Ann Tso argues these authors write London "psychogeographically" to deconstruct popular visions of London with colonial and neoliberal undertones. Moore's psychogeography consists of bird's-eye views that reveal the brute force threatening to unravel Londonscape from within; Ackroyd's aims to detect London sensuously, since every new awareness recalls an otherworldly London; Sinclair's conjures up a narrative consciousness made erratic by London's disunified landscape. Drawing together the dystopian, the phenomenological, and the postcolonial, Tso explores how these texts characterize "London-ness" as estranging.Literary Urban Studies,2523-7896LiteraturePhilosophyEuropean literatureEthnologyGreat BritainCultureCities and townsHistorySociology, UrbanCultureStudy and teachingLiterary TheoryEuropean LiteratureBritish CultureUrban HistoryUrban SociologyCultural StudiesLiteraturePhilosophy.European literature.EthnologyCulture.Cities and townsHistory.Sociology, Urban.CultureStudy and teaching.Literary Theory.European Literature.British Culture.Urban History.Urban Sociology.Cultural Studies.741.5942800Tso Ann998884MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483282603321The literary psychogeography of London2291635UNINA
