memory politics of urban representation and
reconfiguration in neo-Victorian discourse and practice.
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
m©♭moire 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"--
