Urban Arabesques examines philosophy as an event of the city and
the city as an event of philosophy and how the intertwining of the
two generates an urban imaginary. This critique-in-motion of
creative figures and conceptual personae from (non) philosophy
illuminates the emergence of sense in the city, shows how
"transcendental empiricism" operates within it, and how the
everyday life of the streets-the ordinariness of experience as well
as the screen/projector of urban surfaces-uncovers new pathways for
politics, experience, and relationalities. Using Hong Kong as the
primary site of thinking yet recognizing that thinking incessantly
moves beyond any particular location, the book opens up cities
within the city. Traversing Hong Kong reveals how the corners, the
money, the trees and the water are involved in philosophy.
Combining the linguistic approach found in Heidegger and Derrida,
with the more materialist analysis of Serres and Deleuze, the
objective of this book is to retheorize the urban and its
imaginary-its virtuality, irreality, phantasmicity-with an emphasis
on signs, images and rhythms, resonating through philosophy, and
beyond.
