Title
La représentation des sports et des loisirs dans la presse montréalaise entre 1875 et 1890: la construction d'une identité canadienne
Abstract
An examination as to how entertainment was used to consolidate Canadian identity in Montreal between 1875 and 1890. In particular, the author argues that sports and leisure were intrinsically associated with notions of patriotism, democracy, and love the outdoors during the period under review. Using accounts from the Montreal Daily Witness, the Canadian Illustrated News, La Presse, Le Minerve and Le Canadien the author explains how sports evolved from a valorization of the colonial roots of the country, to an idealization of militarism by sports clubs' athletes, to the involvement of these athletes in Canadian diplomacy.
