Abstract from the publisher:
The city of the senses: Urban culture and urban space
Offering an innovative, interdisciplinary approach to the city which opens up new ways of understanding urban culture and urban space, the author approaches the city as essentially a "material" place where people live, work, and participate in social practices within historical limits set not by sensory experience or cultural meanings but material social conditions. Urban cultural theory, the book contends, needs to understand the human senses in the context of (imperceptible) material relations of production so as to take part in the struggle to transform them.
