“…In several regions, this movement was accompanied by the formation of separatist groups, but above all by the emergence of regional folk singers, festivals and regional media promoting local differences. Regional cultures were highlighted and promoted (Gemie, 2005). After 1981, political decentralization consolidated these movements by delegating authority to regional bodies in areas such as education, transport, social solidarity and economic development (Krulic, 2008).…”

This study analyzes the ways consumers legitimize their regional ethnic affiliation. An analysis of 29 introspections highlights the means individuals use to legitimize their ethnic affiliation and its authenticity. More precisely, it (1) demonstrates how individuals hijack and invent new sources of ethnic legitimacy, (2) emphasizes the role of archetypes in perceived ethnic authenticity and (3) examines dissonances linked to ethnic authenticity (artificiality and ambivalence). These results enrich previous research on reflexive ethnicity by introducing self-legitimizing processes and showing how individuals contribute, by consuming archetypes, to developing the collective constructs on which ethnicity is based. This leads to recommendations regarding the legitimization of regional brands.

“…Dans plusieurs régions, ce mouvement s'accompagne de la formation de groupuscules indépendantistes mais surtout de l'émergence de groupes de musique, de festivals et de médias régionaux qui font la promotion des spécificités locales. Les cultures régionales se voient valorisées et mises en avant (Gemie, 2005). À partir de 1981, la décentralisation politique consolide ces mouvements régionaux en déléguant aux régions de nombreuses compétences en termes d'éducation, de transport, de solidarité et de développement économique (Krulic, 2008).…”

Cette recherche analyse les façons dont les consommateurs légitiment leur affiliation ethnique régionale. L'analyse de 29 introspections met en avant les moyens utilisés par les individus, notamment à travers la consommation, pour légitimer leur affiliation ethnique et l'authenticité de cette affiliation. Plus spécifiquement, (1) nous montrons comment les individus détournent et inventent de nouvelles sources de légitimité ethnique, (2) nous mettons en avant le rôle des archétypes dans la perception de l'authenticité ethnique et (3) nous étudions les dissonances liées à l'authenticité ethnique (artificialité et ambivalence). Ces résultats enrichissent les recherches sur l'ethnicité réflexive en introduisant les processus d'auto-légitimation et en montrant comment les individus, à travers leur consommation d'archétypes, font évoluer les constructions collectives sur lesquelles s'appuie l'ethnicité. Ils permettent également de proposer des recommandations sur les processus de légitimation des marques régionales.

“…Marchand's music is significant for the way it helped to popularise a language that was, until the 1970s, seen by many of its speakers to be a stigmatising sign of poverty and backwardness (Winick 1995;Jones 1998;Le Coadic 1998;Gemie 2005). Marchand, along with other musicians, writers and artists, was instrumental in launching a broad cultural and linguistic revival movement that continues to this day.…”

This paper contributes to a debate on linguistic identity and social participation in France by providing a critical reading of language policy and practice. It challenges the notion that France is a linguistically homogenous nation where a standardised French language is universally practiced and, rather, seeks to reframe linguistic diversity and heterogeneity as fundamental and legitimate constitutive features of French society. In exploring diversity from this critical perspective, the paper looks to the ways in which a number of artists and language activists are deliberately and consciously transgressing normative notions of French to affirm the legitimacy of their alterity and difference. The paper does not make an argument against the legitimacy or social value of standard French, but rather argues in favour of a more critical and inclusive approach to cultural and linguistic difference in France.
