About doorman and what they don't say

30/8/2024

 
I just published a short research provocation in Nature Cities in the section "I and the city" on one of the most fascinating urban archives that exists: entry halls and their staff.

The article is the back cover of the current issue of the journal and you can read it here.

Enjoy!

Abstract
Maintaining one’s reputation is a central concern in Latin American cities, and the doormen of buildings have a crucial part to play. Tilmann Heil delves deeper into the intricate dynamics of Rio de Janeiro’s entry halls and highlights how they operate as urban microcosms in which reputation, security and care materialize across structural inequality.
