Özet Bu makale, ulusal kimliğin inşasında tarihsel sürecin önemini, özellikle toprağa dayalı, sivil Quebec kimliğinin ortaya çıkışı bağlamında ele almakta. Quebec milliyetçiliği, tıpkı Katalan ve İskoç milliyetçiliği gibi genelde etnik milliyetçilik şeklinde tarif edilir. Etnik milliyetçilik çoğu zaman gerici ve hatta ırkçı olarak resmedildiğinden Quebec kimliğinin etnik milliyetçilik şeklinde tanımlanması Quebec milliyetçiliğini değersizleştirmekte ve zayıflatmaktadır. Gerek gündelik hayatta gerekse akademide etnik milliyetçilik akıldışılık ve kabilecilikle ilintilendirilirken sivil milliyetçilik Fransız Devrimi’nin eşitlik, özgürlük ve kardeşlik kavramlarıyla ifade edilir. Bu makale, tarihin, ulusal kimliğin inşasında önemli bir yer tuttuğunu öne sürerken, Fransız Kanadalı milliyetçilerin egemenlik projelerini meşrulaştırabilmek için tarihi yeni baştan yazarak nasıl yeni bir kimlik yarattıklarını göstermektedir: sivil Quebec ulusu. Anahtar kelimeler: Etnik milliyetçilik, sivil milliyetçilik, Quebec milliyetçiliği, Quebec kimliği, Sessiz Devrim Abstract This article examines the role of historical process in the construction of national identity, particularly focusing on the emergence of a territorially-based civic Quebec identity. Quebec nationalism, just like its Catalan and Scottish counterparts, is usually defined as ethnic nationalism. However, such delineation of Quebec identity marginalizes and undermines Quebec nationalism because ethnic nationalism is usually described as reactionary and even racist. Both academic and colloquial uses of ethnic nationalism entail irrationality and tribalism while civic nationalism is usually associated with the enlightenment of the French Revolution along with its concepts of equality, freedom and fraternity. This article suggests that history is major component in the construction of national identity. It argues that the French Canadian nationalists, seeking to legitimize their projects of sovereignty, reinvented their history by creating a new identity: the civic Québécois nation. Key Words: ethnic nationalism, civic nationalism, Quebec nationalism, Quebec identity, Quiet Revolution
This article discusses the importance of the historical process in the construction of national identity, especially in the context of the emergence of land-based, civil Quebec identity. Quebec nationalism, like Catalan and Scottish nationalism, is usually described as ethnic nationalism. Since ethnic nationalism is often portrayed as reactive and even racist, the definition of Quebec identity as ethnic nationalism underestimates and weakens Quebec nationalism. If it is necessary in everyday life, ethnic nationalism in the academy is linked with wisdom and capacity, while civil nationalism is expressed with the concepts of equality, freedom and brotherhood of the French Revolution. While this article suggests that history holds an important place in the construction of national identity, it shows how French Canadian nationalists have created a new identity by writing history from the beginning to legalizing their sovereignty projects: the civil Quebec nation. Keywords: ethnic nationalism, civil nationalism, Quebec nationalism, Quebec identity, Silent Revolution Abstract This article examines the role of historical process in the construction of national identity,
