我的出发点是，西方城市经常被描绘成处于灾难的边缘。事实上，一些当代作家会争辩说，他们从来没有更接近这一边缘。本文的第一部分反对这种倾向，重点是维修和维护活动的优势。在研究了这种被遗忘的基础设施的状态之后，在本文的第二部分，我将研究为什么这种卡桑德拉解释如此普遍。我认为，特别是，它借鉴了厌世的源泉，这是很少在城市的著作中表达，因为社会性往往与喜欢混淆。然而，在我看来，直面厌世情绪是至关重要的，然后，在本文的第三部分，我认为，目前在城市中，各种各样的情感政治正在聚集在一起，它们可以通过各种各样的小成就来对抗厌世情绪，但它们不会把这种政治的实践误认为是对完美的追求。
I take as my starting point the fact that Western cities are often depicted as on the brink of catastrophe. Indeed some contemporary authors would argue that they have never been closer to that brink. The first part of this paper argues against this tendency by focusing on the preponderance of activities of repair and maintenance. Having looked at the state of this forgotten infrastructure, in the second part of the paper I turn to an examination of why this Cassandra interpretation is so prevalent. I argue that, in particular, it draws on wellsprings of misanthropy which are rarely voiced in writings on cities because sociality is too often confused with liking. Yet it seems vital to me to tackle misanthropy head on. Then, in the third part of the paper, I argue that currently there is a coming together in cities of all kinds of affective politics of concern which can act, through all manner of small achievements, as a counter to misanthropy but which do not mistake the practice of this politics for a search after perfection.
