Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Urban Informality and Narrative Form brings together literary analysis and spatial planning theory in an interdisciplinary study of urban informality. It examines a diverse array of literary and cinematic fictions from across the globeWest and North Africa, West and South Asia, the Caribbean and Latin Americain dialogue with influential social scientific studies of urban informality. Leading scholar Eric Prieto explores the formal and representational strategies authors have used to address the realities of life in the informal city. He demonstrates the ability of literary texts to provide significant insights into the kinds of real-world concerns that preoccupy planning and policy specialists but that have remained resistant to the more traditional methodologies of urban studies and planning. The book sheds new light on the forces that have led to the prevalence of urban informality in the Global South, while also debunking some common misconceptions about the phenomenon, highlighting the great diversity of subjective experiences hidden behind the euphemistic informal settlement (or the more pejorative slum), and identifying some of the most promising ways forward for the urban poor. At a time when over half of all city dwellers in the Global South live in an informal settlement of some kind, the urgency of the topic could not be clearer.With its global breadth and novel methodology (using urban theory as literary theory), this book will be of interest to scholars of urban literature, postcolonial and world literature, and to social scientists working in the spatial planning and policy fields. Urban Informality and Narrative Form brings together literary analysis and spatial planning theory in an interdisciplinary study of urban informality. It examines a diverse array of literary and cinematic fictions from across the globe in dialogue with influential social scientific studies of urban informality. This item is printed on demand.
