Integracion, valors e valorizacion dins la transmission de l’occitan en Calandreta

Abstract

This article presents the most significant results of a study of linguistic policies in the Occitan domain based on a fieldwork conducted in the Calandretas association schools in three Occitan cities. This contribution focuses on the influence of Calandretas in the valorisation and transmission of the language, emphasising the particularities of this glòttòpolitical action "from below". This particularity resides in particular in a partial revernacularisation of Occitan and a pedagogical and linguistic praxis centred on values stemming from libertarian pedagogy. Based on the analysis of representations and linguistic uses, the study shows that the transmission of Occitan through these schools is a three-dimensional process involving motivation through the association of language practice with certain socio-political values ; integration into a community of practice ; and the symbolic and economic valorisation
