This article prolongs a reflection first led by Claude Duchet on the ideological dimension of objects in the realist novel. It is a matter of, with the help of the Material Culture Studies, defining a material ideology, that is to say a formal language of objects through which they vehicle sociocultural values and significations. We will show then that the realist novel is a privileged place of storytelling and reflection on the rising material ideologies. More particularly, the workmanship scenes are the places where staples and the dominant ideology are produced. We will focus on two examples from Le Ventre de Paris (1873) and L’Éducation sentimentale (1869).
