Abstract
This article explores the contradictions we have
to deal with when we try to think our current experience
of the city when using classical approaches. When we attend
to the statements made by Aristotle in his Politics
about the «social nature» of human being and how this is
linked with our moral sensitivity we have to conclude that
this doesn’t work anymore for contemporary cities. In this
sense, the city Los Ángeles (CA, USA) is just an example
of some tendencies that we can see all over the world
about the way contemporary urban experience has to do
more with some forms of solitude, alienation and paranoia
than with an «integrate life» or with the genuine human
experience suggested by the classics. We try to show this
analyzing some cultural products referred to the city of
Los Ángeles as well as some theoretical reflections about
postmodernity
