On Being Surprised: By New France’s Card Money, for Example
This article tries to disrupt conventional views about New France’s card money and about money in general. Treated as a quirky footnote to Canadian history, card money is usually seen as a monetary expedient for solving a problem of coin shortage. Money itself is often seen as a transparent category occupying an autonomous sphere of horizontal exchange, disconnected from politics and social relations. Money is also one of the last bastions of Eur…

I Wish It Were That Simple: Historical Perspectives on Commemoration and Memory
Revisiting John Law and his Système
“Economic Leviathan”: Arnaud Orain marshalled the felicitous phrase in his recent book La politique du merveilleux (18), and it goes a long way toward capturing the extraordinary reconfiguration of French commercial, fiscal, financial, and imperial arrangements that was envisaged under the Regency of Philippe d’Orléans. At its apex in 1720, a single joint stock company had acquired exclusive access to the vast majority of France’s global trade an…
Alexis de Tocqueville en pays « sauvage »
Le présent article étudie les écrits d’Alexis de Tocqueville sur les autochtones de l’Amérique du Nord. Alors qu’on ne compte plus aujourd’hui les travaux ayant été consacrés à Tocqueville, ses propos sur les peuples autochtones sont restés pour ainsi dire dans l’ombre du reste de son oeuvre, comme si ne s’y jouait pas, là autant et peutêtre plus qu’ailleurs, la question fondamentale qui l’habitait lors de son passage en Amérique : celle de la di…

Où est la Nouvelle-France1
Nous posons une question apparemment anodine, « Où est la Nouvelle-France », afin d’explorer le rapport complexe entre souveraineté et territorialité qui prévalait aux XVI e , XVII e et XVIII e siècles, et ce, des deux côtés de l’Atlantique. De nos jours, les historiens imaginent souvent une Nouvelle-France bornée, sans pour autant être d’accord sur ses frontières, qui varient au gré des imaginaires nationaux imposés au passé. Les cartes et récit…

"Following "The Middle Ground
HE great historian, writes Paul Ricoeur in Time and Narrative, is the one who succeeds in rendering acceptable a new way of following history. These words, which seem at first to have the whiff of an odd translation, came to mind more than once as I contemplated writing the final contribution to this Forum on The Middle Ground. They came to mind particularly as I thought about what kind of dent, if any, or what manner of meander, had been dug int…

The Cost of Early Canada's Native Alliances: Reality and Scarcity's Rhetoric
R 5 ECENT work in Canadian history has clarified the importance of native alliances to France's imperial claims in North America. From its early seventeenth-century beginnings as a venture in furs, Canada depended on Indians as hunters, traders, and guides. As French policy increasingly viewed the colony and its hinterland as strategic bulwarks against British expansion, colonial officials sought partners in war, not just in trade. Indian militar…
Agriculture within the Seigneurial Régime of Eighteenth‐Century Canada: Some Thoughts on the Recent Literature
IN AN ATFEMVI' to untangle competing analyses of the rural economy in early America, Allan Kulikoff notes with some relief that historians do partly agree in their descriptions: the self-sufficient farmer does not appear in account books, probate inventories, and tax records, and rural households eem instead to have exchanged both among themselves and within markets near and far.' But when the patterns of exchange are analysed, the agreement coll…
