Abstract 0

While adaptations of English and French classics multiply in Québec, «Molière go home», the student manifesto published in 1970 at the University of Sudbury, hints at a dramaturgy perceived as foreign, as opposed to the new French-Canadian creations. The Acadian author Antonine Maillet offers an original interpretation of such linguistic and cultural renewal in her Molière-inspired comedy Le Bourgeois gentleman, where she uncovers the linguistic uncertainty afflicting the minorities living in an evolving diglossic context. The satire of Anglomania becomes the subject of a scenic performance between imitation and parody; besides, it also suggests a reflection on the linguistic and cultural preservation exercised by Québec over the other Canadian francophone regions.
