More DescriptionMigration 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 System. 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 culture.
Dans la construction de l'identité canadienne, la migration occupe une position importante. Les concepts comme le multiculturalisme, l'interculturalisme ou le transculturalisme sont étroitement liés aux phénomènes migratoires, dont les effets ne manquent pas d'être visibles dans le système culturel canadien. II faut se demander donc, quels sont les processus et les voies de communication qui transmettent ou médiatisent les dynamiques migratoires ou bien, quelles sont les formes de leur présence au sein de la culture canadienne.
