Adsensory urban ecology

Adsensory sign technology, which depicts the human body as both object and subject of inscriptive advertising technologies, is integral to a western capitalist insurantial financialisation of health and wellbeing.

Developing further the theme of adsensory technologies of the sign, in conjunction with Daniel Bell's theory of the codification of knowledge as an axial feature of the structuring of post-industrial society, this book explores gentrification in heterotopic post-industrial urban spaces.

It brings together case studies from London's Grenfell Tower, exploring perilous faadism refurbishment; the City of Bath's decommissioned print works; London's Garden Bridge project and speculative capital regeneration; London's Trafalgar Square busking community and its dialectics of audio-sensory gentrification; and London's Brick Lane and its gentrification of street art.
