Anglophonie contre francophonie. Le Québec et la frontière culturelle canado-américaine (English-speaking versus french-speaking spaces. Quebec and Canada-US cultural border)

摘要

Abstract. - In terms of cultural geography, Quebec is involved within a spatial triangle with cultural entity. The cultural border Quebec/U.S. always was undervalued. Within Canada/Québec political relations, Montréal acts as a conflictual zone between english and french languages. Québec Province is a stake for two spatial solutions : bilingualism by territorial superimposition and bilingualism by territorial juxtaposition. The new Quebec space is operating with three patterns : political integration by the 1982' federal Constitutional Act, economic continentalization by the 1989' U.S. /Canada free trade agreement, cultural partitioning by the 1987' lake Meech agreement.
