How Actor-Network Theory Changes Urban Studies

Upravil: Ignacio Farías, Thomas Bender ...

Série série Questioning Cities
This book takes it as a given that the city is made of multiple partially localized assemblages built of heterogeneous networks, spaces, and practices. The past century of urban studies has focused on various aspects—space, culture, politics, economy—but these too often address each domain and the city itself as a bounded and cohesive entity. The multiple and overlapping enactments that constitute ... Přečtěte si více
