| A pioneering and ingenious study of new forms of emancipatory urbanism emerging in these times of global crisis and resistance. In recent years, urban uprisings, insurrections, riots, and occupations have been an expression of the rage and desperation of our time. So too have they expressed the joy of reclaiming collective life and a different way of composing a common world. At the root of these rebellious moments lies thresholdsâ the spaces to be crossed from cities of domination and exploitation to a common world of liberation. Towards the City of Thresholds is a pioneering and ingenious study of these new forms of socialization and uses of spaceâ self-managed and communalâ that passionately reveals cities as the sites of manifest social antagonism as well as spatialities of emancipation. Activist and architect Stavros Stavrides describes the powerful reinvention of politics and social relations stirring everywhere in our urban world and analyzes the theoretical underpinnings present in these metropolitan spaces and how they might be bridged to expand the commons. |
