THE CULTURAL IDENTITIES OF EUROPEAN CITIES KART...

Cities are both real and imaginary places whose identity is dependent on their distinctive
heritage: a network of historically transmitted cultural resources. The essays in this volume 
which originate from a lecture series at the Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies 
University of London  explore the complex and multi-layered identities of European cities.
Themes that run through the essays include: nostalgia for a grander past  location between
Eastern and Western ideologies  religions and cultures  and the fluidity and palimpsest quality
of city identity. Not only does the book provide different thematic angles and a variety of
approaches to the investigation of city identity  it also emphasizes the importance of diverse
cultural components. The essays presented here discuss cultural forms as various as music 
architecture  literature  journalism  philosophy  television  film  myths  urban planning and
the naming of streets.
