Rethinking the City: Reconfiguration and Fragmentation

English

Interdisciplinary in approach, this book employs the key concepts of fragmentation and reconfiguration to consider the ways in which human experience and artistic practice can engage with and respond to the dis-integration that characterises modern cities. Asking how we might unsettle and decrypt the homogeneous images of cities created by processes linked to capitalism and globalisation, it invites us to consider the possibility of reimagining and rethinking the urban spaces we inhabit.

An exploration of the complex relationship between aesthetics, the arts and the city, Rethinking the City: Reconfiguration and Fragmentation will appeal to scholars across various disciplines, including philosophy, urban sociology and geography, anthropology, political theory and visual and media studies.

About

Maria Filomena Molder is a Professor Emeritus at Universidade Nova de Lisboa and a researcher at IFILNOVA. Her philosophical interests converge towards aesthetical issues concerning poetry and art. Reading Dante Kant Goethe Baudelaire Nietzsche Wittgenstein Benjamin Pessoa Broch or Colli she has acquired the conviction that art and poetry are forms of knowledge of a generative kind: they allow us to see the very conditions under which reality is perceived by granting us a presentation of it. Ever since the beginning of her research she has sought to demonstrate the fertility allowed by aesthetical issues towards the understanding of what philosophy can be.Nélio Conceição (PhD NOVA University Lisbon 2013) is a researcher at IFILNOVA (NOVA Institute of Philosophy). His research focuses on aesthetics and the philosophy of art with recent work addressing topics within the philosophy of photography film-philosophy and the philosophy of the city. He has co-edited the volumes Aesthetics and Values: Contemporary Perspectives (Mimesis International 2021) Conceptual Figures of Fragmentation and Reconfiguration (IFILNOVA 2021) and Planos de pormenor: leituras críticas sobre a experiência da cidade (Húmus 2023) and is the author of A realidade em exercício: a fotografia da fenomenologia a Walter Benjamin (Edições do Saguão 2023).Nuno Fonseca (PhD NOVA University Lisbon 2012) is currently a researcher at the NOVA Institute of Philosophy (IFILNOVA) and coordinates the Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art research group at CultureLab.
