Résumé
Nous défendrons la thèse selon laquelle le multiculturalisme canadien puise sa source idéologique dans un multiculturalisme normatif déjà présent dans le Troisième Empire britannique, c’est-à-dire le « Commonwealth britannique ». En effet, l’idée de multiculturalisme représentait une position légitime à laquelle on avait recours dans l’espace discursif de cette époque. Nous croyons en fait que l’idée même de britannicité recelait à cette époque une notion normative de multiculturalisme. L’analyse débute par un bref historique du terme « britannique », suivie par une présentation de la vision multiculturelle propre au Troisième Empire à travers trois intellectuels de cette époque: Alfred Zimmern, John Buchan (dit Lord Tweedsmuir) et Édouard Montpetit.
Abstract
The author defends the thesis that Canadian multiculturalism draws its ideology from a normative multiculturalism already present in the Third British Empire, that is, the “British Commonwealth”. In fact, the idea of multiculturalism was a legitimate position and one that we could look to in the discursive space of this era. We believe that, during this era, the very idea of Britishness concealed a normative notion of multiculturalism. Our analysis begins by a brief history of the term “British”, followed by a presentation of the multicultural vision specific to the Third Empire from the standpoint of three intellectuals of this time: Alfred Zimmern, John Buchan (known as Lord Tweedsmuir) and Édouard Montpetit.
