Invisible cities pt.1

Posted by & filed under Media Theory 2 Oleksiuk, Uncategorized.

I found the first half of invisible cities to be very interesting because of the way Calvino explains different aspects of what makes up a city. He does this by describing in great detail these cities and tells little narratives that portray what makes up a city. He talks about many different aspects of a city. Such as: cities and memories, cities and desires, cities and signs, etc.. All of these things he uses to build a city. I really enjoyed that he started off questioning why these cities were here and slowly through his examples he showed you the reason for their existence. I think it is really interesting that even though each city is comprised if the same elements they all have unique personalities. I find this to be true when I look at the differences between cities like Chicago and New York. They are extremely similar as far as what they are comprised of but have very different personalities.
