In selected twentieth- and twenty-first-century texts it discovers a shift from oceanic, place-based knowledge to an atmospheric, placeless circulation of information. Consonant with the displacements of the Information Age, this book reads contemporary narrative as it imagines and navigates today's virtual spaces. An important conclusion of the book is that intellectual resources are finite and should be used sustainably. Thus, arguing against a conventional comparative approach, this book proposes reading practices that resist the tendency toward an oversupply of reworked literary contexts that seems bent on matching the reach of the World Wide Web. Instead, the book reimagines place as a practice in the way it is communicated and narrated. Ultimately, this book empowers the reader to reimagine a future for narrative in the Information Age. 410 0$aThe New Urban Atlantic 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFiction 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aCultural Theory 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aLiterary History. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aCultural Theory. 676 $a809.3/04 700 $aAhlberg$b S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062499 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255228303321 996 $aAtlantic Afterlives in Contemporary Fiction$92526112 997 $aUNINA
