Cities are both real and imaginary places whose identity is
dependent on their distinctive heritage: a network of historically
transmitted cultural resources. The essays in this volume, which
originate from a lecture series at the Institute of Germanic &
Romance Studies, University of London, explore the complex and
multi-layered identities of European cities. Themes that run
through the essays include: nostalgia for a grander past; location
between Eastern and Western ideologies, religions and cultures; and
the fluidity and palimpsest quality of city identity. Not only does
the book provide different thematic angles and a variety of
approaches to the investigation of city identity, it also
emphasizes the importance of diverse cultural components. The
essays presented here discuss cultural forms as various as music,
architecture, literature, journalism, philosophy, television, film,
myths, urban planning and the naming of streets.
