“They’re Really Family!”: Discursive Dynamics of Municipal Twinnings Between Louisiana and Acadian Communities of the Maritime Provinces

Whether considered as a form of “diplomacy by cities,” as a strategy for small and mid-sized communities to assert their role amidst globalization, or as a means of territorial cooperation, twinnings between municipalities of different countries represent a common and oft celebrated facet of contemporary transnationalization. Sister cities in Louisiana and Canada’s Maritime Provinces play an important part in the transnational networks among populations of the Acadian diaspora, a people “scattered to the wind” in the eighteenth century after mass deportation by British authorities. There are currently 12 such twinnings, and partnerships with the French-speaking world figure prominently in external subnational relations across the Maritimes, especially in New Brunswick. This article examines emerging discourses of diasporic Acadian identity through municipal twinnings between Louisiana and l’Acadie des Maritimes. After a general profile of twinnings in the Maritimes, I analyze the evolution of language used in sister-city agreements before offering examples of sister cities’ unique contribution to a sense of diasporic belonging.

Discours du tourisme diasporique : l’exemple d’une visite louisianaise en Acadie

Cet article examine les discours relevant du tourisme diasporique à l’occasion du Congrès Mondial Acadien 2019 tenu au Nouveau-Brunswick et à l’Ile-du-Prince-Edouard (Canada). Les Congrès mondiaux sont l’occasion de réunir des membres de la diaspora acadienne, une minorité ethnique et linguistique originaire de l’Est du Canada dispersée dans plusieurs régions du continent Nord-Américain et dans le monde. En particulier, nous examinons les expériences vécues des membres d’une délégation venue de la Louisiane lors de ce « retour » sur la terre de leurs ancêtres. Les processus d’identification diasporique dont témoignent leurs discours reposent à la fois sur des « moments » où la distance mémorielle et géographique s’efface lors de visites patrimoniales, sur la reconnaissance d’éléments doxiques d’une identité partagée qui permet de se sentir chez soi chez l’autre et sur la volonté de transformer les liens symboliques qui unissent la diaspora en partenariats économiques transnationaux.
