Bremner speaks of a way of being in the world that is nomadic

摘要

Lindsay Bremner's central thesis is that a city becomes a city analogously to the way in which a book becomes a book. Reading is to a book what dwelling, walking, playing, working and the rest is to the city. City dwellers are like readers. Just as anonymous readers assert the uniqueness of a work, so anonymous citizens, through their inattentive, distracted, careless daily lives assert the 'citiness' of a city. For this there are no words, only routines, gestures, desires, textures, sounds, shadows, light, glamour, noise and money.
