| Abstract | Cet article propose une lecture large du contexte dans lequel evolue la societe rurale du Bas-Canada durant la premiere moitie du XIXe siecle. Considerant le territoire detenu en seigneurie, l'auteur constate des changements qui suggerent une evolution vers un nouveau type de societe, de plus en plus marque par la montee du fait urbain et industriel et de nouvelles articulations entre population, habitat, marche et industrie. Ces changements caracterisent surtout la region de Montreal ou domine une importante ville-marche, mais on en retrouve aussi la trace ailleurs dans le territoire, ce qui mene a de nouvelles interpretations de l'economie et de la culture. This article proposes a broader look at the context in which the rural society of Lower Canada evolved during the first half of the nineteenth century. When considering the seigneuries, the author discovered changes suggesting an evolution towards a new kind of society, which was increasingly affected by urban and industrial factors, and by new relationships between populations, habitats, markets and industry. These changes affected mostly the Montreal area, dominated by an important urban market, but one can also find them elsewhere in the province. This brings to light new interpretations of its economy and culture. |
