Introducing The City Unfinished

In this episode, Justine Laurent talks to Anastasiya Halauniova about peeing in the city. As you’ll hear, peeing is political and not all bodies are offered the same conditions for this basic – and often urgent – human need. Listen in!

Episode 1: Peeing is political, with Justine Laurent

This episode is all about Amsterdam sounds and soundscapes. Is Amsterdam a loud city? Also, what does it mean to be a loud city? Is it all about the decibels, or are other factors also shaping whether or not an urban sound is heard as a pleasure or a nuisance? Listen to our conversation with urban sociologist Edda Bild and find out.

Episode 2: Sounds, soundscapes and annoyance, with Edda Bild

Episode 3: Smelling the past in the present, with Caro Verbeek

This podcast experiment brings together urban researchers and residents around the political practices, tensions and challenges shaping our cities today. Here, the urban is a process that is always in the making and, because of that, always sharpening and shifting the tools and approaches we use to make sense of it.  

We kick-off with a three-episode season focused on the embodied dimension of urban politics in Amsterdam – the city where we are based.

This podcast is made possible by a Seed Grant awarded by the Centre for Urban Studies of the University of Amsterdam. 

Talking, thinking and doing are by Carolina Frossard, Anastasiya Halauniova, Elisa Fiore and Sarita Jarmack. Sound editing, mixing and original soundtrack are by Luca Di Maio.
