Beskrivning
Contemporary Practices of Citizenship in Asia and the West: Care of the Self examines urban communities and societies in Asia and the West to shed much-needed light on issues that have emerged as the world experiences its new urban turn. An urbanized world should be an improving place, one that is better to live in, one where humans can flourish. This collection of essays examines contemporary practices of care of the self in cities in Asia and the West, including challenges to citizenship and even the right to the city itself. Written by a range of academics from different backgrounds (from architecture and urbanism, anthropology, social science, psychology, gender studies, history, and philosophy), their trans- and multidisciplinary approaches shed valuable light on what are sometimes quite old problems, leading to fresh perspectives and new ways of dealing with them. One thing that unites all of these papers is their people-centred approach, because, after all, a city is its people.

Recensioner i media

|''[...]through all chapters Bracken presents the significance of apeople-centred approach in dealing with the role of human agency in everchanging cities, where citizenship is constantly reconfigured beyond our conventional understanding of it. This book has various tints and shades, which provide the reader an opportunity to engage in both philosophical thinking and emotional connection in regards to human agency and how people struggle to care for themselves in the city.''- Woojong Moon, Pacific Affairs Volume September 2023, V.96, no.3,
