Ben Highmore is Senior Lecturer in the School of Cultural and Media Studies at the University of West of England, Bristol.
Book Synopsis
Challenging the urge of cultural inquiry to explain and summarize, be exhaustive and conclusive, Highmore (cultural studies, U. of the West of England) describes various aspects of the city in a manner that is not immediately translatable into assessment, valuation, and judgment. Among his topics are circulation, consumer choreography, control and conflict, mobility and movement in detective fiction, rhythm-analysis and urban culture.
