"A timely and insightful exploration into one of the most important intersections today between cities, architecture and global culture. Stimulating and provocative." Prof Iain Borden, University of Central London, United Kingdom Urban culture has always been marked by fear and enthrallment, mutability and meaning, rich and poor, but the specificity of these relations is ever changing. These wonderfully diverse and interdisciplinary essays, focusing especially on the visual culture of contemporary global cities, usefully present and take stock of these old themes in the garb of our time.

Synopsis
What connects garbage dumps in New York, bomb sites in Baghdad, and skyscrapers in São Paulo? How is contemporary visual culture - extending from art and architecture to film and digital media - responding to new forms of violence associated with global and globalizing cities? Addressing such questions, this book is the first interdisciplinary volume to examine the complex relationship between globalization, violence, and the visual culture of cities. Violence - in both material and cultural forms - has been a prominent and endemic feature of urban life in the global metropolitan era. Focusing on visual culture and offering a strong humanities perspective that is currently lacking in existing scholarship, this book seeks to understand how the violent effects of globalization have been represented, theorized, and experienced across a wide range of cultural contexts and urban locations in Asia, Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East. Organized around three interrelated themes - fear, memory, and spectacle - essay topics range from military targeting in Baghdad, carceral urbanism in São Paulo, and the Paris banlieue riots, to the security aesthetics of G8 summits, the architecture of urban paranoia, and the cultural afterlife of the Twin Towers. Globalization, Violence, and the Visual Culture of Cities offers fresh insight into the problems and potential of cities around the world, including Beijing, Berlin, London, New York, Paris, and São Paulo. With specially-commissioned essays from the fields of cultural theory, architecture, film, photography, and urban geography, this innovative volume will be a valuable resource for students, scholars, and researchers across the humanities and social sciences., This book is the first interdisciplinary volume to examine the complex relationship between globalization, violence, and the visual culture of cities, What connects garbage dumps in New York, bomb sites in Baghdad, and skyscrapers in S o Paulo?

- f***a (28)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe seller went above and beyond. Absolutely fantastic communication. My books (The Harry Potter Bloomsbury Paperbacks, Books 1-4) arrived exactly as described, not that I had any reservations as her original listing photographs were completely transparent and nicely done so it left little room for speculation. Inclusively she refunded me 10.00 of my original order when I did not realise she had Book 4 so I was charged less for shipping. This seller is genuinely reliable.J. K.

The seller reached out to let me know one book in my order was in a different condition than listed, offered a discount, and even included a surprise bonus book that looks amazing! Shipping was incredibly fast, the packaging was thoughtful and secure, and the books arrived exactly as described. I could spend hours browsing this shop--such a gem!

- s***f (477)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaThis seller is incredible. The CD was padded inside the case to prevent it from coming loose from the hub, then the case was in a vinyl sleeve, which was sandwiched by stiff cardboard and THEN all of that stuffed inside a bubble wrapped envelope! I have never seen such care taken of used CDs which were by the way, in PERFECT condition. And did I mention fast shipping? I would always choose this seller first to look for future media purchases.
