An incandescent urbanism. Colour and the provincializing mode of urban perception
If, as Andrea Mubi Brighenti has suggested in the pages of this journal, ‘to be provincial is to be territorialized’ (2007: 39), then perhaps I can make an argument for Belfast to be understood as one of the provincial cities par excellence; it is the exemplary city of a country defined by questions of territoriality (Murtagh, 2002). Because of its political histories, news reporting and cinematic representations, rarely has a city been so culturally over-determined in the recent past as Belfast.
