Reseña del libro "Tours Inside the Snow Globe: Ottawa Monuments and National Belonging (en Inglés)"

Thetoppling of monuments globally in the last few years has highlighted thepotency of monuments as dynamic and affectively-loaded participants in society.In the context of Ottawa, Canada's capital city, monumentsinspire colonial and imperial nostalgia, compelling visitors to consistentlyre-imagine Canada as a white, Anglophone nation, built through the labour ofwhite men: politicians, soldiers, and businessmen. At the same time, Ottawamonuments allow for dominant affective relationships to the nation to bechallenged, demonstrated through subtle and explicit forms of defacement andother interactions that compel us to remember colonial violence, pacifism, violence against women, racisms. Organized as a series ofwalking tours throughout Ottawa, the chapters in Tours Inside theSnow Globe demonstrate the affective capacities of monuments andhighlight how these monuments have ongoing relationships with their sites, thecity, other monuments, and local, deliberate, national, and casual communitiesof users. The tours focus on the lives of a monument to an unnamed Indigenousscout, the National War Memorial, Enclave: the Women's Monument, and theCanadian Tribute to Human Rights. Two of the tours offer analyses of theambivalent representations of women and Indigeneity in Ottawa's statuelandscape.
