This dissertation is dedicated to my parents Tom and Katherine Davidson. Abstract In this ethnographic study of the dynamic lives of a population of monuments in Ottawa, I argue that long after they have been unveiled, monuments are imbued with many capacities to act. Monuments inspire loathing or affection, and settle or disturb dominant understandings of place, nation, race, and gender. I suggest that monuments have these affective capabilities because they operate like ‘stone bodies’ in their urban environments. Additionally, spirited with a certain life-force, monuments have the ability to haunt, unsettling relationships between place, memory, and belonging. These affective charges of monuments are felt and expressed through articulations of imperial and colonial nostalgia, feminist and other activist mobilities and various articulations of patriotism.

Monuments and public art play a role in articulating these identities within the public sphere and are further narrated by the personal use of these spaces by local citizens. This paper will show that although there is a difference between monuments and public art terms of intention and purpose, monuments and public art as they exist within the public sphere are actually one in the same, as they exist as forms which we experience at a local level and can contribute to a multilayered national, local and personal identity.
