Sobre IBD

This book provides a methodology for studying the experience and culture of urban modernity. It examines a number of thematic case-studies, demonstrating the potential of an approach to city culture that privileges description and attention to movement. Written for students in an accessible style, the book offers a vivid account of the rhythms of urban modernity as they are articulated in a variety of cultural forms from the nineteenth century novel to the film The Matrix.
