>Writing the City
>
>This issue of the journal Studies in the Literary Imagination will be
>guided by the assumption that studying the city allows us to grasp the
>ways in which it is subtended by an order that is in a perpetual state of
>derealization.  The artistic and literary works studied in this volume do
>not simply "represent" the city, as if a stable sociological form
>underwrites the various stagings of metropolitan modernity.  In fact,
>these essays will show that the city disrupts the assumption that
>realities can be simply rendered or represented in works of art; rather,
>artistic works on the city can at best offer a single, possible, and above
>all tentative glimpse into an urban reality that is always in transit. 
>Despite its appearance of ontological and sociological stability, the city
>is a shifting series of images, signifiers, allegories, performers and
>heterotopic sites.
>
>Essays on any urban space are sought; the editors are interested in any
>theoretical approach to the study of the city.
>
>Queries may be sent to either of the editors, but decisions will only be
>made on final papers.  Essays must be submitted in hard copy to either
