Lecture
Adrian Majuru: THE CITY FROM OUR FACE
Part of Pavilion Magazine lecture series.
Thursday, May 7, 19:00
Urban anthropology occupies a small sequence within general anthropology and it concerns groups of people or individuals who are living in the urban environment.
Following the continuos process of human development, in variable geographical conditions, some favourable and some unfavourable, describing and explaining the factors of pressure and human shaping, the peoples actions and reactions in the confrontation with real life, following and analyzing what's happening during the deployment of diverse phenomenons, knowing exactly from what it began and where it stands now, what were the stages that had to be accomplished, extracting some representative "moments" of this process and "freezing" them into museum exhibits, this are some of the basic activities of an urban anthropology museum.
"The city on our faces" wants to open an archeological site in the mind of each one of us, to induce an attitude towards others and eventually to force an affective and emotional forecast, between the people and the city consumed by each generation.
Adrian Majuru is writer, historian, doctor in human geography.
He wrote nine books about city of Bucharest.
