520			_a"This book explores the conditions under which violent and negative emotions can erupt to the detriment of others, and elucidates through fine-grained exploration what underlies racist, homophobic, sexist or any other phobic/ist exclusionary practices, so that it becomes possible in some way to expose and confront them. At the same time this book uncovers and reveals some of the many and serendipitous sites of enchantment and pleasure to be found in the city." "With numerous photographs and drawings City Publics not only throws new light on encounters with others in public space, but also destabilises dominant, sometimes simplistic, universalised accounts and helps us reimagine urban public space as a site of potentiality, difference and enchanted encounters."--Jacket.
