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.\u003cbr\u003e Far 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: The City beyond the Place   vii\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJean-Christophe Bailly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Preface: The Uncivil City   xi\u003cbr\u003e The City in the Distance   1\u003cbr\u003e First Part (1987): In the Distance . . .
