Perry – Deep Mapping and Emotion in Place-Writing Practice

This volume zooms in on the transformation of the city/metropolis from the standpoints of work/political economy, sustainability, security/surveillance and race., focusing on how the city is experience/sensed across different communities of people. Springing from diverse traditions of thought and methodological perspectives, including politics, ethnography, philosophy, and urban planning, the chapters offer the opportunity to capture the city as a puzzle of perceptions and experiences. In this same direction the multiplicity of spaces/times – the Mexico Federal District, Port-of-Spain, Shanghai, Milan, Paris, Buenos Aires and Puno - are the reference points of the chapters to indicate how their sociability, experientialities and sensibilities are organized. The book, at the same time, constitutes an opportunity to analyze the possibilities of including trust, reciprocity and equality as axes for looking at the "life-of-the-cities” as a central component of a new form of politics of sensibilities.
