At another peak of antiurban sentiment, this volume brings literary and cultural history and criticism to bear on city lives and spaces, engaging a history of promise and struggle as represented literature, film, and visual arts. Drawing on social science to define the urban condition, but as literature does, focusing on the representation and interpretation of experience, the chapter's authors examine the effects of the large and local forces shaping cities and their denizens' lives, and the street-level activity that remakes cultures and group and individual identities. They examine, among other things, city life under conditions of marginalization, uprooting, precarity and, anonymity in the industrial and post-industrial city; and how people construct lives, cultures, and identities within and against the constraints of urban society, as well as by grasping the opportunities to remake the city. The final suite of essays brings the represented city into conversation with contemporary theory allowing each to test the terms of the other"--  |c Provided by publisher.
