Noah’s ark, however, will forever be haunted by what it leaves to the rising waters so that the world can begin again. In Noah’s Arkive, Jeffrey J.

Tours Inside the Snow Globe: Ottawa Monuments and National Belonging
ISBN: 9781771126021 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The toppling of monuments globally in the last few years has highlighted the potency of monuments as dynamic and affectively-loaded participants in society. In the context of Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, monuments inspire colonial and imperial nostalgia, compelling visitors to consistently re-imagine Canada as a white, Anglophone nation, built through the labour of white men: politicians, soldiers, and businessmen. At the same time, Ottawa monuments allow for dominant affective relationships to the nation to be challenged, demonstrated through subtle and explicit forms of defacement and...
