Epilogue: A Comparative Palimpsest of Urban Plenitude and Difference. 330 $aIn 1972, Italo Calvino published Invisible Cities, a literary book that masterfully combines philosophy and poetry, rigid structure and free play, theoretical insight and glittering prose. The text is an extended meditation on urban life, and it continues to resonate not only among literary scholars, but among social scientists, architects, and urban planners as well. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Invisible Cities, this collection of essays serves as both an appreciation and a critical engagement. Drawing from a wide array of disciplinary perspectives and geographical contexts, this volume grapples with the theoretical, pedagogical, and political legacies of Calvino?s work. Each chapter approaches Invisible Cities not only as a novel but as a work of evocative ethnography, place-writing, and urban theory. Fifty years on, what can Calvino?s dreamlike text offer to scholars and practitioners interested in actually existing urban life? 410 0$aLiterary Urban Studies,$x2523-7896 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aSpace 606 $aCulture 606 $aCities and towns$xHistory 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aSpace and Place in Culture 606 $aUrban History 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aSpace. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aSpace and Place in Culture. 615 24$aUrban History. 676 $a354.81150006 676 $a853.914 700 $aLinder$b Benjamin$0795748 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910624302903321 996 $aInvisible Cities and the Urban Imagination$92967880 997 $aUNINA
