Double-weighted statement

Based on a decade of research, this first comprehensive study mapping postmodern London literature required the mastery of a multiplicity of disciplines and engagement with multiple primary and secondary texts:

• In-depth research on 11 authors and 20 novels;

• Engagement with academic disciplines including linguistics (Saussure; Greimas; Barthes), anthropology (Lévi-Strauss; De Certeau), social sciences (Marx; Freud; Lacan), cultural studies (Jameson; Bhabha; MacCabe), economics (Goux; Jameson), history (Hebbert; Inwood; Fox).

• The complex theoretical elaboration of the postmodern city drawing on theories of urban planning and space (Haussmann; Lefebvre; Soja; Davis) and philosophy (such as Foucault; Deleuze & Guattari; Derrida)
