Éloge du chiac - Partie 2

Quarante ans après le documentaire Éloge du chiac du grand Michel Brault, ce long métrage de Marie Cadieux reprend la discussion linguistique et socioculturelle où il l’avait laissée en 1968. De simples citoyens, des artistes et même des spécialistes français déclarent à leur façon leur amour pour le chiac, cette langue intimement liée à l’identité acadienne qui est parlée au sud-est du Nouveau-Brunswick. Une réflexion passionnante sur l’avenir de la francophonie au Canada et dans le monde.

A viewing of Part I would be helpful prior to viewing Part 2. Pre-teach the term “Chiac,” since it is the primary focus of both films. Debate the use of Chiac and the negative connotations that the language has today. Identify Chiac’s primary speakers and the problems that it presents for them. Discuss Acadieman as a form of literature. Comment on the author’s purpose for creating it.
