This collection grew out of the international conference entitled “Arts and
the City” hosted by Károli Gáspár University and the Hungarian Academy of
Sciences in 2019. With speakers from across the world, this scholarly event
reflected the diversity and deeply interdisciplinary character of contemporary
urban studies and its relation to inclusive artistic practices. Thus, this
book offers global academic perspectives on the function, relevance and social
embeddedness of art in selected European and North-American cities and, as
occasional detours, in other parts of the world. The three main sections of
the book are entitled “Public Art Considerations”, “War, Travel and
Resistance”, and “London: Word, Action and Image”. The collection explores
mainly 20th and 21st century urban phenomena, with three chapters exploring
city culture in earlier eras. This book will be valuable reading for students,
academics, policy makers and anyone with an interest in urban culture,
cultural geography, literature, art history and art theory.
