Andrew's latest book Cities of Signs: Learning the logic of urban spaces is now available from Peter Lang publishing. Charting the ways that public pedagogies mobilise cultural logics within urban space, Cities of Signs draws on cultural studies, urban sociology and critical pedagogy to present a case for reading the city as a signed landscape.
As noted by Jennifer Sandlin 'Going beyond surface level readings of cultural texts to also explore how audiences engage with those texts, Cities of Signs troubles simplistic notions of cultural transmission by explicating the various mechanisms through which signs work to mediate culture. Hence, Cities of Signs presents an account of the ways that public pedagogies actually function'.
Further details can be found via the Peter Lang website.
