The return of Canon Lionel Groulx despite Pierre Vallières : A palinode in the 1970s ?
This study seeks to highlight a resurging focus on Lionel Groulx in the social discourse of the 1970s. Starting with Scorpions associés (1978) by Pierre Vallières and the discourse surrounding the centenary celebration of the birth of Canon Groulx, we present two levels of reading of this change of events : political and patrimonial. Thus, the legacy of Groulx left its imprint even in texts of those who, such as former Felquiste and Péquiste Vallières, sought to reject and denounce his presence on the political and intellectual scene in Quebec.
