The Time of the City is a trans-disciplinary work with a focus
on genre-city relationships as they articulate the micropolitics of
urban life in diverse cities. Shifting the territorial emphasis of
political studies from the mosaic of states to the global network
of cities, the book draws on urban theory rather than traditional
forms of official city politics. Deriving their methodological
approaches from aspects of urban theory and philosophies of
aesthetics, the chapters deploy concepts from philosophy, political
theory, literary studies, cinema studies, poetics and aesthetic
theory on diverse cities, among which are Berlin, Hong Kong,
London, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
Investigating a wide variety of urban formations, and developing
a geophilosophy appropriate to urban space, this multi genre
approach to urban life provides stunning insights into the
micropolitics of ethnicity, identity, security, subjectivity and
sovereignty.
