Alone in the Crowd discusses the identity of nineteenth-century Paris,
one of the most widely imaged cities in the modern world, whose most
enduring attribute is that of a city of spectacle - a city of the
pleasure of looking and being looked at simultaneously. Did
Haussmann’s re-figuring of the city, with its unrelenting straight
boulevards, stirring vistas and uniform buildings, create a ‘mass
produced’ image of Paris? If so, who benefited - and who lost out -
in the construction of this new identity? Did the boulevards represent
dystopia as well as utopia?
