Summary:
Contributors to this volume strive to uncover architectural alternatives to simplistic models based on concepts of aesthetics, technology, or sociology. Seventeen essays explore historical topics ranging from antiquity, with a study of the Roman Colosseum; through early Renaissance subjects, such as the treatises of Luca Pacioli on architecture; through to the modern era and explorations on topics ranging from seventeenth-century Amsterdam to architectural insights that can be found in the works of the poet and mathematician Lewis Carroll. Authors examining contemporary issues seek to explicate the spatial poetics of architecture by invoking other artistic disciplines. Essays in this group include a discussion of the accomplishments of Gordon Matta-Clark, a reading of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, and an analysis of the implications of ethical/formal questions in the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein for architecture. Contributors include Caroline Dionne (Université de Québec à Montréal), Mark Dorrian (University of Edinburgh), Michael Emerson (University of New South Wales), Marc Glaudemans (University of Technology), George Hersey (emeritus, Yale University), Robert Kirkbride (design director, Studiolo), Joanna Merwood (doctoral dissertation, Princeton University), Michel Moussette (Ph.D. at the Université de Montréal), Juhani Pallasmaa (architect, Finland, emeritus Washington University in St. Louis), Alberto Pérez-Gómez (McGill University), David Theodore (McGill University), and Dorian Yurchuk (architect, New York City).

Summary:
La photographie et la réalité sont intimement liées, et pourtant, que l'on se fasse photographier, que l'on produise ou que l'on regarde une image photographique, la photographie demeure un acte d'imagination. À travers neuf textes de fond originaux, des historiens de l'art et des théoriciens de la culture rompent avec la tradition photographique pour explorer le rôle crucial de l'imagination en photographie, depuis les portraits de studio du XIXe siècle jusqu'aux innovations numériques du XXIe siècle. Prenant appui sur les vingt-neuf expositions du Mois de la Photo à Montréal 2005, Image & Imagination présente les travaux de soixante artistes contemporains en provenance du Canada, de l'Australie, des États-Unis, de la France, de l'Angleterre, d'Haïti et du Japon, dont Marc Audette, Iain Baxter, Diane Borsato, Alain Bublex, Michel Campeau, Destiny Deacon, Evergon, Denis Farley, Adad Hannah, David Hlynsky, Tracey Moffatt, Shana et Robert ParkeHarrison, Lynne Marsh, Polixeni Papapetrou, Martin Parr, Ramona Ramlochand, Carolee Schneemann, Michael Snow et Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie. On retrouve, parmi les auteurs, Geoffrey Batchen (City University of New York), Catherine Bédard (Centre culturel canadien, Paris), Fae Brauer (University of New South Wales), Francine Dagenais (Université McGill), Martyn Jolly (Australian National University), Petra Halkes (Université Concordia), Martha Langford (Université Concordia), Kirsty Robertson (Queen's University) et Ian Walker (University of Wales College).

Summary:
The practice of comparison is implicit in every act of imagining, representing, and studying urban experience. "Urban enigmas" contributes to recent interdisciplinary interest in cities by introducing comparison as a key methodology for urban cultural analysis. Contributors, part of the collaborative research project "The Culture of Cities : Montreal, Toronto, Dublin, and Berlin", address theoretical and methodological aspects of comparison, while case-studies examine the mutually constituted identities of Montreal and Toronto through examples of travel writing, public art, film festivals, theatrical performances, diasporic communities, ethnic festivals, and urban media. Comparison is shown to be not only something performed by experts but a deeply embedded, everyday social practice that contributes to the mutable identities of cities. "Urban enigmas" demonstrates that the accumulation of urban actions, encounters, experiences, and relationships create distinctive patterns that make it possible to recognize the particularity of cities. Contributors include Alan Blum (York), Kieran Bonner (St. Jerome's), Jenny Burman (McGill), Jean-François Côté (Université du Québec à Montréal), Michael Darroch (York), Nicholas DeMaria Harney (Western Australia), Kevin Dowler (York & Toronto), Dipti Gupta (Dawson College), Janine Marchessault (York), Jean-François Morissette (Université du Québec à Montréal), and Greg Nielsen (Concordia).
