Title |
La ville cosmopolite en exposition : une figure d’utopie urbaine pour rêver et créer du consensus?
|
Abstract |
The author analyzes an exhibition held at Montreal's Pointe-à-Callière museum of archaeology and history titled "Montréal Love Stories – The Cultural Connection." The author points out that the exhibition showed an image of the city, an image of a cosmopolitan city through love between its inhabitants, between groups and between these groups and the city. She notes that the exhibition – an institutionalized media which is used to build consensus and inspire dreams – depicts an ideal city. The questions she analyzes are: What are the landscapes and the urban forms of this cosmopolitan city, between an urban utopia and the dwellers’ practices? How did the exhibition approach the urban ethnocultural diversity through identification process? How did it produce an image of Montreal for its inhabitants and for tourists? Could this exhibition be read like an ideal program to develop a city that is both a real metropolis and a utopia ?
