 h the City Seminar) - Ian Borden\, University College London

CONTACT:Noemi Tousignant
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I trace the way in which the urban practice ska
 teboarding has moved from a predominantly marginal position in the city 
 – marginal in geographic\, cultural and economic terms – to play an in
 creasingly central and/or integrated role in urban cultures and developmen
 ts. Practised by tens of millions worldwide\, skateboarding today makes an
  important contribution to our current architecture\, creative industries\
 , commerce\, entrepreneurship and social capital. The talk ranges from Cal
 ifornia in the 1960s and 1970s to London\, Kabul and Indiana in the presen
 t day\, and from concerns with methodological concerns with history and cr
 itical theory to representations in film\, music and art.
