Synopsis "South and North (Literary Cultures of the Global South) "

This book explores urban life and realities in the cities of the Global South and North. Through literature, film and other forms of media that constitute shared social imaginaries, the essays in the volume interrogate the modes of production that make up the fabric of urban spaces and the lives of their inhabitants. They also rethink practices that engender 'cityness' in diverse but increasingly interlinked conglomerations.Probing 'orientations' of and within major urban spaces of the South -Jakarta, Rio de Janeiro, Tijuana, Delhi, Kolkata, Luanda and Johannesburg -the book reveals the shared dynamics of urbanity built on and through the ruins of imperialism, Cold War geopolitics, global neoliberalism and the recent resurgence of nationalism. Completing a kind of arc, the volume then turns to cities located in the North such as Paris, Munich, Dresden, London and New York to map their coordinates in relation to the South.The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of media and culture studies, city studies, development studies, Global South studies, urban geography, built environment and literature.
