In 2003, Norman M. Klein's docufable »Bleeding Through« raised questions of urban aesthetics and memory as part of the multimedia documentary »Bleeding Through: Layers of Los Angeles, 1920-1986.« Now, 20 years later, this important text is reissued along with several essays addressing its central themes, such as the aesthetics and politics of urban memory, the development of Los Angeles since the 20th century, the role of urban imaginaries in US politics, or media evolution in the 21st century. The volume also features a long interview with Klein and two docufables from Klein's celebrated study »The History of Forgetting: Los Angeles and the Erasure of Memory«, one being the kernel of the novella, the other imagining Walter Benjamin in L.A. Finally, the book contains links to two films featuring much of the multimedia material contained in the first edition.

Metropolitan research requires multidisciplinary perspectives in order to do justice to the complexities of metropolitan regions. This volume provides a scholarly and accessible overview of key methods and approaches in metropolitan research from a uniquely broad range of disciplines including architectural history, art history, heritage conservation, literary and cultural studies, spatial planning and planning theory, geoinformatics, urban sociology, economic geography, operations research, technology studies, transport planning, aquatic ecosystems research and urban epidemiology. It is this scope of disciplinary - and increasingly also interdisciplinary - approaches that allows metropolitan research to address recent societal challenges of urban life, such as mobility, health, diversity or sustainability.

Urbanität wird von den Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes weniger im Sinne des schillernden Begriffs verstanden, der seit der Antike als Chiffre für kultivierte Lebensart und Rhetorik und in der Gegenwart vor allem für verdichtete Bebauung verwendet wird, sondern vielmehr für die medialen Formen und Strategien, in denen Urbanität inszeniert und Eigenarten des Urbanen akzentuiert werden. Ausgegangen wird von einem kulturgeschichtlichen Medienbegriff, der nach den kulturellen Bedingungen von Sinnstiftung fragt und auch Prozesse der Vermittlung in der Zeit vor dem Buchdruck und den Massenmedien einbezieht. Der Band enthält Beiträge aus den Bereichen Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Romanistik, Anglistik und Medienwissenschaft.
