Résumé
Depuis un certain temps, le concept de « spectacle urbain » occupe une place centrale dans les études portant sur l’urbanisation postfordiste, mais ne fait pas l’objet d’un examen sérieux de leur part. En commençant préalablement par une courte revue de la théorie du spectacle de Guy Debord, cet article propose d’examiner comment le « spectacle urbain » a été utilisé pour analyser trois aspects émergents de la vie urbaine contemporaine : (1) la poursuite du redéveloppement spectaculaire, afin de projeter des images de vitalité urbaine au sein du marché international ; (2) la construction de nouveaux environnements spectaculaires pour une consommation « haut de gamme » et des loisirs ; et (3) ces épisodes de vie urbaine interrompus par la résistance spectaculaire. Enfin, la toute dernière section aborde la manière dont les chercheurs utilisent cette notion de « spectacle urbain » pour réduire l’ensemble de la critique politico-éthique à la ville spectaculaire, et conclut avec une proposition sur son usage futur.
Summary
In recent years, the concept of “urban spectacle” has come to occupy a central but often unexamined place in the study of post-Fordist urbanization. Beginning with a short review of Guy Debord’s theory of spectacle, this essay offers an examination of how “urban spectacle” has been used to analyze three emergent features of contemporary urban life : (1) the pursuit of spectacular redevelopment in order to project images of urban vitality into the international marketplace, (2) the construction of new spectacular environments for upscale consumption and leisure, and (3) those moments when daily urban life is ruptured by episodes of spectacular criticisms at the “spectacular city” and concludes with an analysis of the concept’s continuing utility.
Resumen
Desde hace algún tiempo, el concepto de “espectáculo urbano” ocupa un lugar central en los estudios que tratan sobre la urbanización post-fordista, pero que no son objeto de un examen serio de su parte. Comenzando previamente por una corta revisión de la sociedad del espectáculo de Guy Debord, este artículo propone examinar cómo el “espectáculo urbano” ha sido utilizado para analizar tres aspectos emergentes de la vida urbana contemporánea : 1) la continuación del desarrollo espectacular, con el fin de proyectar imágenes de vitalidad urbana al interior del mercado internacional, 2) la construcción de nuevos medios ambientes espectaculares para un consumo “de alta gama” y de los pasatiempos, y 3) estos episodios de vida urbana interrumpidos por la resistencia espectacular. Enfin, la última sección aborda la manera en que los investigadores utilizan este concepto de “espectáculo urbano” para reducir el conjunto de la crítica político-ética a la ciudad espectacular, y concluye con una propuesta sobre su uso futuro.
