What is it about?
This articles focuses on French-Quebecer writer, thinker and sociologist Régine Robin's "Le Mal de Paris" (2014) which states that Paris is a city crushed by the weight of its representation in media, culture and literature. We propose a new way of looking at the city through its past, present and future form and representation all at once, following Robin's specific approach, blurring the lines between fiction and theory.
