%X Le cas de la caisse d¡¯¨¦conomie des pompiers de Montr¨¦al (premi¨¨re caisse francophone au Qu¨¦bec en 1945) nous permet de mettre en ¨¦vidence une transition et une transformation importantes dans le d¨¦placement des forces de solidarit¨¦ au Qu¨¦bec : le passage de la paroisse au milieu de travail (m¨¦tier/profession) comme formes sociales d¡¯int¨¦gration ¨¦conomique. Dans ce cas d¡¯analyse, le sens d¡¯origine religieuse de l¡¯activit¨¦ coop¨¦rative se voit transpos¨¦ de la paroisse au milieu de travail. Cette ¨¦tude de cas proposera l¡¯analyse d¡¯un discours ¨¦crit : les proc¨¨s-verbaux des assembl¨¦es des membres de cette caisse d¡¯¨¦conomie, de 1945 ¨¤ 1980. Un tel mat¨¦riau nous permettra de prendre la mesure de cette organisation coop¨¦rative, c¡¯est-¨¤-dire les repr¨¦sentations et formes de connaissance relatives aux rapports sociaux construisant l¡¯activit¨¦ ¨¦conomique. L¡¯analyse des proc¨¨s-verbaux de cette caisse d¡¯¨¦conomie est aussi expressive de l¡¯¨¦tat g¨¦n¨¦ral des rapports sociaux de la soci¨¦t¨¦ qu¨¦b¨¦coise. De 1945 ¨¤ 1980, nous voyons se transformer ¨¤ la fois le discours et la forme sociale de l¨¦gitimit¨¦ qui l¡¯enracine. L¡¯analyse se donnera ainsi un objet privil¨¦gi¨¦ : les formes sociales de connaissance qui enracinent l¡¯activit¨¦ ¨¦conomique. A careful observation of Montreal¡¯s Firemen credit union (the first francophone credit union established in the province of Quebec, in 1945) enables us to show that an important transition and transformation took place when the social solidarity moved from the parish to the workplace (work, profession), both being social forms of economic integration. In this case study, the initially religious meaning of the French cooperative financial institutions is shifting from the parish to the workplace.In this paper, we will analyze a written discourse, namely the minutes of the members¡¯ meetings from 1945 to 1980. This material will enable us to assess this cooperative organisation, and more precisely the representations and forms of knowledge it entails about the social relations that construct economic activity. Furthermore, analyzing the meetings¡¯ minutes is also instructive on social relations in general in Quebec society. From 1945 to 1980, both the discourse and the social legitimacy in which it is rooted are evolving steadily. Therefore the analysis will focus on a particular object : the social forms of knowledge in which economic activity is embedded.
