URBAN ANTHROPOLOGY: BETWEEN URBANISM AND EVERYDAY LIFE
DOI: 10.23951/2312-7899-2019-1-13-31
The work introduces a framework idea of the subject of urban anthropology on the basis of an analysis of the difference between classical urbanism and the so-called new urbanism of everyday life. Classical urbanism is associated with an attempt to describe and explain the city as a special reality, with an attempt to build a theory of the city and to present it in a certain stable construct. According to this construct, the city has a center, borders, periphery, sustainable models and ways of living. This idea comes from the model of an ancient city, which has its own sacral (temple) center, to which all roads led. The neourbanism of everyday life tries to retain in its presentation the fluidity of an everyday city in which objects and buildings are not important, but people living in it. The urbanism of everyday life tries to feel the city from within and not as an object, but as a space of residence and eventfulness. For such an understanding, another way of mastering urban space is suggested-the so-called flaneurism as a method. The article describes the specifics of flanking and the limitations of this method. In this paper we propose a flaneur tool, a cartoid other than a mental map. To compose the cartoid are the key points, the requirements for its compilation - a support, a landmark, a place, a boundary, a horizon.
Keywords: urbanism, everyday life, urban everyday life, urban anthropology, flaneur, mental map, cartoid, navigation
