More about the book

Focusing on the concept of phantasmagorias, the book delves into the dream-like and ghost-like experiences inherent in urban life. It draws on the theories of notable thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Sigmund Freud, and Georg Simmel to uncover how these surreal experiences shape the perception of modern cities. By examining the commonplace yet complex nature of these phantasmagorias, the work reveals the intricate ways in which urban environments influence human experience and understanding.
