It is my great pleasure to bring you the very first issue of The Funambulist Magazine. If you are familiar with the online version of The Funambulist and its podcast platform, Archipelago, you know that this issue’s topic is central to the questions asked through their common editorial line. The main intuition formulated in this research consists in the idea that the violence of military organization of the city does not come from outside: the architecture of the city contains this very violence within itself. Its militarization is merely the process by which this violence reveals itself in an explicit manner. In other words, the militarized city is one where a violence common to all cities, appears in its most explicit manifestation.
