Introduction: Between Texts and Cities

This issue of Writing Visual Culture springs from the seminar Texts+Cities: From the 1970s to the Present, which Michael Heilgemeir and I organised at the University of Hertfordshire, in January 2014. The seminar and this issue, a partnership between Photography UH and the TVAD research group, are part of our project Texts+Cities, which explores the relationships between texts and urban spaces in contemporary society.
