The City Authentic: How the Attention Economy Builds Urban America (U California Press, 2023) is the first book to explore how our cities gentrify by becoming social media influencers—and why it works. Cities, like the people that live in them, are subject to the attention economy. In The City Authentic, author David A. Banks shows how cities are transforming themselves to appeal to modern desires for authentic urban living through the attention-grabbing tactics of social media influencers and reality-TV stars. Blending insightful analysis with pop culture, this engaging study of New York State's Capital Region is an accessible glimpse into the social phenomena that influence contemporary cities. The rising economic fortunes of cities in the Rust Belt, Banks argues, are due in part to the markers of its previous decay—which translate into signs of urban authenticity on the internet. The City Authentic unpacks the odd connection between digital media and derelict buildings, the consequences of how we think about industry and place, and the political processes that have enabled a new paradigm in urban planning. Mixing urban sociology with media and cultural studies, Banks offers a lively account of how urban life and development are changing in the twenty-first century. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla (Lexington Books, 2023) and Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington Books, 2022). His general area of study is on media representations of people and place. He is currently conducting research on the branding of cities. I am particularly interested in the similarities and differences in how travel and tourism agencies see a city as compared to how residents and visitors see the same city.

What gets labeled as "authentic" is often quite predictable. It's a market-compatible expression of what was once something unique or personal. Authenticity is a vibe—and a valuable one at that."Predictably unique" is how David A. Banks defines authenticity in his book, The City Authentic. Authenticity, or what's "predictably unique," describes how culture, place, and style are packaged to become recognizable—and, therefore, consumable—to a general audience.And while Banks's interest is in the politics of urban planning, his analysis spoke to a question I've pondered for almost as long as I've been a Very Online Person: Why does authenticity often feel so fake?How can a form of expression feel legitimately authentic one day and discernibly contrived or derivative the next? Is it the expression or my perception of it that changes? Why does "authentic" become an aesthetic, a legible set of features that denotes the "real?" And why does formulaic authenticity convey such social capital (or at least promise to)?I tackle these questions and more in this episode!Footnotes: The City Authentic by David A. Banks "'She Looks Like an Instagram:' How Empowerment Became a Brand" by Tara McMullin "The Strange Logic of Value in the Attention Economy" by Tara McMullin The Jargon of Authenticity by Theodor Adorno "Personal Branding and the Crafting of Self" by Tara McMullin The Influencer Industry: The Quest for Authenticity on Social Media by Emily Hund How to be Authentic by Skye Cleary Every episode of What Works is also published as an essay.

David A. Banks is a Lecturer in the Geography and Planning department director of the Globalization Studies program at University at Albany, SUNY. His new book, The City Authentic: How the Attention Economy Builds Urban America, tells us how American cities are branding themselves with crafty historical “authenticity” in order to draw the creative class to populate and revitalize their dying towns. In this conversation, Banks explains how this nostalgia-driven gentrification, amplified by social media, is a powerful engine in 21st century urban planning, as capital endlessly asks us to “eat the past.” Subscribe to Nostalgia Trap to access our massive library of bonus episodes, video essays, and more: https://patreon.com/nostalgiatrap

Returning champion David A. Banks joins us for a supersized discussion about his new book, The City Authentic: How the Attention Economy Builds Urban America. How do cities have to act like social media influencers to attract new flows of capital? How are fundamental dynamics of capitalist urban development — growth machines, rent gaps, spatial fixes, destructive renovation, entrepreneurial competition — updated and upgraded to fit into the techno-financial conditions of today? Why does every downtown have the same damn wine bar now?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demographics of cities shifted. As stay-at-home orders, remote work and bubbling reduced social interaction, and restaurants, venues and arts destinations shut down temporarily, people started reconsidering their decision to remain in a big city. We spoke with two urban theorists about why people were leaving larger cities for smaller ones, how authenticity was marketed using social media influencers, and why smaller and mid-sized cities are underrated.Featuring Avi Friedman, a professor of architecture at McGill University in Montréal, Canada, and David A. Banks, lecturer in the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Albany in New York, US.

