商品描述

"This collection maps the terrain of an 'inter-discipline' that cuts across and draws together literary studies, philosophy, architecture and visual culture, to name just some of the domains with which its contributors engage. Ranging in time from the nineteenth century into imagined futures, and across our world and others, the volume helps us reimagine and rethink questions of urban existence, coexistence and community, and shows how now more than ever, thinking through forms of urban utopia inevitably involves thinking in planetary terms."--Edward Welch, Carnegie Professor of French University of Aberdeen, UK
Utopia, Equity and Ideology in Urban Texts: Fair and Unfair Cities explores the complex interrelations of three key critical topics across a diverse range of urban writing. Interrogating the links and tensions between aesthetic and political priorities in the representation and imagining of urban life, the volume engages with work from a wide variety of linguistic and cultural origins and across a range of textual practices having the urban phenomenon as a common framing concern. Individual contributions discussing genre and literary fiction, poetic writing, documentary and essayistic texts, planning manifestos and municipal communications materials serve to demonstrate that the nuanced treatments of urban experience and potential which may be gleaned from across this textual spectrum act as a pragmatic corrective to purely conceptual approaches. As such, the volume consolidates the emerging dialogue between the fields of utopian studies and literary urban studies, understanding these as complementary approaches to the reading of the city and its textual prolongations.
Michael G. Kelly is Senior Lecturer in French and Director of the Ralahine Centre for Utopian Studies at the University of Limerick.
Mariano Paz is Lecturer in Spanish and Associate Director of the Ralahine Centre for Utopian Studies at the University of Limerick.

這本書集描繪了一個跨學科的領域,將文學研究、哲學、建築和視覺文化等多個領域的內容融合在一起,這些都是其貢獻者所涉獵的領域之一。該書的時間範圍從十九世紀延伸至想像中的未來,涵蓋我們的世界及其他世界,幫助我們重新想像和思考城市存在、共存和社區的問題,並顯示出如今思考城市烏托邦的形式比以往任何時候都更需要以行星的視角進行思考。--Edward Welch,英國阿伯丁大學法語卡內基教授。《烏托邦、公平與城市文本中的意識形態:公平與不公平的城市》探討了三個關鍵批評主題之間的複雜相互關係,涵蓋了多樣的城市寫作。該書質疑了在城市生活的表現和想像中,審美與政治優先事項之間的聯繫和緊張關係,並涉及來自各種語言和文化背景的作品,以及一系列以城市現象為共同關注的文本實踐。各篇貢獻討論了類型和文學小說、詩歌寫作、紀錄片和散文文本、規劃宣言及市政通訊材料,展示了從這一文本光譜中所獲得的對城市經驗和潛力的細緻處理,作為對純概念方法的務實修正。因此,該書鞏固了烏托邦研究與文學城市研究之間新興的對話,將這些視為閱讀城市及其文本延伸的互補方法。Michael G.
