Abstract

This paper aims at providing a critical re-reading of smart city discourses on the basis of the Lefebvrian concepts of urban revolution and urban society. First, it criticizes the Korean smart city discourses for their state-centered developmentalism, industrialism, and techno-determinism. Second, it provides a critical analysis on the smart city phenomena on the basis of the Lefebvrian concepts of urban revolution and urban society. In particular, it criticizes the ‘methodological nationalism’ and ‘methodological cityism’ inherent in the Korean smart city discourses, and suggests to see the smart city pheonomena through the urban lens, not through the ‘city’ perspective. Also, it discusses the ways in which the urban processes of assembling and encountering can be positively and negatively associated with smart technologies. Finally, it emphasizes that the construction of emancipatory urban society requires radical politics of encounter that resists against all kinds of forces separating between people, things and spaces in urban society.
