Habla ciudad

Edición de la obra Habla ciudad

Hablo de la ciudad [I Speak of the City] is the title of Octavio Paz' poem in which he describes it as a novelty of today and a ruin of tomorrow; as something we all dream and that constantly changes while we dream it, it invents and forgets us. But the imperative: habla, ciudad [Speak, city] does not refer to us but summons us to explain what the city is telling us, to ask, to demand that it speaks to us. This collection of essays explores how the city speaks to us through its conditions and images, its senses and what is felt, its voices and murmurs. Includes texts by Alejandro Hernández Gálvez, Saskia Sassen, Manuel Delgado, Juhani Pallasmaa, Willy Müller, Jordi Hereu, Antanas Mockus, Osvaldo Sánchez, Juan Villoro, David Lida.
