A propos de ce titre

Synopsis :

This is a stroll through the spaces and representations of the 19th-century French metropolis. Inspired by the cultural histories of Walter Benjamin and Wolfgang Schivelbusch, "Expositions" explores the spatial and cultural logic of Haussmann's sweeping Paris boulevards, classic novels by Balzac and Zola, the Bon Marche department store, and the poetry of Baudelaire. The author investigates spectacular public spaces such as the "Exposition universelle" and relates how the entire urban landscape became a stage, while the culture of the image attained ever greater currency in the daily experience of advertising, fashion, photography and illustration.
