Abstract:
"Postmodern Cartographies explores spatial representation in a range of texts from the social sciences, prose fiction and cinema. It surveys the geography of post-industrial society as advanced in the work of Daniel Bell, Marshall McLuhan and Jean Baudrillard; analyses representations of space in novels by Thomas Pynchon, Paul Auster, Jayne Anne Phillips and Toni Morrison; and, in a key third section, examines sexual politics and body images in science fiction cinema and the films of David Lynch. Jarvis demonstrates an essential continuity between the geographical imagination expressed in so-called postmodern culture and that evident in previous phases in the history of spatial representation."--Jacket
