Post-cosmopolitan Cities (eBook, ePUB)

Explorations of Urban Coexistence
Redaktion: Humphrey, Caroline; Skvirskaja, Vera

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Examining the way people imagine and interact in their cities, this book explores the post-cosmopolitan city. The contributors consider the effects of migration, national, and religious revivals (with their new aesthetic sensibilities), the dispositions of marginalized economic actors, and globalized tourism on urban sociality. The case studies here share the situation of having been incorporated in previous political regimes (imperial, colonial, socialist) that one way or another created their own kind of cosmopolitanism, and now these cities are experiencing the aftermath of these regimes while being exposed to new national politics and migratory flows of people.
