“…If the temporary migration were included, the yearly volume of Korean migration would have numbered approximately 20,000 in early 2000s (Noh et al, 2012). From 2004 onwards, there has been another rise in migration flows from Korea; however, this time Korean immigrants came through different avenues-as transnational migrants through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) (Kim & Belkhodja, 2012). Many Korean migrants arrived through the PNP, which has led many Koreans to be dispersed across Canada.…”

CBC’s Kim’s Convenience (2016) is a play by Ins Choi that was adapted into a TV show in October 2016. This show focuses on a Korean–Canadian family and their convenience store situated locally in Regent Park, Toronto, Ontario. The show speaks to the immigrant experience and life in Canada as described through first generation parents, and second-generation Korean Canadian children. This MRP will analyze the ways in which stereotypes are presented in Kim’s Convenience to subvert naturalized dominant negative discourses and tropes of racialized bodies, while simultaneously being used as a tool to produce counternarratives. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a methodological tool, this paper will explore the use of stereotypes in the portrayal of racialized accents, intergenerational conflicts, intercultural relationships, and the use of Regent Park as a setting for the show.

L’immigration francophone en Acadie : langue, nation et minorité

Cet article fait ressortir les tensions qui découlent des liens entre langue et nationalisme en regard des politiques d’immigration et des parcours migratoires francophones en Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick. Il est montré que le milieu associatif militant légitime l’immigration en puisant dans une idéologie modernisante de la nation qui fait du français le marqueur collectif central. À partir de récits d’immigrants francophones, je relève toutefois deux contradictions sous-jacentes à ce nationalisme linguistique : d’une part, le partage d’une même langue ne suppose pas nécessairement un engagement envers la « cause » linguistique ; d’autre part, des éléments de légitimité et de solidarité autres que la langue ont aussi une influence en matière d’inclusion dans l’acadianité.
