disClosure no. 11 will address a broad range of issues by and through which the metropolis is thought, experienced, represented, and dreamed. Contributions from an array of theoretical perspectives are welcome, including, but not limited to: feminism, poststructuralism, critical theory, Marxism, queer theory, psychoanalysis, and postcolonialism. We invite submissions that take up any aspect of the metropolis. Possible themes and topics might include:

* temporalities, transformations (the metropolis in history, decline & revitalization, gentrification, the future(s) of the metropolis...)
* forms, structures, architectures (morphologies, neighborhoods, sprawl, infrastructures & subterranean spaces, buildings, styles...)
* movements, flows (transportation, velocities, (im)migrations, capital, communications, digitality...)
* identities (race & racialization, sexuality, gender, class, ethnicity, postcoloniality, desire & fear, the body...)
* power (policing, surveillance, criminalization, social exclusions...)
* boundaries, transgressions, contestations (public & private spheres, protests, rallies, riots & revolutions, squatters...)
* theories, discourses, representations (urban planning, new urbanism, reading & writing the city, literature & film, memory...)
* visuality, aesthetics, spectacle (flâneurie, cinematic cities, graffiti, murals, fashion, music, fairs & parades, street & night life, tourism...)
* social justice (labor & civil rights movements, segregation, homelessness...)
* political economies (wealth & poverty, urban governance, postindustrial restructurings, entrepreneurial cities...)
