Abstract

De 1939 à 1949 la radio québécoise diffuse des centaines d'adaptations d'oeuvres étrangères. Le Québec devient ainsi un lieu de rencontre de divers réseaux culturels. L'orientation du répertoire et les modifications imposées aux textes originaux révèlent des tensions entre les forces d'acculturation et lesforces d'enculturation. Between 1939 and 1949 hundreds of adaptations of foreign works were broadcast in Québec and the province's radio network became in effect a meeting groundfor various cultural systems. This study of imported repertory and of the types of adaptation imposed upon original texts reveals conflicting tensions between acculturating and enculturating forces.
