Abstract

AbstractIn this article we seek to find a way out of the antinomic debate pitting the advocates of the substantialist thesis against those who defend constructivist theories regarding the nation as a "place so named" (lieu dit). Using examples from the case of Quebec—with a view to illustrating a line of argument much more than establishing an empirical interpretation—we attempt to reconcile perspectives from a semantic of action with those from a pragmatic of action within the framework of a theory-in-progress of narraction.
