Cities, Citizens, and Technologies
Urban Life and Postmodernity
Paula Geyh, Yeshiva University, USA
Series: Routledge Research in Cultural and Media
Studies
This book is about the contemporary city and those
who live in it. It is thus also about the urban world of
the era (extending roughly from the 1960s to the
present) that we see as postmodern, and specifically
about how the postmodern city is changing under the
impact of globalization and new information and
communication technologies.

Stigmata
Escaping Texts
Hélène Cixous
A ‘wilful extremist’ according to
the London Times, Hélène
Cixous is hailed as one of the
most formidable writers and
thinkers of our time. Acclaimed
by luminaries such as Jacques
Derrida, her writing has
nonetheless been misunderstood
and misread, to a surprising
extent. With the inclusion of
Stigmata, one of her greatest
works into the Routledge
Classics series, this is about to
change. Questions that have long concerned her – the
self and the other, autobiographies of writing, sexual
difference, literary theory, post-colonial theory, death
and life – are explored here, woven into a stunning
narrative. Displaying a remarkable virtuosity, the work
of Cixous is heady stuff indeed: exciting, powerful,
moving, and dangerous.

2ND EDITION
The Location of Culture
Homi Bhabha, Harvard University, USA
Rethinking questions of identity,
social agency and national
affiliation, Homi Bhabha provides
a working, if controversial,
theory of cultural hybridity – one
that goes far beyond previous
attempts by others. In The
Location of Culture, he uses
concepts such as mimicry,
interstice, hybridity, and liminality
to argue that cultural production
is always most productive where
it is most ambivalent. Speaking
in a voice that combines intellectual ease with the belief
that theory itself can contribute to practical political
change, Bhabha has become one of the leading
post-colonial theorists of this era.
