Faces and the City advances the understanding of the role of faces and face representations, their meanings and interpretations, in physical and digital urban space.
The comprehensive study builds a typology of biological, represented and digital faces within urban space and presents an interdisciplinary approach to the facial presence in urban space, which it is used to analyse in depth urban faces and facial representation in public art, monuments, memorials as well as memorial practices, including digital ones.
This innovative volume will interest PhD students and scholars in semiotics, visual communication, digital humanities, cultural geography and urban studies, as well as those working in urban planning and design, architecture, memory studies and art history.
Federico Bellentani is a Post-doc Researcher at the University of Turin, Italy, within the ERC Consolidator Project FACETS (Face Aesthetics in Contemporary E-Technological Societies).
