| 520 | |a Community is a central idea in urban studies but remains conceptually vague and empirically difficult to work with. Building on existing theories of community, Talja Blokland offers an important contribution to defining and understanding this key notion. Blokland argues that there has been too much focus on community as a stable construct, formed through durable relationships with kin, friends, or neighbors. She draws attention to the non-durable, fluid encounters that constitute community, theorizing communities as shared urban practices in a globalizing world. The book proposes two core ways of thinking about community: the dimension of privacy, defined by our ability to construct identities, and the dimension of access, defined by our freedom to enter and leave urban spaces. These dimensions form various urban configurations which enable us to experience and practice community in diverse ways. As this book maintains, community is after all an urban practice, not a fixed state of affairs. Book jacket. | ||
