Nine previously unpublished essays form an interdisciplinary
assessment of urban memory in the modern city, analysing this
burgeoning area of interest from the perspectives of sociology,
architectural and art history, psychoanalysis, culture and critical
theory. Featuring a wealth of illustrations, images, maps and
specially commissioned artwork, this work applies a critical and
creative approach to existing theories of urban memory, and
examines how these ideas are actualised in the forms of the built
environment in the modernist and post-industrial city.
A particular area of focus is post-industrial Manchester, but
the book also includes studies of current-day Singapore, New York
after 9/11, modern museums in industrial gallery spaces, the
writings of Paul Auster and W.G. Sebald, memorials built in
concrete, and contemporary art.
