Description
Summary:The rise of the city has created a new kind of space where spiritualities interact. Currently, we can describe the situation well, but we have struggled to develop a deep reading of the city as a new kind of space for spiritualities. This article is an attempt to experiment with readings beyond our current zero-sum reading of space for urban spiritualities. I give a test to move beyond zero-sum readings and offer three alternative ways of reading space of the city where spiritualities interact, namely: minimalism, social semiotics and Jungian symbolics.
