This article tackles the conditions in which a unified territorial narrative is built in two regions that are characterized by language revitalization movements (Grenoble & Whaley, 2006). Brittany is home to the Breton and the Gallo minority-language communities. Lusatia is a territory that is claimed by speakers of both Lower and Upper Sorbian, two distinct Slavic languages. Both regional territories claimed by language activists differ from the territorial frame for public action. However, the construction of territorial narratives by language activists cannot be summed up by drawing an alternative territory. Concurrence and power dynamics between language communities shatter this unified vision of the region. Based on the assumption that collective action for minority languages builds the social image of the territory (Avanza et Laferté, 2005) just as much as this social image builds collective action, we will shed light on the militant uses of the various regional narratives and on the political issues that they carry.
