For much of the 20th century the modernist city was articulated in terms of narratives of progress and development. Today the neoliberal city confronts us with all the cultural ”noise” of disorder and excess meaning. As this book demonstrates, for more than 40 years London-based writer, film-maker and ”psychogeographer” Iain Sinclair has proved to be one of the most incisive commentators on the contemporary city: tracing the emerging contours of a metropolis where the meeting of global and local is never without incident.
Iain Sinclair: Noise, Neoliberalism and the Matter of London explores Sinclair”s investigations into the nature of conflicting urban realities through an examination of the ways in which the noise of neoliberal excess intersects with the noise of literary experiment. In this way, the book casts new light on theorisations of the city in the contemporary era.
