Autor K. DeFazio
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 oct 2011
Offers an innovative, interdisciplinary approach which opens up new ways of understanding urban culture and space. The author approaches the city as essentially a 'material' place where people live, work, and participate in social practices within historical limits set not by sensory experience or cultural meanings but material social conditions.

Recenzii

"The City of Senses is a timely contribution to understanding the 'geography of labor' and its relation to the injustices facing working people across the globe. DeFazio opens up our senses - to become more acutely aware - of how capitalist relations of production eclipse human needs in the overwhelming panorama of consumption and greed we know as neoliberal capitalism. A precise and thorough undertaking that offers a materialist reading of social practices often relegated to the cultural realm, this is critical theory at its best." - Nathalia E. Jaramillo, Assistant Professor, Educational Studies and Cultural Foundations, Purdue University
"The City of the Senses is genuinely path-breaking. Its argument is not just a timely intervention in ongoing debates about the city but a comprehensive challenge to contemporary urban theory. DeFazio's analysis and argument are magisterially informed, offering transformative interpretations of texts and films from Wordsworth's poetry to Dickens' Hard Times; from Kant and Lyotard to Ikea furniture and Lost in Translation. A lasting contribution to our understanding of the relationship of culture to society." - Julian Markels, Ohio State University, author of The Marxian Imagination: Representing Class in Literature