“I think that is often what tourism is starting to move towards. Is this existential authentic? And what that means is that you're not even really looking to meet expectations or validate that the thing in front of you is what it says it is. You are trying to recreate who you think you should be in a time that is disconnected from your usual life. Because we're a pretty jaded and suspicious society now. 'Is it a deep fake?' We live in this world of make-believe and fakeness, and you want to get to something that's real. And what's more real than yourself and the story that you tell to yourself about yourself. And if you can really connect to that, you'll feel really good.”David A.

"We have to change how we connect to land. Who gets to control it? Who owns it? Who gets to build on it? There are tons of government subsidies that make it possible for anyone to possibly own a piece of land in the way that most people inhabit the land and own it. We need to change that because there are some things called flood zones. And what we called hundred-year floods are now like 10-year floods. You need to be able to make concrete, specific mitigation, or some sort of change to that land. Right now we're pretty stuck in many places where no authority can say, 'We need to change the city in XYZ ways in order to avoid future catastrophe and flood zones.' "David A.

“I think that is often what tourism is starting to move towards. Is this existential authentic? And what that means is that you're not even really looking to meet expectations or validate that the thing in front of you is what it says it is. You are trying to recreate who you think you should be in a time that is disconnected from your usual life. Because we're a pretty jaded and suspicious society now. 'Is it a deep fake?' We live in this world of make-believe and fakeness, and you want to get to something that's real. And what's more real than yourself and the story that you tell to yourself about yourself. And if you can really connect to that, you'll feel really good.”David A.

The new players in real estate operate much like Spotify, Netflix, and other platforms that charge a subscription for temporary access to more than you could ever buy outright. Unlike Netflix and Spotify, however, the platformized real estate industry has the power to determine where and how we live.

We discuss Chapter 7 of Autonomous Technology: “Complexity and the Loss of Agency.” Ed couldn't be here for this episode, so we're joined again by David Banks, who really stepped up to provide some great insights into understanding our socio-political relationship to complex technical systems designed to keep us in the dark about how and why the things we rely on actually work—and who they work for. We explore the dialectic between increasing complexity and diminishing agency, the poverty to cultural criticism vs. political analysis, and why technologies are not enchanted objects that grant us magical powers.

For a blockbuster of a book club episode, we're joined by friend of the show David Banks to discuss Chapter 6 of Autonomous Technology: “Technological Politics.” We get into an analysis of reverse adaptation in large-scale socio-technical systems, the ways in which human ends become subjugated to technological means, and the relationship between the imperatives of the technological order and the state. Plus, what Marxist-Leninism could learn from a theory of technological politics—and vice versa.

We give y’all a primer on the debates about the “right to repair.” Corporations and conservative think tankers love spouting bad faith arguments that frame the right to repair as an issue of innovation, property, and nationalism. But their lobbying against it really boils down to running interference in favor of ongoing expansions of rentier capitalism and digital enclosure, all while trying to resolve the dual crises of overproduction and underconsumption. Some stuff we reference: • ‘Right to Repair’ Is Bad for Your Health | Tom Giovanetti: wsj.com/articles/right-to-repair-is-bad-for-your-health-11619986159 • Right to Repair Roundup: One Step Forward, One to the Side | Jerri-Lynn Scofield: nakedcapitalism.com/2020/02/right-to-repair-roundup-one-step-forward-one-to-the-side.html • Your Smartphone Should Be Built to Last | Damon Beres: nytimes.com/2021/04/25/opinion/iphone-apple-electronics-technology.html • Why American Farmers Are Hacking Their Tractors With Ukrainian Firmware | Jason Koebler vice.com/en/article/xykkkd/why-american-farmers-are-hacking-their-tractors-with-ukrainian-firmware • Subscriber City | David A.

Automatic for the Bosses by David A. Banks This essay explores how before the pandemic, many of those now working from home may not have given much thought to what it is like to be managed algorithmically, having an app snitch on them the way the “independent contractors” for Lyft or Fiverr are used to. Life on the other side of the convenience trade-off means less privacy from bosses, poorer working conditions, and less leverage to change any of it.

