Title
Locating Cultural Activity: The 'Main' as Chronotope and Heterotopia
Abstract
An examination of Montreal's St-Laurent Boulevard, commonly referred to as "the Main", as a place of and for cultural activity in Montreal. The author points out that over the last century the Main has been a kind of liminal zone where the cultural geography of linguistic, ethnic and class differences has intersected with the successive developments of leisure-cultural practices and cultural industry equipment.
