DESCRIPTION:Created thanks to a donation from the McConnell Foundation\, th
 e position of McConnell Professor of Practice enables a professional recog
 nized in his or her field of practice to carry out research and knowledge 
 transfer activities in collaboration with CIRM members and local and inter
 national partners. For 2024-2025\, Michel Hellman\, cartoonist\, illustrat
 or\, lecturer at the Université du Québec en Outaouais and art history tea
 cher\, was selected to encourage research-creation on the theme of the nei
 ghborhood or neighborhood life\, and to further a collaboration with the M
 ontreal Comic Arts Festival (MCAF). He is the author of the graphic novels
  Mile End (2011\, Pow Pow) and Nunavik (2016\, Pow Pow)\, and has particip
 ated in numerous residencies and exhibitions\, including one on the Côte-d
 es-Neiges district organized by the district's Maison de la culture. He ho
 lds a B.A. and an M.A. in art history from 51³Ô¹ÏÍø\, and is inte
 rested in the relationship between urban space and comics.\n\nDuring this 
 conference\, Michel Hellman will present his research and creation project
  in detail. Please note that the conference will take place in French.\n\n
 What makes a neighborhood special? What is its 'soul'? What is the history
  of Montréal's different neighborhoods? What is the experience of a neighb
 orhood for a recent immigrant? What are the consequences of gentrification
  for vulnerable and marginalized populations? Is it possible to co-constru
 ct a neighborhood portrait that uses stories\, rather than statistical dat
 a\, as 'social indicators of a neighborhood'? To answer these questions\, 
 Michel Hellman proposes to create\, in comic strip form\, a 'sensitive' ca
 rtography (one that records personal experience of the territory) of Montr
 éal's different neighborhoods: a narrative cartography that will bring tog
 ether portraits\, stories\, anecdotes and slices of life.\n\nComic arts ar
 e an excellent tool for popularization\, and have obvious educational valu
 e. Its playful\, accessible language enables it to reach a wide audience. 
 To realize this project\, Michel Hellman will rely on field research\, but
  will also draw on the contributions of the various researchers associated
  with CIRM (to discuss urbanization\, architecture\, economics\, language 
 or literature\, for example). It will therefore be a participative creativ
 e work.\n\nRSVP by May 24\, 5 p.m. to assunta.fiorita [at] mcgill.ca (subj
