Breton Contrasts

Breton Contrasts - 2003.
66
Breton culture is contrasted. Geographically, it is a dual culture (Celtic to the west and Romanic to the east); socially, it is for some people an integral part of their way of life, for others an object of residual reproduction or a continually reinvented culture. Moreover, its ambivalence lies in the fact that the origins of its cultural revival evoke both nationalism and postmodern neotribalism, thus refering to Bretons’ aspirations that are contradictory, too: individualistic (but with fusional pulsions), with a mixture of attraction and repulsion towards autonomy.
