    • Sugar shacking in maple’s territory

      Abstract:
      In 2021, the Québec government gives to Le temps des sucres (that we could translate as Maple syrup seasons) the status of intangible heritage. Maple syrup, and its derivative like sugar and toffee, play an important role in the heritage of Quebec, as still today its the main producers of maple syrup in the world with a little over 10 million gallons per years which account to 64% of the world production. As a heritage practice, we could expect that the experience of the sugar party at the sugar shack would develop into a signature tourism experience, but today it is still linked with the tourism industry in subtle and discreet ways. The conference will explore the assemblage (Deleuze & Guattari, 1980) of the sugar shack with tourism, territory and history/tradition.
