Thinking Allowed: Imagination and the City In Association with the Open University Hosted by Laurie Taylor with Will Self
How does the way we imagine the city match up to the realities of urban life? How is our experience of the city, affected by the ideas, fears and fantasies we have about it? When crime statistics say one thing and fear says another, what kind of social reality does the fantasy create?
Join the debate and have your say as social science meets art, and Will Self, novelist and ‘psychogeographer' faces urban sociologists and city ethnographers to discuss the role of the imagination in the reality of city life.
