Civic Spaces and Desire presents an original and critical appraisal
of civic spaces for a novel theoretical intersection of
architecture and human geography. The authors address civic spaces
that embody a strong moral code, such as a remembrance park or a
casino, in various places in the United Kingdom, Europe, North
America, Australia and Asia. The consecutive chapters of the book
present these chosen spaces as the interconnection between the
everyday and the ideological. By doing so the book reimagines the
socio-political effects of the countercultural assemblages and
ontologies of difference that these spaces produce, represent and
foster, as presented through outcasts and nomads of various kinds
and forms. The book reflects on different interpretations of the
key texts from primarily post-linguistic theoreticians, such as
Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari and Jacques Derrida. It will benefit
students and academics in architecture, geography, philosophy and
urban studies and planning, who seek to understand the politics of
space, place and civility. By deconstructing normative ideological
constructs, the book uses the concept of desire to explore the
tensions between expectations of civic spaces and the
disappointment and wonder of their immanent existence. Chapter 1 of
this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF
