bendish Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Okay here we go...they're getting it now: Notre-Dame has occupied the heart of Paris for the better part of a millennium, its twin medieval towers rising from the small central island wedged between the storied left and right banks. Now, France is burning. The fire at Notre-Dame happened on the day that the country’s troubled president, Emmanuel Macron, was supposed to explain how he intended to address the demands of the “Yellow Vest” movement. An anguished, restless nation has struggled to cope with the monthslong uprising and with the frayed social safety net that spurred the protests. Generations that had come to rely on this social safety net, as a matter of national pride and identity, see it going up in smoke. On Monday, so was the cathedral, which for centuries has enshrined an evolving notion of Frenchness. The symbolism was hard to miss.

Soloman Tump Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I found it quite distasteful that millions have already been pledged to help the rebuild, before confirming there are no fatalities inside and no cause/blame has been identified. Yeah sure rebuilt it one day. But as you say, France has more than its fair share of social issues to resolve first...

I'm excited by all the technology enabling us to reconstruct it exactly as it was down to the centimeter. I understand "exactly as it was" is a fraught, nuanced and unclear idea given the nature of its lifespan and restorations etc but there shouldn't be an "updated" notre dame that "reflects" our time. stupid and trolly thing to say.
