Abstract

SASSEN, Saskia. Cityness. Roaming thoughts about making and experiencing cityness. Ex aequo [online]. 2010, n.22, pp.13-18. ISSN 0874-5560.

The text problematizes the term «urbanity», as used in the West, and proposes the notion of «cityness» as a tool and as an intersection of differences which may open to something new, namely, other ways of appropriation of public spaces.

Keywords : Cityness; urbanity; intersection; subjectivity.
