BIOGRAPHY:
MALCOLM MILES BA (Hons), PhD
I am Professor of Cultural Theory at the University of Plymouth,
UK, where I facilitate the Centre for Critical Cultural Research,
convene research dialogue workshops for researchers and staff in
the Faculty of Arts, supervise research students, and organise research
and post-graduate seminars - see criticalspaces.org.uk.
My current research interests are in critical theory, contemporary
art, and utopianism. These triangulate a field I call Liberation
Aesthetics.
My most recent book is Urban
Utopias (Routledge, 2008), based on a critical reconsideration
of utopian theory and material from an AHRC-funded series of visits
to alternative settlements.
Previous publications include Cities & Cultures (Routledge,
2007) and Urban Avant-Gardes (Routledge, 2004). Art, Space and the
City (Routledge, 1997) remains in print. |
