Urban Verbs: Arts and Discourses of American Cities
ISBN: 9780804726450 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Speaking to the ongoing debate over the development of urban space and culture, this book demonstrates the centrality of the physical and social being of cities to American literature and other arts in the twentieth century. The author's reading of aesthetic texts alongside urban planning, economics, sociology, law, and historiography--discourses he treats as form-producing arts in their own right--shows as misleading the common dichotomy of models that focus on the structure of urban space and institutions, and those that describe cities as fluid constellations of social practices. The ideal...
