Representations of London

(ENL179) -  Ευτέρπη Μήτση

Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course investigates how the city of London was portrayed in a variety of texts produced from the sixteenth to the late twentieth centuries. The course examines London in its textual, historical and geographical manifestations and is neither confined to a single period nor is it a genre course. Periods, authors, and genres will be, however, explored together with themes such as the impact of trade and immigration on the city; the marketplace and the rise of consumerism; xenophobia and cosmopolitanism; city places and urban identities; commodities and the urban subject; sex and the city and London as a world city. The course will also include visual material and films which present a view of the city in relation to the above themes
