| Title |
Elephant in the City: An Analysis of Visual Culture and the Aesthetic Elsewhere of Indian Restaurants in Montreal, QC
|
| Abstract |
The author undertook a comparative analysis of the visual culture of Indian restaurants in two neighbourhoods on the island of Montreal (Park Extension and the Plateau). She describes visual culture as that which constitutes the dialectical and dynamic exchange of visual knowledge in social, cultural and urban contexts. Through photographing and analyzing the street front aesthetics of these restaurants, the author explores the role of the visual in projecting "ethnicized" identities that engage the imaginations and expectations of culturally and historically positioned gazes within the context of consumption, culinary tourism, and place branding.
