Read Fragments of the European city by Stephen Barber ( arriving in May)

This book looks at the visual culture of contemporary European cities in an innovative and insightful way, that moves between architecture, cinema, and digital cultures. Much of the emphasis of the book is on Berlin in the years after the end of the Wall, and the author travels the city like some kind of postmodern Baudelaire, on the lookout for strange and revealing changes in the look of the city. The book has a vivid and atmospheric style, really unlike anything I've read before. I'm especially interested in writing on the city and this is one of the most exciting works I've ever read on the subject. As well as being entertaining travel writing, it's also a brilliant 'theory of the city'. It's probably most suitable as reading for visual artists, architects and students. The only thing I wasn't keen on was the author's caustic comments on Wim Wenders, but I suppose he can be forgiven that! Highly recommended - writing on the city doesn't come more thrilling and probing than this. -

Have you ever wondered about the Tertiary CURRICULUM for Film & Media Studies?
