Through adaptations of traditional city tropes ? such as the palimpsest, the labyrinth, the femininised enigma, and the marketplace of desire ? writers, filmmakers, and city planners resurrect, preserve, and rework nineteenth-century metropolises and their material traces while simultaneously Gothicising and fabricating ?past? urban realities to serve present-day wants, so as to maximise cities? potential to generate consumption and profits. Within the cultural imaginary of the metropolis, this volume contends, the nineteenth century provides a prominent focalising lens that mediates our apperception of and engagement with postmodern cityscapes. From the site of capitalist romance and traumatic lieux de mémoire to theatre of postcolonial resistance and Gothic sensationalism, the neo-Victorian city proves a veritable Proteus evoking myriad creative responses but also crystallising persistent ethical dilemmas surrounding alienation, precarity, Othering, and social exclusion. 410 0$aNeo-Victorian series ;$vVolume 4. 606 $aMetropolitan government 606 $aLocal government 606 $aMunicipal government 615 0$aMetropolitan government. 615 0$aLocal government. 615 0$aMunicipal government. 676 $a320.85 702 $aKohlke$b Marie-Luise 702 $aGutleben$b Christian 702 $aCases$b Isabelle 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787421203321 996 $aNeo-victorian cities$93791472 997 $aUNINA
