Sinopsis

Night is a foundational element of human and animal life on earth, but its interaction with the social world has undergone significant transformations during the era of globalization. As the economic activity of the âÇÖdaytimeâÇÖ city has advanced into the night, other uses of the night as a time for play, for sleep or for escaping oppression have come increasingly under threat.This bookálooks atáthe relationship between night and society in contemporary cities. It identifies that while theories of âÇÖplanetary urbanizationâÇÖ have traced the spatial spread of urban forms, the temporal expansion of urban capitalism has been less well mapped. It argues that, as a key part of planetary being, understanding what goes on at night in cities can add nuance to debates on planetary urbanization. Aáseries of practices and spaces that we encounter in the night-time city are explored. These include: the maintenance and repair of infrastructure, the aesthetics of the urban night, nightlife andáthe night-time economy, the home at night, and the ecologies of the urban night. Taking these forward the book will ask whether the night can reveal some of the boundaries to what we call âÇÖthe urbanâÇÖ in a world of cities, and will call for a revitalized and enhanced âÇÖnightologyâÇÖ to study these limits.
