  2. 16. Seven Senses of the City : Urban Spacetime and Sensory Memory in Contemporary Sinophone Fiction

    Author : Astrid Møller-Olsen; Kinesiska; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; literary sensory studies; sensory studies; urban fiction; senses; Sinophone fiction; comparative literature; Chinese literature; Taipei; Hong Kong; Shanghai; literary studies; spacetime; spatiality; narratology; rhythmanalysis;

    Abstract : The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the narrative mechanisms and imagery that fictional works employ to conceptualize and communicate complex human experiences of space, time and memory. Furthermore, this study shows how contemporary cities change the way we think about such basic concepts by analyzing narratives that employ and encourage multisensory, spatiotemporal understandings of reality characterized by permeable boundaries between the material, social and imaginary domains.
