Abstract:
The author looks at the phenomenon of urbanization, and argues for an `archaeology of the city'. Building on Habermas' work on the public sphere, the article contends that the cityscape, just like the domestic sphere, is a domain for carving out social identities. It also contends that material agency can best be understood as a form of meaningful emergence through bricolage. The arguments are explored through an empirical case study on zoos and railway stations in nineteenth-century Europe. Both institutions developed around the same time, often in each other's vicinity. Drawing on research into zoo studies, transport history, cultural history and urbanism, it is argued that zoos and stations were instrumental in transforming the nineteenth-century cityscape into a bourgeois space that provided gateways to the outside world.
