Urban Mobilities in Literature and Art Activism
Edited by Patricia García and Anna-Lena Toivanen (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024)
This book explores the entwinement of mobility and immobility in urban spaces by focusing on their representation in literary narratives but also in visual and performing arts. Across a range of geographical contexts, it builds on the new mobilities paradigm developed by literary scholars, sociologists and human geographers. The different chapters employ a cohesive framework that is sensitive to the intersecting dimensions of power and discrimination that shape urban kinetic features. The contributions are divided into three sections, each of which places the focus on a different aspect of urban mobility: Itinerant Subjects, Modes of Transport and Places of Transit, and Urban Liminalities. https://link.springer.com/book/9783031427978

Sexual Imaginaries of the Literary Underground
Edited by Jean-Philippe Imbert and Olga Springer (Special Issue, Literary Geographies, forthcoming 2025)
The proposed special issue of Literary Geographies will bring together Literary Studies, Gender/Sexuality Studies and geographies of the underground. The idea for this publication stems from the recent "Underground Imaginaries" conference organised by the European Society of Comparative Literature/Société Européenne de Littérature Comparée (ESCL/SELC), in conjunction with the research networks Fringe Urban Narratives and EROSS: Expressions, Research Orientations – Sexuality Studies.
