Table of Contents Phenomenological Place Place, Subjectivity, and the Humanist Tradition Samuel Beckett and the Postmodern Loss of Place The Social Production of Place Poststructuralism and the Resistance to Place Beur Fiction and the Banlieue Crisis Postcolonial Place Place After Postcolonial Studies Evolution in/of the Caribbean Landscape Narrative Landscape, Map, and Vertical Integration Long Description This book opens up an understudied area within the field of literary spatiality: the question of geographical emergence. A study of contemporary literary representations of place, it draws on phenomenological, poststructural, and postcolonial theories of space and place to show how literature contributes to the formation of new geographical identities. With chapters devoted to the in-between spaces of Samuel Beckett, Frances suburban ghettoes, and the postcolonial proto-nations of Frances Caribbean territories, this study emphasizes literatures ability to subtly but decisively shape readers attitudes toward the world around them, making it possible to see such places not as defective or derivative versions of established modes of dwelling but as laboratories for the ways of life of tomorrow.
