This volume zooms in on the transformation of the city/metropolis from the standpoints of work/political economy, sustainability, security/surveillance and race., focusing on how the city is experience/sensed across different communities of people. Springing from diverse traditions of thought and methodological perspectives, including politics, ethnography, philosophy, and urban planning, the chapters offer the opportunity to capture the city as a puzzle of perceptions and experiences. In this same direction the multiplicity of spaces/times – the Mexico Federal District, Port-of-Spain, Shanghai, Milan, Paris, Buenos Aires and Puno - are the reference points of the chapters to indicate how their sociability, experientialities and sensibilities are organized. The book, at the same time, constitutes an opportunity to analyze the possibilities of including trust, reciprocity and equality as axes for looking at the "life-of-the-cities” as a central component of a new form of politics of sensibilities.Adrian Scribano is Director of the Centre for Sociological Research and Studies at the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research of Argentina. Margarita Camarena Luhrs is Research at the Institute for Social Research, National Autonomous University of Mexico. Ana Lucia Cervio is Researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council of Argentina.
