Based on the understanding of ‘the city’ as a signification that has no unique reference, this article presents an epistemocritical frame of reference that proposes that the use of the sign ‘the city’, as a singular universal, references a fiction that appears to account for the urban phenomenon in as much it is life, but in reality negates it in order to dominate it. Within a notion of western history as a dialectic of enlightenment, ‘the city’ appears as a fiction that has perpetuated itself, from Odysseus to the present day, as an instrument of domination. |
