Isi artikel

The self and the city interrelate; both the self and the city are reflexive projects. Moreover, these reflexive projects are dialectally interrelated. Identity is not expressed in actions but (per-)formed through actions. Performativity entails a dialogue, with others and with the urban environment. The meaning of the self is public and shown in its created forms: the city. Knowledge is grounded not in theory but in practice, i.e. knowledge of the city is shown in social practices, styles and forms. The unforeseen and unwanted consequences of the urban risk society cause anxiety, which in turn causes segregation, exclusion and architecture of fear. To overcome this, we citoyens need creativity as a virtue; the density of a megalopolis could also lead to an innovative attitude, hence the experiences of the creative communities in Bandung.
