Real Cities: Modernity, Space and the Phantasmagorias of City Life

---

Real Cities explores the dream-like and ghost-like experiences of the city experiences best described as phantasmagoric and illuminated by the work of Benjamin, Freud and Simmel. While phantasmagorias might be commonplace, they are far from self-evident. Real Cities shows why it is necessary to take seriously the more imaginary, fantastic and emotional aspects of city life. Four principal phantasmagorias are identified, dreams, magic, vampires and ghosts. For each, a variety of lively empirical examples are used that give a clear sense of the role of the 'non-rational in modem city life. Consideration of phantasmagoria has radical consequences for how we think about improving city life, for all too often they are over looked in utopian schemes for the city Real Cities argues that the imaginary, the fantastic and the emotional must become part of theseal politics of the city.
