The Imaginative Structure of the City
Viewing the modern city as both a material and symbolic field, Blum (communications and culture, social and political thought, and sociology, York U.) explores cities as "living dialectic" landscapes of differing interpretations and actions. Drawing on philosophers from Plato to Derrida and case studies, he discusses anxieties relating to such issues as collective identity, diversity, the theatricality of city scenes, and urban evolution.
