The Urban Spectator: American Concept-Cities from Kodak to Google (Interfaces: Studies in Visual Culture) ReviewI'm born, raised and have lived all my life in the City of Boston, and Gordon's book got me thinking about how we "construct" or conceptualize cities through the use of visual media. It is not something that had ever occurred to me, and as I read his book I found myself nodding and thinking, "yes, yes, that's so true." I particularly like the chapter on "Nostalgia and the Urban Narrative." It talks about a major historic renovation in Boston in the 1970s (Quincy Market) that I watched and, again, this book got me to think about historic preservation in a different way.
For an academic book, this is nicely written and it is handsomely designed, too -- with lots of photos. Great book for anyone interested in cities or in visual media, especially photography.The Urban Spectator: American Concept-Cities from Kodak to Google (Interfaces: Studies in Visual Culture) Overview
