项目摘要

This research examines the relevance of imperial presence in Canadian society and its transformation from the late 19th century to the early 1970s, taking Empire Day as a clue: what kind of rhetoric was used to explain Canadian ties with the British Empire and how it changes in Empire Day celebrations over time. Analyzing mainly Empire Day booklets published by the Ministry of Education of the Province of Ontario where Empire Day originated and was first observed in 1899, the research elucidates the following points.1. During the first half of the 20th century, imperial contribution was important for Canadian autonomy and the Loyalist tradition as a usable past was emphasized.2. Even after the World War Two, the rhetoric that the British Empire skillfully controlled the various ethnic and religious groups was emphasized and Canada was regarded as a microcosm of the Empire, which suggested that a sense of belong to the Empire was still important for national unity of Canada with overwhelming non-British immigrants.3. The conventional perspective of the 20th Canada: 'from the British Empire to the United States' doesn't necessarily hold true of the mentalities among Canadians. As late as the early 1960s, Canadian imperial ties were still relevant.Furthermore, this research suggests that an imperial approach which is unpopular in recent Canadian historiography can be useful to the historical analysis of multiculturalism in Canada.

本研究探讨了帝国在加拿大社会中的存在及其从世纪末到20世纪70年代初的转变的相关性，以帝国日为线索：什么样的修辞被用来解释加拿大与大英帝国的关系，以及它如何随着时间的推移在帝国日庆祝活动中发生变化。主要分析帝国日的起源和第一次观察在1899年由安大略省的教育部出版的帝国日小册子，研究阐明了以下几点。在世纪上半叶，帝国的贡献对加拿大的自治很重要，保皇党传统作为一个可用的过去被强调。即使在第二次世界大战之后，大英帝国巧妙地控制了各种种族和宗教团体的言论也被强调，加拿大被视为帝国的缩影，这表明帝国的归属感对于加拿大的民族团结仍然很重要，因为非英国移民占压倒性地位。20世纪加拿大的传统观点：“从大英帝国到美国”并不一定适用于加拿大人的心态。直到20世纪60年代初，加拿大的帝国关系仍然是相关的。此外，这项研究表明，一个帝国的方法，这是不受欢迎的，在最近的加拿大史学可能是有用的历史分析的多元文化在加拿大。
