Afterword: Urban Possibilities in Times of Crisis, David Pinder. 330 $aThis book demonstrates how city literature addresses questions of possibility. In city literature, ideas of possibility emerge primarily through two perspectives: texts may focus on what is possible for cities, and they may present the urban environment as a site of possibility for individuals or communities. The volume combines reflections on urban possibility from a range of geographical and cultural contexts?in addition to the English-speaking world, individual chapters analyse possible cities and possible urban lives in Turkey, Israel, Finland, Germany, Russia and Sweden. Moreover, by engaging with issues such as city planning, mass housing, gentrification, informal settlements and translocal identities, the book shows imaginative literature at work outlining what possibility means in cities. 410 0$aLiterary Urban Studies,$x2523-7896 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x21st century 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterature 606 $aCities and towns$xHistory 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aUrban History 606 $aUrban Sociology 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x21st century. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aUrban History. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 676 $a809.93321732 676 $a809.93321732 702 $aSalmela$b Markku 702 $aAmeel$b Lieven$f1978- 702 $aFinch$b Jason 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484989603321 996 $aLiteratures of Urban Possibility$92541217 997 $aUNINA
