Remembering Paris in Text and Film (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

An investigation of Paris as an urban and a poetic site of remembrance.

Urban space is an immediate experience of life as presence; it is also, at the same time, alive with memories of the past. . This edited volume investigates what it means to remember and how it is that Paris has come to embody the tensions of this feeling of seeing double. Surveying Paris in film, poetry and prose, from Baudelaire onwards, but also from Baudelaire backwards, it presents the city as both a concrete reality and as a collection of myths associated with it. Interdisciplinary and deeply researched, the essays distill complex concepts of the urban, the textual and the modern for a wide readership
