The study looks at how these fields changed over time within the French regime, the British regime, and in Canada since 1867, and how they converged through trial and error into a Canadian civil culture. The authors establish a triangulation of fields of discourse formed by law (as a technical discourse system), rhetoric (as a public discourse system), and irony (as a means of accessing the public realm as the key pillars upon which a civil culture in Canada took form) in order to scrutinize the process of creating a civil culture. By presenting case studies ranging from the legal implications of the transition from French to English law to the continued importance of the Louis Riel case and trial, the authors provide detailed analyses of how communication practices form a common institutional culture. As scholars of communication and rhetoric, Dorland and Charland have written a challenging examination of the history of Canadian governance and the central role played by legal and other discourses in the formation of civil culture. 606 $aCivil society$zCanada 606 $aLaw$zCanada$xHistory 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 676 $a971 700 $aDorland$b Michael$01033333 702 $aCharland$b Maurice Rene? 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456209303321 996 $aLaw, rhetoric and irony in the formation of Canadian civil culture$92451821 997 $aUNINA
