This course considers the various ways in which the identity of “place” is constructed in Toronto. We will explore the means by which the city is represented in art, film, literature and urbanism. We will also critically examine how questions of “place” enable an engagement with the contradictions of colonial, nationalist, regionalist and cosmopolitan frames of reference. The course is offered as a series of seminars, with assigned readings, research papers and presentations by students.
