| Descripción: | Abstract: This article examines the rhetorical character of CBC Newsworld’s 2003 “re-trial” of Métis leader Louis Riel. Specifically, it considers how the broadcast was presented as a gesture of reconciliation toward the Métis but was received by Métis spokespersons as racist or colonizing. The broadcast is analyzed through Robert Hariman’s conception of the popular trial as an occasion for the development of argumentative resources to deliberate on problematic issues within public culture. The broadcast and its reception are then analyzed critically to highlight the tensions between identity, recognition, and reconciliation. Résumé: Cet essai cerne les enjeux rhétoriques de la mise en scène en 2003 d’un nouveau procès juridique de Louis Riel par CBC Newsworld. Il fait état du fait que ce procès fut conçu comme un geste de réconciliation mais fut interprété par les porte-parole des métis comme raciste ou colonisant. Selon cette analyse, l’émission contribue à une rhétorique de « procès populaire » qui, selon Robert Hariman, offre des ressources argumentatives pour délibérer les controverses socioculturelles. Par la suite, le programme et sa réception font l’objet d’une discussion critique portant sur les tensions entre l’identité, la reconnaissance et la réconciliation. |
