商品描述
This 3-volume set examines how suburban spaces shape and reflect human experiences in North America, Europe, and Asia, bringing together works by an international group of scholars who explore suburbia through critical analyses of literature, culture, sociology, history, politics, and urban planning. The multidisciplinary and international scope of each volume offers readers a wide breadth of perspectives. Suburbia Reconsidered thus contributes significantly to the expanding field of suburban studies by offering novel insights into the representation of suburbs in literature, the cultural significance of suburban environments, and the socio-economic challenges confronting suburban communities across the globe.
Volume 2 of this 3-volume set explores representations of suburbia across various forms of popular culture and media, including rap, punk, and classical music, cinema, and theme parks. Contributors analyse how these cultural products both reflect and shape perceptions of suburban life. These diverse representations provide valuable insights into the evolving perceptions and realities of suburban existence across different contexts and media.
By integrating insights from literature, cultural studies, sociology, history, and urban planning, Suburbia Reconsidered enhances our understanding of suburban spaces and their potential for positive transformation, and encourages scholars to explore new methodologies and perspectives.
