Abstract

This is an article by Seo Young-pyo, the sociologist, combining political philosophy with social criticism in an elegant style. He insists that creating the city for people, not for the capital, requires more than rules to elucidate the structural contradictions, or the social movement suggesting normative goals; only by regaining "the sense of body" distorted in the process of the rapid urbanization, could we have a keen awareness of the violence of the capitalistic time-place. This article delivers the following message: what we need now is new city revolutions toward the post-capitalist society.
