FRENCH CANADIAN CULTURE

French Canadian culture

Abstract

The paper discuses the French Canadian cultural aspects. The paper also includes an interview regarding the literature. Beginning with the first cultural productions that supplied the cornerstone for the creation of a nationwide persona and expanding to the present-day critique of the idea of persona itself, French-Canadian humanity has conceived a diverse and comprehensive body of cultural works. As Fernand Dumont has discerned, they have performed a centered function in the origin of a humanity by setting up a quotation through which that humanity at one time characterises and expresses its identity. It is this dual function of cultural as a means of conceiving communal persona and as a way of expressing and perpetuating that persona which will be worried in this essay. Literature is an particularly privileged contestant in this method, but the other creative pursuits, encompassing decorating, architecture, and movie, furthermore play a part.
