A Performative Critique of the American City: the Urban Practice of Skateboarding, 1958-1998

About skateboarding, cities, and urban culture. An amazing essay by Iain Borden * on the interrelationship between cities and skateboarding, in which the author seeks to "focus on the compositional and representational mode of skateboarding, to consider how it represents the city without maps, and how it speaks something of the city, without recourse to theory or texts." Quote this in your term paper and make your teacher happy. (Full Article) Search *
