Cet article interroge le processus de patrimonialisation qui advient à travers la création du site Internet consacré à Léo Gravelle, ancien joueur de l’équipe de hockey professionnel Canadien de Montréal. Ce site Internet, créé par un des fils de Léo Gravelle, est devenu un lieu alternatif pour faire circuler et rendre accessible le récit de sa carrière de hockeyeur professionnel, et ce par la diffusion de ses photos personnelles, de coupures de journaux et autres souvenirs personnels. En accordant une grande visibilité au passé de Léo, en facilitant un accès public à ses archives personnelles et en assurant leur préservation future, la création de ce site Internet met en lumière des pratiques de patrimonialisation réalisées à petite échelle, au croisement de pratiques issues du patrimoine non-officiel, numérique et familial. Tiré d’une analyse du site Internet et d’une entrevue réalisée avec les Gravelle, cet article explore comment le processus de patrimonialisation s’est constitué – et transformé - par les possibilités fournies par les technologies numériques, de même que par les liens familiaux qui sont au cœur du projet. L’analyse des pratiques de patrimonialisation numérique initiées par les membres d’une même famille et survenant au sein du milieu du sport-spectacle et dans une culture de consommation, permet alors d’ouvrir et de défier les façons dont le patrimoine est compris et établi. |
