| Descripción: | Abstract: As information and communications technologies (ICTs) become an increasingly important part of the Canadian social, cultural, and economic fabric, the question of how such technologies interact with national autonomy and with the nationalist impulse emerges once again. This article considers a critical moment of another era in which technology's relationship to nationalism became a matter of public and intellectual discourse. The missile crisis of 1962 in Canada highlighted the conflicting prospects for importing foreign technology while maintaining national autonomy. George Grant and Ramsay Cook took opposing views in this debate. The Grant-Cook dialectic is proposed as a means by which a contemporary approach may be developed to the relationship between the widespread use of ICTs and the potential for nationalism in Canada. Résumé : À mesure que les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) jouent un rôle de plus en plus important dans les domaines social, culturel et économique au Canada, la question de la manière dont ces technologies interagissent avec l'autonomie nationale et l'impulsion nationaliste émerge à nouveau. Cet article considère un moment critique d'une autre époque pendant laquelle le rapport de la technologie au nationalisme est devenu un sujet de débat public et intellectuel. Au Canada, la crise des missiles de 1962 a mis en relief les objectifs contradictoires d'importer des technologies étrangères tout en maintenant l'autonomie nationale. George Grant et Ramsay Cook ont pris des positions opposées dans ce débat. La dialectique Grant-Cook est proposée comme moyen de développer une approche contemporaine pour étudier le rapport entre l'usage très répandu des TIC et le potentiel du nationalisme canadien. |
