- Abstract
This article explores some of the questions related to the evolution of cultural life in Montreal during the first half of the twentieth century. It sets out to define three main eléménts : the subject itself, the spatial context, and the periodization. Thus, the first task is to assign a meaning to « cultural life » and to determine the extent of the practices that make it up. The second is to understand the complex factors affecting how Montreal was transformed into the main focus of French-Canadian culture, at the expense of older and more dispersed practices. Finally, the article turns to defining the temporal boundaries that give shape to this movement and, in particular, to understanding why a trend recognized at the end of the nineteenth century did not really come to fruition for another half century, during the 1940s.
