Résumé
Mon analyse porte sur des constructions de la mémoire et de l’identité, parmi trois générations de Juifs montréalais d’origine marocaine. En particulier, les rapports avec les mouvements ultra-orthodoxes sont révélateurs de positions quant à la judéité et à la séphardité, dans un processus de différenciation par rapport aux coreligionnaires ashkénazes. À travers une analyse du rapport au passé et des constructions de la mémoire, en plus de l’historiographie des rapports entre Ashkénazes et Sépharades depuis l’expulsion d’Espagne de 1492, il en découle une remise en question, partielle, de ces deux catégories ethnoreligieuses. Comme les cadres sociaux de la mémoire, la notion de frontière permet d’éclairer les processus contemporains de représentation de soi et des autres, parmi cet ensemble diasporique qui négocie ainsi, à la fois, ses rapports à la société locale, ses frontières internes et ses dynamiques transnationales.
Abstract
My analysis examines memory and identity constructions among three generations of Montreal Jews of Moroccan origin. Emphasis is placed on opinions towards ultra-orthodox movements which reveal positioning of their own Jewish and Sephardic identity, in a differentiating process from their Ashkenazim fellow Jews. Analysis of relations to the past and memory constructions, as well as the historiography of relations between Ashkenazim and Sephardim since the 1492 expulsion from Spain, results in a partial questioning of these two ethno-religious categories. Like memory’s social frames, the notion of frontier sheds light on contemporary processes of representations of self and others, inside this diasporic entity, therefore negotiating, at once, its relations with the local society, its internal frontiers and its transnational dynamics.
