A timely and insightful exploration into one of the most important intersections today between cities, architecture and global culture. Stimulating and provocative.
Prof. Iain Borden, University College London, United Kingdom
Urban culture has always been marked by fear and enthrallment, mutability and meaning, rich and poor, but the specificity of these relations is ever changing. These wonderfully diverse and interdisciplinary essays, focusing especially on the visual culture of contemporary global cities, usefully present and take stock of these old themes in the garb of our time.
Prof. Thomas Bender, New York University, USA
Globalization, Violence, and the Visual Culture of Cities
What connects garbage dumps in New York, bomb sites in Baghdad, and skyscrapers in So Paulo? How is contemporary visual culture extending from art and architecture to film and digital media responding to new forms of violence associated with global and globalizing cities? Addressing such questions, this book is the first interdisciplinary volume to examine the complex relationship between globalization, violence, and the visual culture of cities.
Violence in both material and cultural forms has been a prominent and endemic feature of urban life in the global metropolitan era. Focusing on visual culture and offering a strong humanities perspective that is currently lacking in existing scholarship, this book seeks to understand how the violent effects of globalization have been represented, theorized, and experienced across a wide range of cultural contexts and urban locations in Asia, Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East. Organized around three interrelated themes fear, memory, and spectacle essay topics range from military targeting in Baghdad, carceral urbanism in So Paulo, and the Paris banlieue riots, to the security aesthetics of G8 summits, the architecture of urban paranoia, and the cultural afterlife of the Twin Towers.
Globalization, Violence, and the Visual Culture of Cities offers fresh insight into the problems and potential of cities around the world, including Beijing, Berlin, London, New York, Paris, and So Paulo. With specially commissioned essays from the fields of cultural theory, architecture, film, photography, and urban geography, this innovative volume will be a valuable resource for students, scholars, and researchers across the humanities and social sciences.
Christoph Lindner is Professor and Chair of English Literature at the University of Amsterdam and Research Affiliate at the University of London Institute in Paris. His book publications include Revisioning 007 (2009), Urban Space and Cityscapes (2006), and Fictions of Commodity Culture (2003).

The Questioning Cities series brings together an unusual mix of urban scholars under the title. Rather than taking a broadly economic approach, planning approach, or more socio-cultural approach, it aims to include titles from a multi-disciplinary field of those interested in critical urban analysis. The series thus includes authors who draw on contemporary social, urban and critical theory to explore different aspects of the city. It is not therefore a series made up of books which are largely case studies of different cities and predominantly descriptive. It seeks instead to extend current debates, through, in most cases, excellent empirical work, and to develop sophisticated understandings of the city from a number of disciplines including geography, sociology, politics, planning, cultural studies, philosophy, and literature. The series also aims to be thoroughly international where possible, to be innovative, to surprise, and to challenge received wisdom in urban studies. Overall it will encourage a multi-disciplinary and international dialogue always bearing in mind that simple description or empirical observation which is not located within a broader theoretical framework would not for this series, at least be enough.
