The Street and the City

The Street and The City project  aims to promote the study of the city and the life that has evolved around it throughout more than three hundred years, and thus to promote the interdisciplinary debate within the English studies. It is intended to be a productive space to disseminate the most recent academic researches alongside the cultural and social studies with a special emphasis on Modernity and Contemporaneity periods.

This  project’s goal is to foster an interdisciplinary debate within English studies and of serving as a productive space for disseminating the most recent academic research alongside the studies of culture, urban studies and other fields of interest in relation to cities, their spaces and cultures. It also aims to build an informed view on urban history from which to understand shifts in town hierarchy, and changes in social processes. It will also addresses much-needed analytical frameworks from which to make comparative cultural judgements which will help us to shape our current and future communities.
