With this assignment, I attempted to draw together concepts of resistance to colonization (Couthard) with the larger more theoretical concepts of the urban (Lefebvre), as well as some conceptions of global socialism that I find interesting (Stanek). Urbanization and Stanek go together pretty obviously, but I wanted to try and draw some parallels between Couthard’s ideas of the politics of recognition and the insidious nature of liberal pluralism in relation to Lefebvre’s hypothesis of the process of urbanization. Visually, I felt that the flow of this webpage allowed for some fun experiential qualities, as well as an opportunity to explore a new medium to express ideas and concepts.
