Although they may remain the same on a map, streets can undergo major demographic, commercial, and urban shifts as public policies, seasons, and eras change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is this ephemeral nature of public spaces and their identity that interests Bernardo&nbsp;Emmanuel, who is pursuing a <a href=\"https:\/\/inrs.ca\/les-etudes\/programmes-d-etudes\/repertoire-des-programmes-d-etudes\/doctorat-en-etudes-urbaines-3895\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ph.D. in urban studies<\/a> at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/uqam.ca\/en\/information\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al<\/a> (UQAM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring my research, I wondered why terms like \u2018revitalization\u2019 or \u2018renewal\u2019 were used when major works were planned for a street, as if we wanted to breathe new life into a space that was already occupied. It\u2019s as if the existing social life\u2014or the presence of poor or itinerant people\u2014has to be erased to make way for \u2018real life\u2019. As if a space is dead when it isn\u2019t part of a capitalist logic,\u201d explains the young researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this in mind, Bernardo recently co-authored the article \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/rue-wellington-plaza-saint-hubert-quen-est-il-vraiment-de-la-coolitude-des-rues-defrayant-les-palmares-232534\">Rue Wellington, Plaza Saint-Hubert\u2026 Qu\u2019en est-il vraiment de la \u00ab coolitude \u00bb des rues d\u00e9frayant les palmar\u00e8s&nbsp;?<\/a>\u201d (Rue Wellington, Plaza Saint-Hubert&#8230; What\u2019s really happening to the \u2018coolness\u2019 of the streets that make the headlines?) in <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/ca\"><em>The Conversation<\/em><\/a> with professor <a href=\"https:\/\/design.uqam.ca\/professeur\/anne-marie-broudehoux\/\">Anne-Marie Broudehoux<\/a>, a specialist in environmental design at UQAM.

The early signs of gentrification can be seen in rising rents, the arrival of large chains, the influx of tourists, and the relocation of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs part of the capitalist system, cities want to sell themselves to attract tourism and investment, but do they have to sell <em>everything<\/em>? How far can this fetishization of space go?

The magic of such a public space, which promotes a certain lifestyle and certain habits, is then thought to reflect on the people who frequent it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fetishization can have several consequences, such as gentrification or influencers who wish to immortalize their presence in these fetishized places, and thus draw their own followers into this logic of consumption of space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the student<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bernardo Emmanuel\u2019s research interests led him to public spaces in Toulouse, France; Brazilian favelas; and the underbelly of viaducts in Rio, before settling in Montreal. Today, he focuses on the way public spaces contribute to the construction of the popular perception of cities and their identity portrayed in films. His thesis, titled \u201cL\u2019espace public imaginaire: l\u2019\u00e9volution des repr\u00e9sentations filmiques des rues, places et parcs montr\u00e9alais\u201d (Public space in the collective consciousness: The evolution of film representations of Montreal streets, squares, and parks), is supervised by <a href=\"https:\/\/inrs.ca\/en\/inrs\/research-centres\/urbanisation-culture-societe-research-centre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christian Poirier<\/a>, a professor at INRS\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/inrs.ca\/en\/inrs\/research-centres\/urbanisation-culture-societe-research-centre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Urbanisation Culture Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Research Centre<\/a>, who has himself worked on Quebec identity in local cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bernardo Emmanuel is a young researcher attached to the <a href=\"https:\/\/inrs.ca\/la-recherche\/chaires-groupes-et-reseaux-de-recherche\/repertoire-des-chaires-groupes-et-reseaux-de-recherche\/chaire-fernand-dumont-sur-la-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fernand-Dumont Chair on Culture<\/a> at INRS.
