This captivating book delves into an innovative interdisciplinary approach, which sees literary works as a lens through which to contemplate the city. Far beyond mere depictions of the city as a visually captivating setting, these literary reflections offer a critical examination of the urban landscape. How can we understand the spatial dynamics of cities that are evolving beyond the traditional modern metropolis of the early 20th century? How can we navigate the complex relationship between individual urban inhabitants and their urban environment, when neither spaces nor discourses of the city provide clear answers to the question of their belonging? Moreover, how do the human body and technological mediations interact with the urban surroundings, and how should we approach these interactions?
To address these profound questions, this book employs a rigorous analytical framework, focusing on concepts such as heterotopia, non-place, and the posthuman. By carefully examining literary texts, the book unravels the intricate tapestry of urban experiences and sheds light on the complex interplay between individuals, spaces, and technologies. This interdisciplinary approach appeals to scholars and students across a wide range of fields, including Urban Studies, Literary Studies, Geography, and Architecture.
Whether you are an urban enthusiast, a literary scholar, or someone passionate about understanding the complexities of urban environments, this book offers a thought-provoking and enriching journey into the heart of the city. Prepare to be captivated by its insights and challenged by its innovative perspective on urban life.
