{"title":"Landscape of Tragedy: Young Death, Rumour, and Speculation in Early 20th-Century Quebec","authors":"E. Kirkland","doi":"10.3138/uhr-2022-0015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/uhr-2022-0015","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT:The beautiful Aileen Hingston and her dashing beau Shirley Davidson set off on a gentle Sunday morning sail in August 1907. Despite being excellent sailors and swimmers, the couple failed to return to the Hingston summer home at Varennes, a small town just south-east of Montreal, where they were expected for lunch. The sudden, mysterious disappearance of these two young Montreal celebrities captivated the public imagination. While people speculated and gossiped about whether this was a suicide pact, a tragic accident, or a staged escape, the family and friends of Aileen and Shirley were caught in the horror of searching the riverbanks and depths of the St. Lawrence for any sign of their loved ones. For five days, the search for the two young people was relentless and when the end arrived, it was the most tragic denouement.This is a story that is dramatic and harrowing, played out across an urban and rural landscape that was rife with palpable tensions emerging where language, religion, gender, and class clashed. The sensationalism of this tragedy, driven by the youthfulness and celebrity status of the central actors, magnified the way narratives competed: one narrative driven by spectacle and speculation, the other driven by devotion and a desire for respectability. When we unpack this story, paying attention not only to the events themselves but also to the conversations that were happening in the public and private spaces of Montreal, we glean invaluable understandings of the ways these tensions were experienced and, in some instances, mitigated. We see, for example, that capital, both social and material, could provide a buffer from certain types of public disgrace, while private moral judgements were harder to combat and often lingered in the whispered realm of gossip, only emerging in written form once time and space had created enough distance from the trauma.RÉSUMÉ:Par un dimanche matin tranquille d'août 1907, la belle Aileen Hingston et son galant cavalier Shirley Davidson levèrent les voiles pour un tour sur les flots. Marins d'expérience et excellents nageurs, les deux jeunes gens pourtant ne revinrent jamais. La disparition soudaine et mystérieuse de ce couple de célébrités montréalaises captiva sur-lechamp l'imaginaire collectif. Et tandis que la foule spéculait et commérait sur l'évènement–pacte de suicide ? accident tragique ? fuite orchestrée ? –, la famille et les proches d'Aileen et de Shirley vivaient l'horreur de devoir fouiller les rives et les profondeurs du Saint-Laurent pour les retrouver. On les chercha sans répit pendant cinq jours, jusqu'au dénouement le plus tragique qui soit. C'est une histoire intensément dramatique et poignante, sur fond de paysages urbain et rural où sont en train d'émerger des tensions palpables entre les langues, les religions, les sexes et les classes. En défaisant soigneusement l'écheveau de cette histoire, démêlant non seulement les évènements eux-mêmes, mais aussi les conversations qu","PeriodicalId":42574,"journal":{"name":"URBAN HISTORY REVIEW-REVUE D HISTOIRE URBAINE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43677921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"\"The Most Distinctively Canadian City\" Representations of the City in Montreal Guidebooks, 1876–1892","authors":"François Lamoureux","doi":"10.3138/uhr-2022-0019","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/uhr-2022-0019","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT:This article explores three guidebooks written in Montreal between 1876 and 1892. They are all similarly constructed and were subsequently reprinted, the latter testifying of their relative success. Most importantly, they allow a glimpse into the ways in which Anglo Montrealers wished their city to be perceived around the world. As such, I argue that they illustrated understandings of history, of urbanization, of the Dominion, and of Montreal that were characteristic of post-Confederation industrial Canadian elites. Following the lines of the framework of identity construction in a settler-colonial setting, I look at these guides as a window into the perceptions and expectations of this \"adolescent\" Canadian collectivity. Furthermore, I demonstrate that these guidebook writers wished to imbue the materiality of the city with historical significance. In doing so, they instilled a sense of progress and modernity to the landscape, while symbolically laying claim to distinct urban places. In fact, these guidebooks also enlighten us on the means we use to provide a sense of self, whether individual or collective, to the city. Borrowing from historical geography theorist Brian Osborne, this paper shows how the Canadianness that these booklets promoted relied on interconnections based on social mores, values, and ideas. Places are also conceptualized as the repository for meta-narratives of the nation. By situating these subplots in space, they cultivate an awareness—an \"a-where-ness\"—of the collective identity. Indeed, the narrative poetics of the guidebooks were grounded in a place whose inhabitants and visitors dove into the story mid-stream, providing social continuity.RÉSUMÉ:Cet article se penche sur trois guides touristiques écrits à Montréal entre 1876 et 1892. Leur structure est similaire et ils ont tous été réimprimés à plusieurs reprises, ce qui témoigne d'un certain succès. Leur intérêt principal, toutefois, est d'offrir un point de vue sur la manière dont les Anglo-Montréalais souhaitaient que leur ville soit perçue à travers le monde. Je soutiens ainsi que les trois ouvrages illustrent une certaine compréhension de l'histoire, de l'urbanisation, du Dominion et de Montréal caractérisés par l'industrialisation canadienne dans l'après-Confédération. Suivant les balises théoriques de la construction identitaire en contexte de colonialisme de peuplement, je considère ces guides comme une fenêtre ouverte sur les perceptions et les attentes de cette collectivité canadienne « adolescente ». Je montre en outre que les auteur·es de ces guides voulaient insuffler à la matérialité de la ville une importance historique et que, ce faisant, ils ou elles instillaient dans le paysage une impression de progrès et de modernité, tout en s'appropriant symboliquement certains lieux urbains particuliers. En fait, ces guides nous éclairent sur les moyens que nous employons pour donner à la ville un sentiment de soi, qu'il soit individuel ou collectif.

