(In)audible Frequencies: Sounding out the Contemporary Branded City / Carolyn Birdsall -- Red Lights and Legitimate Trade: Paying for Sex in the Branded City / Joyce Goggin -- Visibly Underground: When Clandestine Workers Take the Law into Their Own Hands / Anna-Louise Milne -- Archaeology of the Parisian Underground / Stephen W.

Summary: The postwar histories of Paris and Amsterdam have been significantly defined by the notion of the "underground" as both a material and metaphorical space. Examining the underground traffic between the two cities, this book interrogates the countercultural histories of Paris and Amsterdam in the mid to late-twentieth century. Shuttling between Paris and Amsterdam, as well as between postwar avant-gardism and twenty-first century global urbanism, this interdisciplinary book seeks to create a mirroring effect over the notion of the underground as a driving force in the making of the contemporary European city.
