Abstract:

Cities contain some of the more audacious examples of neoliberalism, but at the same time they are also among the principal sites and stakes for the generation of oppositional movements and alternative social visions. Cities may count as bastions of the market order, but they also define many of its most vulnerable flanks. (Leitner, Peck and Sheppard)1 Someone, you or me, comes forward, and says: I would like to learn to live finally… To learn to live: a strange watchword. Who would learn? From whom? To teach to live, but to whom? Will we ever know how to live and first of all what 'to learn to live' means? And why 'finally'? (Derrida)2
