Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Permissions -- Introduction: Hockey as Nationalist Marker in Quebec Film, but Which Nationalism? -- Chapter One: From Canadiens to Québécois: Maurice Richard as National Hero -- Chapter Two: “The Nordiques Have Disappeared!” Hockey, Science Fiction, and Nationalist Fantasies in Quebec -- Chapter Three: Plus ça change…: The Hockey-Themed Television Series Lance et compte as a Reflection of Quebec Society -- Chapter Four: Real Men Play Hockey: Sport, Masculinity, and National Identity in the Les Boys Films -- Chapter Five: Rock and Roll, Skate and Slide: Hockey Music as an Expression of National Identity in Quebec -- Conclusion: Hockey Is Quebec -- Notes -- Works Cited -- Index
Summary: A wide-ranging study that examines everything from the blockbuster movie franchise Les Boys to the sovereigntist hip hop group Loco Locass, Hockey, PQ explores how Canada’s national sport has been used to signify a specific Québécois identity. Amy J. Ransom analyzes how Québécois writers, filmmakers, and musicians have appropriated symbols like the Montreal Forum, Maurice Richard, or the 1972 Summit Series to construct or critique images of the Québécois male.Close analyses of hockey-themed narratives consider the soap opera Lance et compte (‘He shoots, he scores’), the music of former pro player Bob Bisonnette, folk band Mes Aïeux, rock group Les Dales Hawerchuk, and the fiction of François Barcelo. Through these examinations of the role hockey plays in contemporary francophone popular culture, Ransom shows how Quebec’s popular culture uses hockey to distinguish French-Canadians from the French and to rally them against their English-speaking counterparts. In the end, however, this study illuminates how the sport of hockey unites the two solitudes.
