Abstract

Pour Siegfried Kracauer, critique et théoricien allemand, l'ornement en milieu urbain n'est pas seulement un aspect de la conception, il a été le moyen par lequel les citadins ont interprété la métropole elle-même. L'auteur se concentre sur les textes et romans de Kracauer avant son émigration aux États-Unis en 1940. L'auteur analyse les réflexions de Kracauer sur la vie urbaine moderne, à travers l'idée centrale de l'ornement. Le livre comprend également une série de photographies de l'auteur qui reflètent l'expérience d'ornement de la métropole, à Paris et Francfort, notamment. "For Siegfried Kracauer the urban ornament was not just an aspect of design, it was the medium through which city dwellers interpreted the metropolis itself. In Ornaments of the Metropolis, Henrik Reeh traces variations on the theme of the ornament in Kracauer's writings on urbanism, from his early journalism in Germany between the wars to his "sociobiography" of Jacques Offenbach in Paris. Reeh argues that Kracauer's novel, essays, and historiography all suggest ways in which the subjective can reappropriate urban life. The book also includes a series of photographs by the author that reflect the ornamental experience of the metropolis in Paris, Frankfurt, and other cities".

Abstract

Emerging forms of alternative economic frameworks are changing the structure of society, redefining the relationship between centre and periphery, and the social dynamics in the urban fabric. In this context, the arts can play a crucial role in formulating a concept of complex and plural citizenship: This economic, social and cultural paradigm has the potential to overcome the conventional isolation of the arts and culture in ivory towers, and thereby to gradually make the urban fabric more fertile. This volume faces such sensitive issues by collating contributions from various disciplines: Economists, sociologists, urbanists, architects and creative artists offer a broad and deep assessment of urban dynamics and their visions for the years to come.
