For thirty years, Moncton’s Centre culturel Aberdeen has been known to be a francophone space, dedicated to Acadian artistic creation and collaboration. In the present text, I will describe how this center serves as reclaimed territory in a minority setting, where English is the legitimate language on the local linguistic marketplace. I will show how the Centre, an Acadian cultural institution, contributes to the construction of an Acadian society, through regionalization, mediation between francophones and anglophones, and the establishment of a public voice for Acadian social actors. Then, I will regard the discourse of these social actors vis-à-vis their participation in the Canadian francophone artistic market. I propose that the challenges that the Centre faces in the era of globalization are emblematic of those experienced by other institutions and social actors in minority societies in Francophone Canada.
