Abstract

Nigel Thrift's strictures against reading technological change and the emergence of information space as evidence for increased urban dehumanisation are well founded. Throughout the Modern period, distrust of the performative aspects of urban life has characterised puritan criticism and is linked to an elevation of textual over visual authority. Human corporeality resists techno-power; it has the capacity to escape sociological categorisation as effectively.
