Reading: Simmel+Metropolis
A slightly different format this time for our discussion.
What I would like you to do this time is to select THREE salient features of the urbanite, according to Simmel. Talk about them in some detail, and USE QUOTES from the essay to SUBSTANTIATE your statements. I want you to start thinking of the ways we can use quotes to back up our understanding of a reading.
There are indeed more than three in the essay! Perhaps you can select the three that you find most intriguing!
As usual, ONE POST, TWO REPLIES. And remember that you post first, and then you have access to what others have talked about. That part of the discussion assignment doesn’t change!
I hope you enjoy this reading. I think it’s super interesting!
*****Welcome to our next unit! Gangster movies and ‘urbanites’!!*****
As we discussed in our previous units, the city does shape the persons that live in it, and whether one is born and raised in the city or one migrates to it, the city becomes a part of us. City dwellers–regardless of origin–become so-called URBANITES of varying degrees.
In this unit, we are going to first do a reading from the beginning of the 20th century. Georg Simmel (pronounced like ‘George,’ it’s German!) is an early sociologist who carefully studied how men and women behaved in the city, and how the urban space set limits and boundaries to what they could and could not do. The city, as an economic space, greatly influenced how people interacted with one another and with the city itself. I think it’s important to remember that Simmel wrote the essay in 1903! Some things might sound a bit outdated, but most of it feels very true to our experience of the city today.
This reading is not as hard as Harvey’s! Phew!!
Part of the reason we are reading such an old reading is because our film is an old one! We are going to see Scarface, the 1932 gangster film that became the inspiration to the 1980s Scarface with Al Pacino. This is a super interesting film, and I hope you find it intriguing and fun to write about. It’s very violent, fyi.
The paper for this unit is an analysis of the film in the light of the characteristics of the urbanites that Simmel discusses in his essay.
