Description
* Sur l'ile du Cap-Breton, ou les mines de charbon et les acieries constituaient autrefois une composante essentielle de la culture et de l'economie de la region, la chanson et le poeme de contestation sont tres courants. Cet article explore certains chansons et poemes de contestation de l'ile du Cap-Breton qui n'avaient jusque-la pas ete etudies. Le corpus de chansons provient pour la plupart du Maritime Labour Herald, un quotidien des annees 1920 qui incluait des Luvres composees sur place et ailleurs dans le monde. Dans le passe, certains ethnologues ont ecarte les chansons de contestation car leurs paradigmes ne leur permettaient pas d'apprehender ces dernieres comme des modes d'expression culturels authentiques. Leur approche souleve des questions complexes sur comment et par qui se construit l'authenticite. Mon propos ici est de demontrer qu'une tradition de chansons de contestation tres evoluee a bien et bel existe et a joue un role important dans les luttes travaillistes des annees 1920. En effet, ces documents vernaculaires affermirent la solidarite au cours des moments de bouleversement et de changement a l'ile du Cap-Breton. * On Cape Breton Island, where coal mining and steel making were once an essential part of the region's culture and economy, protest song and verse are found in abundance. This article explores some previously unexamined protest songs and verses of Cape Breton Island. The body of songs is culled largely from the Maritime Labour Herald, a newspaper of the 1920s that included both locally and internationally composed works. Some earlier folklorists ignored protest songs because their paradigms did not permit them to view these forms as authentic cultural expressions. Their approach raises complex issues of how authenticity is constructed and by whom. My intent is to show that a well-developed protest song tradition was alive and well, and played an important role in the labour struggles of the 1920s. Indeed, these vernacular materials were used for solidarity during times of upheaval and change in Cape Breton Island.
