Navigating the textual landscapes of New York, Venice, London, Los Angeles and the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, Against the Day reimagines urban modernity at the turn of the 20th century. As the complex novel collapses and rebuilds anew the spatial imaginaries underlying the popular fictions of urban modernity, Utku Mogultay explores how such creative disfiguration throws light on the contemporary urban world. Through critical spatial readings, he considers how Pynchon historicizes issues ranging from the commodification of the urban landscape to the politics of place-making. In Mogultay's reading, Against the Day is shown to offer an oblique negotiation of postmodern urban spaces, thus directing our attention to the ongoing erosion of sociospatial diversity in North American cities and elsewhere."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 588 0 Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 City planning|xHistory. 650 0 City and town life|xHistory. 650 0 Urbanization|xHistory. 650 7 Literary studies: from c 1900.|2bicssc 650 7 Literary theory.|2bicssc 650 7 Literary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writers. |2bicssc 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xSociology|xUrban.|2bisacsh 650 7 City and town life.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00862081 650 7 City planning.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00862177 650 7 Urbanization.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01162722 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMogultay, Utku.|tRuins of urban modernity.|dNew Yorik, NY : Bloomsbury Academic, [2018] |z9781501339509|w(DLC) 2017046924 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1739192|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
