Vertical Mosaic among the Elites: The New Imagery Revisited*

La parution de Vertical Mosaic (1965) par J. Porter, Canadian Corporate Elite (1975) par W, Clement et State Elite (1980) par D. Olsen a provoqué dans les milieux universitaires un vif débat sur la surreprésentation des ethnies britanniques et la sous-représentation des ethnies française et “autres” au sein des élites canadiennes. Cependant, dans une série d'articles récemment parus, R. Ogmundson et J. McLaughlin ont mis en doute la thèse très répandue selon laquelle il existe dans la société canadienne un lien étroit entre l'origine ethnique et 1'appartenance à une élite. L'auteur de cet article examine les données avancées par Ogmundson et McLaughlin (1992) et démontre, en faisant une corrélation avec la composition ethnique de la population canadienne, que leur nouvelle interpretation peut induire en erreur. L'analyse fait valoir en effet une predominance stable des ethnies britanniques de 1935 à 1987 et ce, pour chaque catégorie des élites. Elle met aussi en évidence le fait que, conformément aux théses de Porter, Clement et Olsen, les ethnies française et “autres” ont augmenté leur représentation au sein des elites, mais n'ont pas atteint un niveau de representation proportionnel à leur nombre. The over-representation of British and the under-representation of French and “other” ethnic groups amongst the Canadian elites has been a part of the Canadian academic consciousness since the publication of Porter's Vertical Mosaic (1965), Clement's Canadian Corporate Elite (1975) and Olsen's State Elite (1980). Recently, a series of articles by Ogmundson and Ogmundson/McLaughlin has raised doubts about the vertical ethnic distribution of power among elites, suggesting that conventional wisdom should be abandoned. This paper uses the data provided by Ogmundson and McLaughlin (1992), standardizes them to the ethnic composition of the Canadian population, and shows that the new imagery provided by these authors is misleading. The analysis demonstrates a stable pattern of British dominance from 1935 to 1987 for each category of elites. It also reveals that, consistent with Porter, Clement and Olsen, the French and “other” ethnic groups have improved their participation at the elite levels but remain under-represented in relation to their populations.

Translating Nations: Actor-Network Theory in/and Canada*

Dans l'examen des problématiques de l«identité nationale» au Canada, la sociologie critique est de plus en plus tournée vers l'analyse discursive, aboutissant à des conclusions nuancées et complexes. Or, une telle approche risque d'escamoter d'autres analyses, tout aussi utiles, qui attribuent à la technologie un rôle central dans le processus de «nation-building» au Canada. Cet article explore la sociologie de la traduction, aussi appelée théorie d'acteur-réseau, et suggère que l'emprunt d'une telle approche se prêterait à une analyse plus complète des «questions nationales» du Canada et du Québec - analyse qui intégrerait les catégories du social et de la technique. Canadian critical sociology draws increasingly from discourse analysis to work out questions of national identity in Canada, yielding complex and nuanced results, but not sufficiently engaging with other work privileging technology as a central question in Canadian nation-building. This paper explores the sociology of translation, also known as actor-network theory, and suggests that such an approach might usefully be taken up in order to provide a more complete analysis of the “national questions” of Canada and Québec that integrates both social and technological categories.

Trends in the ethnic origins of Canadian elites: the decline of the BRITS?*

Depuis la publication de La mosaïque verticale de John Porter en 1965, la vision préominante du Canada est celie d'un pays caractérisé par une forte stratification ethnique, surtout au niveau des élites, qui seraient elles-mêmes dominées de façn érasante par des personnes d'origine britannique. Or, des recherches ultérieures sur l'ensemble de la population canadienne démontrent que la stratification ethnique est moins marquée qu'on le croyait; au contraire, elle est plutôt faible et tend même à s'estomper. D'où l'intérêt de reprendre l'analyse des élites canadiennes. L'auteur de cette communication présente les données originales de Porter, fait la synthèse des résultats d'autres recherches pertinentes et décrit les données les plus récentes sur l'évolution des origines ethniques des élites au Canada. The conventional wisdom concerning ethnicity in Canada has been dominated by the imagery of The Vertical Mosaic published in 1965 by John Porter. This conventional wisdom maintains that Canada is characterized by pronounced ethnic stratification especially at the level of elites which are thought to be dominated overwhelmingly by those of British origin. Suhequent research at the level of the general population has shown that ethnic stratification was not aa great as originally thought, is minimal, and is in decline. Consequently it is of interest to re-examine the situation regarding Canadian elites. The original data of Porter are presented. The findings of other relevant research are outlined. New data on trends in the ethnic origins of Canadian elites are reported.

Us,Them, and Others: Reflections on Canadian Multiculturalism and National Identity at the Turn of the Twenty‐First Century

La Conférence John Porter, effectuée lors de la rencontre annuelle de la Société canadienne de sociologie à Victoria en 2013, se base sur le livre Us, Them and Others : Pluralism and National Identity in Diverse Societies (Winter, 2011). En intégrant les résultats d'une analyse discursive des journaux canadiens en langue anglaise pendant les années 1990, et à travers un cadre théorique inspiré de la sociologie wébérienne, le livre propose d'envisager le pluralisme comme une série de relations triangulaires dynamiques, où le compromis entre des groupes inégaux – “us” et “other”‐ est amené à faire sens à cause de la confrontation avec l'autrui réel ou imaginé (“them”). La conférence débute par un résumé de la contribution théorique, puis explique comment le multiculturalisme a été consolidé en tant que discours dominant au Canada dans les années 1990. Par la suite, les changements subis par l'identité canadienne multiculturelle au début du 21^e siècle sont discutés. The John Porter Lecture at the annual meeting of the Canadian Sociological Association in Victoria 2013 draws upon my book Us, Them, and Others: Pluralism and National Identity in Diverse Societies. Incorporating the findings from an analysis of Canadian English‐language newspaper discourses during the 1990s into a theoretical framework inspired by Weberian sociology, the book argues that pluralism is best understood as a dynamic set of triangular relations where the compromise between unequal groups—“us” and “others”—is rendered meaningful through the confrontation with real or imagined outsiders (“them”). The lecture summarizes the theoretical contribution and explains how multiculturalism became consolidated in dominant Canadian discourses in the late 1990s. The lecture then discusses changes to Canadian multicultural identity at the beginning of the twenty‐first century.
