Title |
Forging Urban Culture: Modernity and Corporeal Experiences in Montreal and Brussels, 1880-1914
|
Abstract |
Through a comparative analysis of Montreal and Brussels, Belgium, at the turn of the twentieth century, the author considers the way city dwellers shaped the social and cultural significance of urban space in terms of "sensorial experiences and bodily practices." His analysis is based on qualitative sources relating to urban life and to the relationship with the city environment during a time when cities underwent intense transformations associated with modernity and industrialisation.
