IV.3.1.d. RUINS, REVENGE AND EVOLUTION

MENU: 4.3.1.d. Ruins. Revenge. Evolution.  

HOW LA COMMUNE
STILL IMPACTS THE CITY

Its fires more complex than is said,
a monstrous church 
and a change in street design
when strikes replace revolts
 
In brief

  • Rubble covers a third of the city
  • Results of the Communard fires
  • The inferno in context
  • The sacred hilltop
  • New violence, new symbolism
  • The church of vengeance
  • Changed threat, changed city
  • The Sacré-Cœur frightens, Sainte-Anne heals
  • The "chocolate facade"
