Exploring the ever-changing philosophy of city life with Jean-Luc Nancy
In The City in the Distance, Jean-Luc Nancy embarks on nothing less than a philosophy of the city. Drawing on his widely discussed accounts of sense and of the fraught question of community, Nancy views the city as the site of a disposition that is constantly undergoing metamorphoses. Far from an abstract account, Nancy attends in the most concrete way possible to the workings of a city not typically taken as paradigmatic, Los Angeles. As Jean-Christophe Bailly suggests in his foreword, Nancy joins Walter Benjamin in thinking the city not from an external vantage point, but on its own terms.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Fordham University PressISBN-13:9781531508968ISBN-10:1531508960UPC:9781531508968Book Category:Philosophy, Social Science, Literary CriticismBook Subcategory:Political, Sociology, Semiotics & TheoryBook Topic:UrbanSize:8.00 x 5.00 x 0.38 inchesWeight:0.5401Product ID:SCJKY3FE8H
