CITY AS AN EMOTIONAL SPACE

Abstract

The article focuses on the analysis of urban culture as a product
of emotional capitalism. This refers to culture in which the key
role plays visual consumption, aestheticization and iconic industry
(i.e. tourism, photo, design and fashion) and also economic and
emotional discourses are closely interwined with each other. Taking
into account the variety of process of emotionalization, the author
of the article focuses her attention on the aestheticization of the
city and critical examination of its separate forms – diversification,
militarization and domestication of city space
