| 520 | |a "This book explores, by observation and analysis, the methods cities and their subjects use to find meaning in the context of urban life, in particular the city's relationships to social change and what has been traditionally identified as justice. I treat the city as a site and a situation of action that exhibits interpretive collisions in relation to contested views of everyday life and its management: a collective discourse of conflicting views of globalization, gentrification, innovation, preservation, market value, popular culture, crowds, consumption, urban governance, and different strategies proposed for healing the ever -present conflicts of the democratic city over these topics. The aim of each chapter is to use a problem of urban life to to observe and analyze assumptions and values that are typically taken for granted and unspoken. It is thus possible to refashion a collective discourse as dialogue: a dialogue which is then explored and analyzed to reveal occasions of problem-solving in relation to the quality of the city as an environment. This draws on a method developed in earlier works by Blum and McHugh for engaging texts and social interaction. Models of the city that focus upon its complications due to political economy, geography, and such conditions are translated into a reflection upon urbanity as a system of desire using texts from Plato, Lucretius, Hegel, Georg Simmel, Siegreid Kracauer, Wittgenstein, Hannah Arendt, Jean Baudrillard, Virginia Woolf and others. The city is reflected historically and at any present in different ways that have consequences for thinking of opportunity and limit, pleasure and pain, optimism and pessimism. The diverse conceptions of a material city are parts of a narrative designed to represent the enigma of mortality and its relations to pleasure, comedy, and fate."-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
