Deleuze Connections : DECO
Content:
Uses the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari to interrogate what cities can doDefining the lives of a majority of the world’s population, the question of ‘the city’ has risen to the fore as one the most urgent issues of our time – uniting concerns across the terrain of climate policies, global financing, localised struggles and multi-disciplinary research.Deleuze and the City rests on a conviction that philosophy is crucially important for advancing knowledge on cities, and for allowing us to envisage new forms of urban life toward a more sustainable future. It gathers some of the most original thinkers and accomplished scholars in contemporary urban studies, showing how Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophical project is essential for our thinking through the multi-scalar, uneven and contested landscapes that constitute ‘the city’ today. Dispelling the old question of what the city is, this collection provides a nuanced mapping of situations emerging in concrete urban settings across the globe, ranging from the ‘laboratory urbanism' of an Austrian ski resort and a ‘sustainable’ Swedish shopping mall to the ‘urbicidal’ refurbishments of Haifa.Notes on ContributorsRonnen Ben-Arie, Tel-Aviv University and Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Israel.Marc Boumeester, AKI ArtEZ Academy for Art & Design, Netherlands.Magnus Eriksson, Lund University, Sweden, University of Macerata, Italy and the Interactive Institute, Sweden.Ignacio Farías, Technische Universität München, Germany.Hélène Frichot, KTH School of Architecture, Sweden, and RMIT University, Australia.Catharina Gabrielsson, KTH School of Architecture and Konstfack, Sweden.Gary Genosko, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada.Maria Hellström Reimer, Malmö University and the Swedish Design Faculty for Design Research and Research Education, SwedenJean Hillier, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.Stefan Höhne, TU Berlin, Germany.Louise Beltzung Horvath, Austrian Academy of Sciences and Vienna University of Technology, Austria.Michele Lancione, University of Cambridge, UK.Janet McGaw, University of Melbourne, Australia.
