Since the mid-1970s, the colloquial term zone has often been
associated with the troubled post-war housing estates on the
outskirts of large French cities. However, it once referred to a
more circumscribed space: the zone non aedificandi (non-building
zone) which encircled Paris from the 1840s to the 1940s. This
unusual territory, although marginal in a social and geographical
sense, came to occupy a central place in Parisian culture. Previous
studies have focused on its urban and social history, or on
particular ways in which it was represented during particular
periods. By bringing together and analysing a wider range of
sources from the duration of the zone's existence, this study
offers a rich and nuanced account of how the area was perceived and
used by successive generations of Parisian novelists (including
Zola and Flaubert), poets, songwriters, artists, photographers,
film-makers, politicians and town-planners. More generally, it aims
to raise awareness of a neglected aspect of Parisian cultural
history while pointing to links between current and past
perceptions of the city's periphery.
