Nation-building and monumentalization in the contemporary capital: The case of Ottawa-Hull, with particular reference to the Peacekeeping Monument and the Canadian Tribute to Human Rights. - 266 p.

Thesis (M.A.)--Carleton University (Canada), 1999.

This thesis is an exploration of monument-building in Canada; an activity which is a reflection of the desire on the part of society to build national symbols. In an age of increasing globalization and cultural diversity, the need to build relevant symbols for national identity and social cohesiveness is growing. In this thesis, various functions of monuments are discussed, with particular reference given to the ideological role that they play in nation-building. The monumental heritage of the country and the symbolic landscape of Ottawa-Hull are explored around the central research question of how far the monumentalization to date characterizes the national society and what recent efforts have been made in this direction. To this end, the thesis narrows to consider two recent monument projects in the capital, Reconciliation or the Peacekeeping Monument and the Canadian Tribute to Human Rights. Discussion of these two examples will focus on the process of their production, using primarily interview material. A consideration of how each monument is interpreted or consumed will then follow using research from an on-street survey. The conclusion considers the contribution of such recent endeavours to the contemporary symbolic order.
