L'existence et la persistance de mouvements nationalistes peuvent avoir plusieurs explications, dont l'une est liée aux générations – à la façon dont elles ont été socialisées à la politique dans des contextes sociétaux distincts, et comment les générations plus âgées sont remplacées par les plus jeunes à travers le temps. Pour mieux comprendre l'évolution du nationalisme au Québec, cette étude s'appuie sur les six dernières Études électorales québécoises (2007–2022) et utilise un modèle âge-période-cohorte pour examiner la relation entre les groupes générationnels et divers indicateurs du nationalisme. Les résultats révèlent effectivement une histoire générationnelle. Les baby-boomers se distinguent particulièrement des autres générations par leur attachement au Québec, leur soutien au projet d'indépendance et leur appui au Parti québécois, tandis que les millénariaux soutiennent davantage Québec solidaire et les membres de la génération X appuient davantage la Coalition avenir Québec. Ainsi, il cohabite actuellement différentes « générations nationalistes » au Québec. The existence and persistence of nationalist movements among substate nations can have various explanations, one of which is related to generations – how they were socialized to politics in distinct societal contexts, and how older generations are replaced by younger ones. Hence, to better understand the evolution of nationalism in Quebec, this study draws on the last six Quebec Election Studies (2007–2022) and uses an Age-Period-Cohort model to examine the relationship between generational groups and various indicators of nationalism. The results reveal that there is indeed a generational story to tell about nationalism in Quebec. The generation of the baby boomers is particularly distinct from other generations, in terms of its attachment to Quebec, its support for Quebec's independence, and its support of the Parti Québécois; whereas the Millennials are more supportive of Québec Solidaire and GenXers are more likely to support the Coalition Avenir Québec. There are currently distinct "nationalist generations" that cohabitate in Quebec. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article studies the relationship between French-Canadian nationalism and economic liberalism in the work of journalist and public intellectual Étienne Parent (1802–1874). Despite numerous studies of his thinking on politics, few have considered Parent's economic thought in any depth. Yet a thorough analysis of his writings shows that this French-Canadian intellectual considered economic liberalism a necessary condition for the preservation of French-Canadian nationality. This article thus sheds light on this aspect of Parent's thought through the analysis of speeches that he delivered in Montreal and Québec City after the Union of 1840. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this essay, the author suggests reviewing previous works on the relationship between Québécois songs, cultural identity, and nationalism through the notion of heritagization and its operational concepts, that of “unauthorized heritage” (Roberts and Cohen 2014) in particular. He claims that such a rereading of popular music history relativizes and specifies the content of those narratives seen as hegemonic, while highlighting the procedural, political and constantly renewed nature of the legitimization and transmission processes of the collective memory of (or by) the folk song. Different modes of heritagization are then discussed, such as title presentations by the Ordre national du Québec, tribute prizes at the Gala de l’ADISQ, and the customs of Québec’s country-western cultural community. The result is the consideration, or at least, a form of valorization of concrete and popular heritagization processes such as festivals, self-promotion and niche media—they too convey, albeit from outside the institutions, an identity and collective legacy.

The initiative for constitutional amendment is the entry to the constituent process. Its importance is one of fundamental nature, more so in a multinational State. Indeed, in such a context, the various segments of a fragmented society should all be able to initiate the constitutional process, this ability then being synonymous with an ability to initiate a dialogue between nations. Spain and Canada are both examples of multinational States in which we find a rigid Constitution with defined mechanisms of constitutional initiative. Comparison of these initiative procedures will highlight the ways in which the Canadian and Spanish States either respect the spirit of the constituent pact or rationalize its effects, with the consequences of directly impacting the constitutional initiative power in Quebec and in Catalonia. More globally, this research will also put in perspective the position of the Canadian and Spanish political elites about the initiative of the constitutional revision in the broader context of their consideration of minority nations claims within the multinational State.
