Based on the analysis of various known versions of this ballad, this article challenges this idea by arguing that it was inspired by an earlier song circulating in Europe about the siege of the German city of Philippsbourg. Beyond the case of Louisbourg, the article examines the multiple variations of siege songs, their role in the elaboration of shared military cultures, and the memorial legacy they have left in the francophone oral tradition.Abstract:La Complainte de Louisbourg, tirée de la tradition orale des environs de Chéticamp, est souvent considérée comme une composition acadienne locale évoquant la capitulation de Louisbourg au 18e siècle. À partir de l’analyse de diverses versions connues de cette complainte, le présent article revient sur cette idée en faisant valoir qu’elle fut inspirée d’une chanson qui circulait auparavant en Europe et qui se rapportait au siège de la ville allemande de Philippsbourg. Au-delà du cas de la prise de Louisbourg, cet article s’interroge sur les multiples déclinaisons de chansons de sièges, leur rôle dans la constitution de cultures militaires partagées et l’héritage mémoriel que ces chansons ont laissé dans la tradition orale francophone.","PeriodicalId":36377,"journal":{"name":"Regioni","volume":"144 1","pages":"38 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85883698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explores the criticism over Swim’s execution and the subsequent debate about capital punishment, including whether hanging was a humane method of executing a condemned prisoner.

Toutefois, Williams ne fut pas pendu. Cet article avance des raisons possibles pour lesquelles le gouvernement colonial décida de commuer la peine de Williams, en établissant un lien entre cette affaire et la dépossession des Mi’kmaq et leur marginalisation subséquente par la société coloniale, ainsi que la « question des terres » qui dominait alors la vie dans l’île. Cette affaire incarnait la prépondérance du droit colonial britannique et le déclin concomitante du droit mi’kmaq dans la colonie.Abstract:In 1839, in the British North American colony of Prince Edward Island, Tom Williams, a Mi’kmaw man, was convicted of murdering another Mi’kmaw man, Joe Louis, and sentenced to hang. Williams, however, did not hang. This article suggests possible reasons the colonial government chose to commute Williams’s sentence, linking the case to the dispossession of the Mi’kmaq and their subsequent marginalization by settler society as well as the “land question” then dominating the Island. The case epitomizes the ascendancy of British colonial law and the concurrent weakening of Mi’kmaw law in the colony.","PeriodicalId":36377,"journal":{"name":"Regioni","volume":"13 1","pages":"39 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86667795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
