SUMMARY:Hugh Hazelton\, Université Concordia : Québec’s New Latinité: 
 Latin American and Quebec Literature Link up in the Twenty-First Century
DESCRIPTION:VideoOver the past half-century\, Quebec has strengthened its t
 ies with LatinAmerica and concentrated on bringing the two cultures into c
 loser contact andcooperation. Much of this rapprochement has been due to t
 he increasingimmigration of Spanish-speakers to Montreal and other major c
 ities of theprovince\, where they have generally moved into the French-spe
 aking sphere ofcultural and political life. Spanish is now the de facto th
 ird language ofMontreal and is the most widely taught foreign language. Qu
 ebec has also movedto reinforce its ties with Latin America through cultur
 al exchanges andreciprocal artists’\, playwrights’\, and writers’ re
 sidencies with a number ofcountries. The province’s publishing industry 
 has also taken the lead in thetranslation and publication of works from ab
 road in Canada\, an activity thatCanadian publishers — traditionally ori
 ented to domestic translation betweenthe two national languages — have i
 n the past left to larger British\,American\, and French firms\, and most 
 of the latest foreign works publishedhave been translations from Spanish. 
 Quebec cultural agencies and artists havebeen anxious to move beyond the 3
 30 million English-speakers that surroundthem and establish and promote ti
 es with Latin America in order to assumetheir own Latinité and even Amér
 icanité\, or place in the Americas\, and the newSpanish-language literatu
 re that has developed in the province\, la literaturahispano-quebequense\,
  has played a key role in bridging the two cultures andliterary traditions
