In urban studies, disproportionate attention has been given to a small set of privileged ?first? cities. This volume problematizes the dominance of such alpha cities, offering a wide perspective on ?second cities? and their literature. The volume is divided into three themed sections. ?In the Shadow of the Alpha City? problematizes the image of cities defined by their function and size, bringing out the contradictions and contestations inherent in cultural productions of second cities, including Birmingham and Bristol in the UK, Las Vegas in the USA, and Tartu in Estonia. ?Frontier Second Cities? pays attention to the multiple and trans-national pasts of second cities which occupy border zones, with a focus on Narva, in Estonia, and Turkish/Kurdish Diyarbakir. The final section, ?The Diffuse Second City?, examines networks the diffuse secondary city made up of interlinked small cities, suburban sprawl and urban overspill, with literary case studies from Italy, Sweden, and Finland. 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?21st century 606 $aLiterature?Philosophy 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 606 $aLiterary Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/812000 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aUrban Studies/Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?21st century. 615 0$aLiterature?Philosophy. 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aUrban Studies/Sociology. 676 $a809 702 $aFinch$b Jason$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAmeel$b Lieven$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSalmela$b Markku$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255091303321 996 $aLiterary Second Cities$92539888 997 $aUNINA
