ABSTRACT

Bohemia is a lifestyle with thematic elements that can be read through very practical instantiations in a range of urban contexts since its Parisian origins. Both the idea of bohemia and its associated spatial practices have proven durable and portable, which is evident in cities throughout Europe and the United States. But as we will see, each bohemian eruption is both familiar and quite distinctive because of the material and spatial specificities that it encounters in a particular city at a particular time (Lloyd, 2006: 54).
