Course overview

What is a city? Is it constituted of buildings? People? Institutions? This module introduces the city as a series of dynamic practices: the movement of people; the proposition of highways and alleyways, green spaces and social housing; the configuration and scheduling of transport; the regulation and timetabled glow of light; the whiffs and breezes and pockets of air pollution. It is also the circulation of ideas and the pulse of affect. This module offers a series of weekly encounters with the literary and performative city. Students will study a range of literary and theoretical texts, and walk London, travelling along its transport connections, listening to guides, looking around them and engaging self-reflexively with the meanings and imperatives found in the city.
