Bringing Eden up to code. The territorial imaginary of the Quebec rest stop
This article proposes a journey through the imaginary of Quebec’s rest stops. As a chronotope of territorial space-time, the roadside stop allows us to grasp its contextual dynamics that are as much cultural, political, economic as they are symbolic. Ten stops on a road trip made in 2021 covering the entire governmental network are presented. A multifaceted imaginary composes itself through the heterochronic and heterotopic images that these architectures draw and ground in the landscape.
