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.\u003cbr\u003e\nFar 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\n","brand":"Jean-Luc Nancy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54956546130300,"sku":"9781531508999","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781531508999.jpg?v=1739975356","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-city-in-the-distance-3","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
