4:00pm Bombay: The Imagination of the Modern City - Food: Reception food (after talk)
Location: Clements Library
The Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies
Presents:
The Thursday Series
Lecture
with
Gyan Prakash
Princeton University
“Bombay: The Imagination of the Modern City”
The city is dead. Urban theorists tell us that the city no longer exists as a distinct, bounded entity. Urban sprawl and globalization have turned cities into barely legible nodes in vast systems of communication, and transnational flows of people, commodities, images, and ideas. The lecture examines this discourse through the historical changes in Bombay/Mumbai, the career of the modern “city on the sea.”
