Title
La perception des marginaux par les bourgeois de Québec au XIXe siècle : l'exemple des journaux, 1840-1880
Abstract
The author examines Quebec City bourgeois' view of the marginal elements of society between 1840 and 1880. The main sources for the study are Quebec City's five most important newspapers for the period: the Morning Chronicle, the Quebec Mercury, the Quebec Gazette, the Journal de Québec and Le Canadien. The author explores various elements that structured the bourgeois view, such as social class, age, gender and race. Each of these elements were analyzed by examining three forms of bourgeois discourse identified by historians of marginality: the religious and philanthropic discourse, the reforming discourse and the social control or social regulation discourse. The author demonstrates that poverty was the major consideration in the marginalization of many people, that women and children were often treated differently and that strangers and people of different races and religions were those who most experienced the ostracism of being on the margins of society.
