UD 62004 Urban Ecologies II
The second semester of the ecology sequence is focused both on ways in which the city provides a setting and a medium for a variety of human interactions and organizations and on the ways in which the city collaborates in the invention of "people" and in teaching them how to be, how to exist, in the modern world. It explores some of the basic forms of metropolitan life-the crowd, the street, the park, the mass transit system, the store, the office, etc.-as well of forms of loneliness, mass-association, art, entertainment, and politics-via a variety of imaginative and critical texts.
