Join the Concordia Ethnography Lab for a thought-provoking exploration of urban life with Durham University professor Colin Mcfarlane, as he challenges conventional narratives and invites us to reimagine the cityscape!
In this presentation, Colin Mcfarlane will delve into his recent research on urban fragments and waste, asking: “how do we write differently about urban life?”. Mcfarlane will explore various conceptual frameworks, writing techniques, and ideological stances that could influence our perception and portrayal of urban existence. The discussion will highlight both the opportunities and obstacles, as well as the unresolved inquiries and overlooked aspects, within this discourse.
