URBS 240 - Urban Cultures

Unit(s): 4

This class begins with the notion stated by Argentine cultural critique Beatriz Sarlo, “There is no experience of the city without a representation of the city.” Therefore, a phenomenology of the city—a set of discourses that attempt to provide an understanding of the city through perceptions—must make reference, not only to the physicality and use of urban space, but also to its aesthetic representations.