In this micro history, I examine the degree of differentiation amongst three widows operating modest businesses located in highly trafficked Montreal neighbourhoods, in particular, the composition of their domestic capital, the business strategies they employed, and if they achieved social mobility. We know from earlier studies that movables were significant assets for earning a living, often critical to the survival of a widowed, separated, or abandoned woman. My argument goes further. I contend that women attempted, and some were able, to convert movables into immovable property, assets that were more secure and versatile. While publicans displayed a wide array of skills, statuses, and achievements, these three cases focus on the critical threshold, that interesting set of people at the boundary, aware of and struggling to achieve property ownership.RÉSUMÉ:Les inventaires notariés permettent d'analyser les intérieurs de débits de boissons, l'image que les tenanciers et tenancières cherchaient à projeter de leurs entreprises et d'eux-mêmes, ainsi que le type de clientèle qu'ils souhaitaient attirer. Dans cette micro-histoire, j'examine le degré de différenciation entre trois veuves exploitant de modestes entreprises situées dans des quartiers montréalais très fréquentés, en particulier la composition de leur capital domestique, les stratégies commerciales qu'elles ont employées et si elles ont atteint la mobilité sociale. Nous savons par des études antérieures que les biens mobiliers étaient des actifs importants pour gagner leur vie, souvent essentiels à la survie d'une femme veuve, séparée ou abandonnée. Mon argument va plus loin. Je soutiens que les femmes ont tenté de, et certaines ont pu, convertir des biens mobiliers en biens immobiliers, c'est à dire en actifs plus sûrs et polyvalents. Alors que ces femmes détenaient des autorisations pour tenir des débits de boissons et qu'elles affichaient un large éventail de compétences, de statuts et de réalisations, ces trois cas représentent cet ensemble intéressant de personnes au seuil de l'accès à la propriété, consciente de leur situation et luttant pour l'améliorer.","PeriodicalId":42574,"journal":{"name":"URBAN HISTORY REVIEW-REVUE D HISTOIRE URBAINE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69415712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Cachez ce déchet que je ne saurais voir : la création et la municipalisation d'un service de gestion des ordures dans une ville de Montréal en mutation, 1868–1920","authors":"C. Richard","doi":"10.3138/uhr-2022-0018","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/uhr-2022-0018","url":null,"abstract":"RÉSUMÉ:Avant 1870, Montréal ne possède pas de service de collecte des déchets. C'est donc aux citoyens eux-mêmes qu'incombe la disposition de leurs rebuts aux endroits désignés, et ce, à leurs frais. Or, plusieurs préfèrent jeter leurs déchets sur la voie publique et dans les cours d'eau. Alors que la population montréalaise augmente rapidement au gré de l'industrialisation, ces pratiques menacent la santé publique. Ces solutions individuelles ne permettant plus de garder la ville dans un état sanitaire acceptable, les autorités instaurent un système contractuel de ramassage des ordures, toutefois peu efficace à ses débuts. En effet, les entrepreneurs sous-estiment les capitaux, le matériel et les employés requis pour nettoyer une ville de la taille de Montréal. Cette période d'instabilité prend fin avec l'entrée en scène de l'entrepreneur William Mann, dont la longévité de l'entente avec la Ville de Montréal, qui s'étend de 1877 à 1893, tranche par rapport à la brièveté des contrats précédents. Mais si Mann est le seul entrepreneur capable de prendre en charge l'ensemble du cycle de gestion des ordures, il enfreint ouvertement plusieurs clauses de son contrat, au grand dam de la population. Les critiques portées envers le système contractuel par des citoyens, des journalistes, et certains élus poussent les pouvoirs publics à municipaliser le service de gestion des déchets en 1893. Si la Ville dessert les citadins d'une manière jugée plus satisfaisante, elle a tout de même de la difficulté à s'affranchir des défis géographiques, démographiques, et financiers inhérents à la gestion des ordures.ABSTRACT:Before 1870, Montreal did not have a waste management service. It was therefore the responsibility of the citizens themselves to dispose of their garbage in designated areas, at their own expense. Many preferred to throw their waste on public roads and in waterways. As Montreal's population grew rapidly with industrialization, such practices became a threat to public health. Because individual solutions no longer allowed the city to maintain an acceptable sanitary condition, the authorities introduced a contractual system of garbage collection. But it was not very effective at the beginning, as entrepreneurs underestimated the capital, equipment, and number of employees required to clean up a city the size of Montreal. This period of instability ended when entrepreneur William Mann entered the game, the longevity of his agreement with the City of Montreal, which lasted from 1877 to 1893, contrasting with the brevity of previous contracts. But while Mann was the only contractor capable of taking charge of the entire waste management cycle, he openly violated several clauses of his contract, to the detriment of the population. Criticism of the contractual system by citizens, journalists and some elected officials led the public authorities to municipalize the waste management service in 1893.
