. What are the cultural challenges of migration in Canada in the context of “globalization”? Which are the areas where a specific cultural dimension has arisen which, in its turn, has acquired a model character within the global sphere linked to the knowledge-based society? Papers to be read at the symposium should address these questions with regard not only to scientific and popular media and communication, language and literature, music and the visual arts, but also to social and political sciences. La migration a joué un rôle fondamental dans la construction de l’identité canadienne. Des concepts comme le multiculturalisme, l’interculturalisme ou le transculturalisme sont étroitement liés aux phénomènes migratoires qui ont laissé des traces bien visibles dans les processus culturels au Canada. Il convient alors de s’interroger d’une part sur la nature de ces processus et sur les moyens de communication qui transmettent ou médiatisent les dynamiques migratoires ainsi que sur les formes qu’ils peuvent prendre au sein de la culture quotidienne au Canada. Quels sont les défis culturels de la migration au Canada dans le contexte de « la mondialisation » ? Peut-on observer dans certains domaines la genèse d’une culture issue du développement des phénomènes migratoires, et qui prendrait la place qui lui revient dans un monde global lié à la société des savoirs? Les interventions fourniront des réponses à ces questions en se référant non seulement à la communication et aux médias scientifiques ou populaires, aux langues et littératures, à la musique et aux arts visuels, mais aussi aux sciences sociales et politiques.
