Overview
Contemporary metropolises, where ephemerality and speed assume fundamental economic roles, propitiate the emergence of ambiances and imaginaries about ideal or dream cities. In this paper, we aim to study, from a reading of the anthropology of emotions and urban studies, an evasion situation: the fantastic short story A Tale of Two Cities, from the Sandman comics, by Neil Gaiman. In the short story, the dream city becomes a labyrinth of significations from which individuals seek to escape. Methodologically, from a qualitative, hermeneutic-interpretative perspective, we read text and images from the comic, observing the imagined city as an attempt of evasion driven by the question about how fear and mediatized interaction produce meanings about the contemporary city. As a preliminary result, we observed that in the comic the individual is divided between the security of private space and the desire to launch himself into the unknown space, to encounters and death.
