Once the least dense American metropolis, Los Angeles is now the country's densest urbanized area and one of the most culturally heterogeneous cities in the world. Soja takes us through this urban metamorphosis, analyzing urban restructuring, deindustrialization and reindustrialization, the globalization of capital and labor, and the formation of an information-intensive New Economy. By examining his own evolving interpretations of Los Angeles and the debates on the so-called Los Angeles School of urban studies, Soja argues that a radical shift is taking place in the nature of the urbanization process, from the familiar metropolitan model to regional urbanization. By looking at such concepts as new regionalism, the spatial turn, the end of the metropolis era, the urbanization of suburbia, the global spread of industrial urbanism, and the transformative urban-industrialization of China, Soja offers a unique and remarkable perspective on critical urban and regional studies.City planningCaliforniaLos AngelesSociology, UrbanCaliforniaLos AngelesRegional planningCaliforniaLos AngelesElectronic books.City planningSociology, UrbanRegional planning307.1/2160979494Soja Edward W242718MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463976303321My Los Angeles2457257UNINA03944nam 2200733 450 991079842060332120200520144314.00-8232-6789-X10.1515/9780823267897(CKB)3710000000747370(EBL)4545500(DE-B1597)554918(DE-B1597)9780823267897(MiAaPQ)EBC4545500(OCoLC)941700469(Au-PeEL)EBL4545500(CaPaEBR)ebr11237385(EXLCZ)99371000000074737020160812h20162016 uy 0engur|nu---|u||utxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPracticing the city early modern London on stage /Nina LevineFirst edition.New York :Fordham University Press,2016.20161 online resource (209 p.)Includes index.0-8232-6787-3 Front matter --Contents --Acknowledgments --Introduction: Presupposing the Stage --1.

The Place of the Present: Making Time and The Roaring Girl --Epilogue: The Place of the Spectator --Notes --IndexIn late-sixteenth-century London, the commercial theaters undertook a novel experiment, fueling a fashion for plays that trafficked in the contemporary urban scene. But beyond the stage’s representing the everyday activities of the expanding metropolis, its unprecedented urban turn introduced a new dimension into theatrical experience, opening up a reflexive space within which an increasingly diverse population might begin to “practice” the city. In this, the London stage began to operate as a medium as well as a model for urban understanding. Practicing the City traces a range of local engagements, onstage and off, in which the city’s population came to practice new forms of urban sociability and belonging. With this practice, Levine suggests, city residents became more self-conscious about their place within the expanding metropolis and, in the process, began to experiment in new forms of collective association. Reading an array of materials, from Shakespeare and Middleton to plague bills and French-language manuals, Levine explores urban practices that push against the exclusions of civic tradition and look instead to the more fluid relations playing out in the disruptive encounters of urban plurality.English dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismCity and town life in literatureTheater and societyEnglandLondonHistoryTheaterEnglandLondonHistory16th centuryTheaterEnglandLondonHistory17th centuryLondon (England)In literature1 and 3 Henry IV.Englishmen for my Money.London Stage.Sir Thomas More.The Roaring Girl.early modern London.theater as medium.urban networks.urbanization.English dramaHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.City and town life in literature.Theater and societyHistory.TheaterHistoryTheaterHistory822/.309358421 Levine Nina S.1950-1200893MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798420603321Practicing the city3018279UNINA
