The 2009 Metropolis Lecture Serie
This lecture series explores the literary and cultural representations of the modern metropolis. Five prominent authors and scholars probe the philosophical, historical, visual, multi-sensual, and fractured identities of the city, theorizing how literature has shaped and in turn is being shaped by the modern metropolis. The lecture series is organized by the Modern Literature and Culture Research Centre in conjunction with the course LM8950: Unreal Cities: Reading the Metropolis.
