Drawing on his widely discussed accounts of sense and of the fraught question of community, Nancy views the city as the site of a disposition that is constantly undergoing metamorphoses.  Far from an abstract account, Nancy attends in the most concrete way possible to the workings of a city not typically taken as paradigmatic, Los Angeles. As Jean-Christophe Bailly suggests in his foreword, Nancy joins Walter Benjamin in thinking the city not from an external vantage point, but on its own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52090329530642,"sku":"9781531508975","price":50.16,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781531508975.jpg?v=1774736424","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781531508975","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
