INNLIVE's NEW COLUMN: Urban Charisma On 'Mythologies'

Cities are charismatic entities. Both in and of themselves by virtue of their history and their mythologies, but also as sites where charismatic figures emerge on the basis of their capacity to interpret, manage and master the opacity of the city. 

The specificity of the urban can neither be understood through the city's functions nor the dynamics of its social networks. The urban is also a way of being in the world and must be understood as a dense and complex cultural repertoire of imagination, fear and desire. 

We propose to understand the urban and its charismatic potential through three registers: the sensory regimes of the city; the specific forms of urban knowledge and intelligibility; and the specific forms of power, connectivity and possibility which we call urban infra-power.

We invite the qualified writers, reserchers and journalists to contribute writings not more than 1000 words with relevant images and a catchy caption to feature in our new weekly column 'Urban Charishma'. All your entries will reach us on or before Monday on every week. The column will go live on every Wednesday. 

More details and your writings, please email to editor@innlive.net and innlivenetwork@gmail.com
