La série Frontier est un drame historique inspiré d’un imaginaire ambigu de l’Amérique du Nord à la fin des années 1700. La série met en scène des colonisateurs anglais, irlandais, écossais, français et américains qui coopèrent avec des nations autochtones et les instrumentalisent pour saper le monopole du commerce des fourrures de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson. À travers des épigraphes et des représentations des personnages afro-canadiens ainsi que des Premières Nations, la série engendre des débats et controverses sur la représentation de l’identité canadienne au-delà des « deux solitudes ». Cet article analyse comment la série Frontier cherche à multiplier « les solitudes » à travers une chaîne d’interactions et de conflits. |
