Drawing on his widely discussed accounts of sense and of the fraught question of community, Nancy views the city as the site of a disposition that is constantly undergoing metamorphoses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFar from an abstract account, Nancy attends in the most concrete way possible to the workings of a city not typically taken as paradigmatic, Los Angeles. As Jean-Christophe Bailly suggests in his foreword, Nancy joins Walter Benjamin in thinking the city not from an external vantage point, but on its own terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Luc Nancy (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJean-Luc Nancy\u003c\/b\u003e (1940-2021) was Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Universit? de Strasbourg and one of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century's foremost thinkers of politics, art, and the body.
