Why do we look down when we meet a stranger in town? This question is asked by Richard Sennett in his study of the history of urban planning. Analyzing a variety of urban objects (from ancient gymnasiums to Turkish baths in New York), as well as works of art (from Renaissance engravings to graffiti in the subway), the author shows how the fear of openness to a stranger was formed, how an impenetrable wall was erected between internal and external life and how the physical structure of the city and architecture changed in connection with this. Sennett formulates the principles of the art of openness and sympathy: he shows how to cope with the complexity and diversity of urban existence, how to create a space in which you can see the other without fear and open yourself to his gaze.
Richard Sennett is an American historian and sociologist, professor of sociology at the London School of Economics and a senior fellow at the Center for Capitalism and Society at Columbia University.
