Ego Concealing City

Modern City, Unconscious Life, Terra IncognitaAbstract
“Unconscious life” is a key concept to understand the life of modern, or even postmodern, cities which are products of inexorable global capitalism. Up to the present, almost of modern cities have been regarded as an outcome of ecological, politico-economic, cultural and technological dynamics of the modern world. This trend of explanations sounds academically reasonable, but it should be reconsidered in some extent from another standpoint. this article insists that, until now, one big story, an unconscious life of the city has been overlooked in the field of urban studies. Besides ecological equilibrium, class conflict, globalization and digitalization, we should also take an unconscious life of the city, which is one of the most important element of the modern urban content, into consideration.
