Sage, September 2013 PhD Thesis – V. E. Sage McMaster University – Dept. of Anthropology Descriptive Note McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2011) Hamilton, Ontario (Anthropology) TITLE: Arts in the City: Visions of James Street North, 2005-2011 AUTHOR: Vanessa E. Sage, B.A. (Waterloo University), B.A. (Cape Breton University), M.A. (Memorial University of Newfoundland) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ellen Badone NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 231 ii PhD Thesis – V. E. Sage McMaster University – Dept. of Anthropology Abstract I argue in this dissertation that aestheticizing urban landscapes represents an effort to create humane public environments in disenfranchised inner-city spaces, and turns these environments into culturally valued sites of pilgrimage. Specifically, I focus on James Street North, a neighbourhood undergoing artistic renewal in the post-industrial city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork in the arts scene on James Street North, my thesis claims that artistic activities serve as an ordinary, everyday material response to the perceived and real challenges of poverty, crime and decay in downtown Hamilton. Aesthetic elaboration is a generative and tangible expression by arts stakeholders of their intangible hopes, desires, and dreams for the city.

Pulling Strings: Textiles, Community and DIY in Post-Industrial Hamilton Jen Anisef, Thea Haines and Tara Bursey In the city formerly known as Canada’s Steeltown, the economic recession of the 1990s, suburban sprawl, and the collapse of Hamilton's steel industry had a devastating impact on the city's vitality. An exodus of commercial retail and corporate tenancy from the core of the city left many buildings vacant. In the last decade, Hamilton’s creative community has emerged as a major force in downtown renewal, neighbourhood building, and civic engagement and pride. Our collective and textile event series Pulling Strings has grown out of this context serving as a vehicle for research and community building. Through research, projects and activities we have examined intersections of Hamilton’s industrial history, textiles, contemporary art, DIY and place among artists and craftspeople in Downtown Hamilton.
