In Metropolitan Intimacies: An Ethnography on the Poetics of Daily Life, Francisco Cruces examines intimacy and meaning-making in metropolitan residents’ daily lives. An ethnography based on rich micro-stories, Cruces situates life poetics amongst other metropolitan processes in three major cities—Madrid, Montevideo, and Mexico City—to reveal the complex meanings around modern urbanity.

Francisco Cruces takes us on a fascinating journey through urban life, in which new forms of intimacy develop, breaking down the traditional polarization of private and public. The rich ethnography—an innovative poetic of daily life—explores the entanglements of seemingly trivial details: body movements, surfacing memories, passing moods, cherished routines. Cruces asks: how is intimacy produced and narrated, as an ambivalent theme in city life? This is a ground-breaking book for understanding the mysteries of everyday life and as well as the role of intimacy in the new regime of urbanity.
