Summary:
La façon de concevoir l’espace et les déplacements ne se révèle pas uniquement en scrutant des plans et des cartes : cela exige de saisir l’imaginaire sous-jacent, la représentation de ce qu’est et devrait être la ville, la banlieue ou la campagne, les identités spatiales et l’appropriation de l’espace, dans leur dimension de mémoire et de projet.

Summary:
La façon de concevoir l’espace et les déplacements ne se révèle pas uniquement en scrutant des plans et des cartes : cela exige de saisir l’imaginaire sous-jacent, la représentation de ce qu’est et devrait être la ville, la banlieue ou la campagne, les identités spatiales et l’appropriation de l’espace, dans leur dimension de mémoire et de projet. Les œuvres de création et en particulier le cinéma de fiction présentent un imaginaire, une vision de l’espace habité et habitable. L’imaginaire de l’espace dans le cinéma québécois est ici exploré dans un itinéraire partant des espaces habités (la ville, la banlieue et la campagne), pour aboutir aux espaces identitaires en passant par les espaces de déplacement et de circulation, la place publique et l’espace public.

Summary:
Chaos and anarchy represent the opposite pole to an ordered life. Nothing works any more, everything is devastated, everything is falling apart. City walls, buildings that once afforded protection, have fallen victim to the excesses of armed conflict. In Ruins, the author delivers a detailed assessment of ruins as a phenomenon in architecture, landscape design, fine art, film and the media. The result is an extraordinarily intense contribution to the theme of transience.
