Abstract
The impetus for this book was a simple idea that pushed me to ask questions concerning the ways in which cities come alive, and, in particular, how immigrants in a city make the place come alive.
Feeling is… without doubt intentional: it is a feeling of ‘something’—the lovable, the hateful, … But it is a very strange intentionality which on the one hand designates qualities felt on things, on persons, on the world, and on the other hand manifests and reveals the way in which the self is inwardly affected.
