Les traversées d’une tradition : identité culturelle et remédiation de la chanson populaire au Québec
This work, which mainly takes the form of an argumentative text, represents the written part of this master’s thesis and follows a process of reflection on a film production, from its conception to its reception. It exposes the results of a creative process through various stages and accompanies the creation part, Les Saisons Lyriques, which is a documentary film. These chapters are intended as a tool for any film artist wishing to do audiovisual experimentation that raises the question of how the choice of the film media is effective to carry and convey a subject. In this thesis, the subject is incidental and serves as material to show why the documentary film is a reliable way of expression to translate an idea and produce the desired effect, even when there is interaction between one media and another. This study will help to evaluate subsequent levels at which media can be found working in the service of another. Although the subject is secondary, it is appropriate in this context in that it concerns an artistic object broadcast by various kinds of media: the song. The latter, representing the subject of specific study, is surrounded by a more elaborate topic: the transformation of Quebec's cultural identity through the remediation of the popular song.
