Considering translocal and transcultural writing as a global phenomenon, this book draws on multidisciplinary research, from globalisation theory to the study of narratives to urban studies, to explore a corpus of thirty-two novels—by authors such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dionne Brand, Kiran Desai, and Xiaolu Guo—set in a total of ninety-seven cities. Lena Mattheis examines six of the most common strategies used in contemporary urban fiction to make translocal experiences of the world narratable and turn them into relatable stories: simultaneity, palimpsests, mapping, scaling, non-places, and haunting. Combining and developing further theories, approaches, and techniques from a variety of research fields—including narratology, human geography, transculturality,diaspora spaces, and postcolonial perspectives—Mattheis develops a set of cross-disciplinary techniques in literary urban studies.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | narrative studies; urban literary studies; literature and cities; city novels; geocriticism; postcolonial | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-66687-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-66689-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-66687-3Series ISSN 2523-7888 Series E-ISSN 2523-7896 | | issn_series | 2523-7888 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
