Résumé:

This text charts the confrontations between a "postmodern aesthetic", a "socio-economic `condition' of postmodernity" and a "postmodern paradigm of knowledge". It links the architectural and physical, the aesthetic and the sexual, and the real and the imaginary in a discussion of cities and spaces.
