Advance Praise for Communicating the City “‘We shall think of the urban in and outside of cities.’ With these words, Communicating the City takes a giant step forward in rethinking—and decentring—the relations between communicative practices and urbanity. The book’s challenge to discipline-bounded theories will be debated seriously by the next generation of scholars and students in communication, urban studies, geography, media studies, and cultural studies. It is thoughtful and inspiring, powered by acute and lively analyses.” John N. Erni, Hong Kong Baptist University “Communicating the City uncovers a range of overlapping layers of meaning that shape the unique experiences of being in the city. This is the first collection to bring together top scholars from around the globe who analyze the city as a site of communication in a globalized, transnational context.” Daniel Makagon, DePaul University “With an express purpose to decentre considerations of mediation and urban space, and chapters spanning a remarkably diverse array of cities from Europe, the United States, China and beyond, Communicating the City provides a most welcome contribution to debates at the heart of ‘the city’ in media and communication studies and neighbouring disciplines.” Miyase Christensen, Stockholm University; KTH Royal Institute of Technology
