While stressing that these narratives are limited in their understanding of the processes of exclusion and unequal flux in experiences of modern automobility, the book works through four case studies in the American works of European-born authors Vladimir Nabokov, Robert Frank, Alfred Hitchcock, and Wim Wenders to unveil an early phenomenology of the postwar American highway, one that anticipates the works of late-twentieth-century spatial theorists Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault, and Marc Augé and sketches a postmodern aesthetic of western mobility and consumptionthat has become synonymous with contemporary America.Studies in Mobilities, Literature, and Culture,2946-4846Literature, Modern20th centuryAmericaLiteraturesLiteraturePhilosophyMotion picturesHistoryCivilizationHistoryTwentieth-Century LiteratureNorth American LiteratureLiterary TheoryFilm and TV HistoryCultural HistoryLiterature, ModernAmericaLiteratures.LiteraturePhilosophy.Motion picturesHistory.CivilizationHistory.Twentieth-Century Literature.North American Literature.Literary Theory.Film and TV History.Cultural History.809.93355809.7Court Elsaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut872314MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484719003321The American Roadside in Émigré Literature, Film, and Photography1947559UNINA02004nam 22004693 450 991100722810332120240607080433.097807844854150784485410(CKB)5690000000423438(MiAaPQ)EBC31368806(Au-PeEL)EBL31368806(Exl-AI)31368806(EXLCZ)99569000000042343820240607d2024 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierIfcee 2024 Earth Retaining Systems, Ground Improvement, and Seepage Control1st ed.Reston :American Society of Civil Engineers,2024.©2024.1 online resource (527 pages)Geotechnical Special Publications ;v.355Intro -- 0001 -- 0002 -- 0003 -- 0004 -- 0005 -- 0006 -- 0007 -- 0008 -- 0009 -- 0010 -- 0011 -- 0012 -- 0013 -- 0014 -- 0015 -- 0016 -- 0017 -- 0018 -- 0019 -- 0020 -- 0021 -- 0022 -- 0023 -- 0024 -- 0025 -- 0026 -- 0027 -- 0028 -- 0029 -- 0030 -- 0031 -- 0032 -- 0033 -- 0034 -- 0035 -- 0036 -- 0037 -- 0038 -- 0039 -- 0040 -- 0041 -- 0042 -- 0043 -- 0044 -- 0045 -- 0046 -- 0047 -- 0048 -- 0049 -- 0050 -- 0051 -- 0052 -- 0053 -- 0054 -- 0055.GSP 355 contains 50 peer-reviewed papers on earth retaining systems, ground improvement, and seepage control presented at the International Foundations Congress and Equipment Expo 2024, held in Dallas, Texas, May 7-10, 2024.Geotechnical Special PublicationsIFCEE 2024 Geotechnical engineeringGenerated by AIEarthworkGenerated by AIGeotechnical engineeringEarthworkMoug Diane M1825111MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911007228103321Ifcee 20244392580UNINA