Double check your TOS this week (that's Terms of Service) as Dr. David A. Banks comes back to the show to assess the state of data security and implementation in the Star Trek universe! No one in Trek has an ID or a social media account or watches cable news . . . instead, they're a bunch of Shakespeare-loving, flute-playing beatniks who take their benevolent surveillance state for granted. How did humanity go from dragging Zuck up on Capitol Hill to being OK with having to argue with a computer to keep from dying in the cold of space?In this wide-ranging talk, we look at Trek's conspicuous lack of data privacy, the crew's Victorian pastimes, the role of the media in Trek, "big data" (not Data), and we ask, "Just who's on the Federation Council, anyway?" Plus, we talk future news networks, having "admin" as your auto-destruct password, how the cop procedural killed the western, the David Simon season of DS9, scamming your Andorian grandma's welfare, losing the Spotify servers in WW3, Ensign Tilly's Instagram account, and an Elon Musk hot take!It is your civic duty to listen to this show!Follow David on Twitter and check out his website!http://www.twitter.com/da_bankshttp://www.davidabanks.orgRead Shannon Mattern's article, "Databodies in Codespace"!https://placesjournal.org/article/databodies-in-codespace/Hit the books and learn more about the issues on the show!Treknologyhttps://amzn.to/2MTzABhBiopolitics: An Advanced Introductionhttps://amzn.to/2NnfEpQEverybody Lieshttps://amzn.to/2CqdJg2Join our crew on Patreon and get access to our new feature, Stellar Commentaries!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodClick through our Amazon link on enterprisingindividuals.com to support the show!http://www.enterprisingindividuals.comhttps://www.amazon.com/?tag=jet01-20&linkCode=ezFollow us on Twitter and Facebook for Trek news and updates!http://www.twitter.com/eistpodhttp://www.facebook.com/eistpod

Replicate yourself a tin foil hat and get ready to see the fnords as we overload our cortical implants to discuss "The Voyager Conspiracy!" Writer, researcher, and teacher Dr. David A. Banks joins the show to talk about an episode of Voyager that sees Seven of Nine question everything she thinks she knows about her crewmates and the circumstances that brought them to the Delta Quadrant. Will she expose the lies that are hidden in plain sight . . . or is it all in her fevered mind?It's an episode that challenges the idea that more data equals more insight, and also acts as a canny examination of mental illness. In our talk, David and I discuss the conspicuous absence of transhumanism in the world of Trek, how transporters could mean the death of social media, how net neutrality will disenfranchise marginalized populations, representations of neuroatypicality in sci-fi, and who decides what's "baseline human".Plus, we explore having your cake and complaining about it, asking Alexa if you're a good captain, spinning prosaicism into profundity with TED, being a child of the '90s, and yelling at your boss on the Holodeck!Listen in on The (Subspace) Conversation before Robert Mueller subpoenas us!Find out more about David's work on his website and follow him on Twitter!http://www.davidabanks.org/http://www.davidabanks.org/current_projects/social-themes-in-star-trek/http://www.twitter.com/da_banksGet more info on Theorizing the Web . . . where else?

Vi er kommet til episode 40, og vi har rundet 20 000 nedlastinger, så tusen takk til alle dere som hører på! Denne gangen er det på tide med en tradisjonell episode, med bare Lars og Pål ved mikrofonene. Vi diskuterer mange forskjellige temaer, men det hele dreier seg rundt podkast-kulturen og formidlingen av kunnskap og forskning, særlig av det naturvitenskapelige slaget. Det er mange gamle kjepphester her, men forhåpentligvis med en ny vri og noen nye argumenter for å gjøre det hele matnyttig. Artikkelen «Podcast out» av David A. Banks fra 2016 som vi tok utgangspunkt i finner du på nettsiden The New Inquiry. https://thenewinquiry.com/podcast-out/ ------------------ Logoen vår er laget av Sveinung Sudbø, se hans arbeider på originalkopi.com Musikken er av Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen, se facebooksiden Nygrenda Vev og Dur for mer info. ---------------------------- Takk for at du hører på. Ta kontakt med oss på vår facebookside eller på larsogpaal@gmail.com Det finnes ingen bedre måte å få spredt podkasten vår til flere enn via dere lyttere, så takk om du deler eller forteller andre om oss. Alt godt, hilsen Lars og Pål
