Maps and Territories - Global Positioning in the Contemporary French Novel

Informationen zum Autor Joshua Armstrong is an Associate Professor of French in the Department of French & Italian at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Klappentext The rapidity of postwar globalization and the structural changes it has brought to both social and spatial aspects of everyday life has meant, in France as elsewhere, the destabilizing of senses of place, identity, and belonging, as once familiar, local environments are increasingly de-localized and made porous to global trends and planetary preoccupations. Maps and Territories identifies such preoccupations as a fundamental underlying impetus for the contemporary French novel.
