| Title | Interrogating urban projections in audio-visual 'smart city' narratives |
| Year | 2020 |
| Published | |
| Abstract | Heeding calls to broaden the scope of smart city discourse analysis to include visual representations and building on Regina Queiroz's notion of "publicity without a public", this article scrutinizes audio-visual smart city narratives from an actually existing (aspiring) smart city. A meticulous analysis of the interplay of different expressive modes within those narratives is followed by a contextual analysis and discussion with a view to reconstructing underlying notions of sustainability and security as key aspects of increasing claims to citizen-centred smart urbanism. The results provide concrete illustrations of the maxim of "pursuing neoliberal goals by letting people think (wrongly) that other legitimate goals are being pursued". |
