À la vue d’une soucca. Partage de l’espace et controverses dans le quartier d’Outremont à Montréal
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the public conversation that arose when a change in the zoning by-law concerning sukkahs was proposed in the Montreal suburb of Outremont, focussing in particular on the spatial matrix of the controversy. The author points out that for some citizens, these structures epitomize in fact the spatialization of a religious practice, while for others they represent a threat to the borough’s architectural heritage and beauty, in addition to posing a risk to safety. However, he notes, these views are expressed quite differently depending on whether the residents – Hassidim and non-Hassidim – are speaking publicly at meetings of the town council or in private conversations. Starting from the discordance between these two modes of discourse, the author consider how this public discussion eventually came to crystallize around attitudes regarding the spatial and legal aspects, and how the avoidance of religion and the challenges of cohabitation have recently played out in Outremont and the province of Quebec.
