Résumé anglais The development of the Information Highway (IH) poses many questions about the representation of social organisation. Among these, the representation of ruralHy is particularly destined to be redefined in relation with the dominant imaginary. This promotes more the ideas of universalism, internationalism and the globalism of the city than the tradionalism of the rural reference. Our paper explores this phenomenon, particularly the construction and the expression (in discourse) of this imaginary in Quebec society. Basing our arguments on a conceptual framework. positioning the IH inside a socio-spatial reference, we pose some questions about the possible integration of these different imaginaries, their impacts on the rural identity and the potential of society to integrate them.
