Metropolitan Intimacies: An Ethnography on the Poetics of Daily Life examines intimacy and meaning-making in metropolitan residents’ daily lives. This ethnography based on rich micro-stories situates life poetics amongst other metropolitan processes in three major cities—Madrid, Montevideo, and Mexico City—to reveal the complex meanings around modern urbanity.
