Overview
In the most innovative account of Tokyo's urban sensations since Roland Barthes' 'Empire of Signs', Stephen Barber in Tokyo Vertigo probes the many ways in which Tokyo projects and hides itself, focusing upon its filmic, photographic, and media cultures as well as its extraordinary urban history of destruction and reconfiguration. Dividing his analysis into three parts, Barber first interrogates the disparate urban zones of Tokyo, from the districts of Shinjuku and Shibuya to the desolate peripheries where the megalopolis falls apart. He then examines Tokyo's sexual and media cultures, through which the city's compulsive fascinations and obsessions exert their power. Finally, he looks at the ways in which European culture collides with Tokyo's urban formations, often generating unprecedented hybrid images and texts.
