Imagining safe urban space: the contribution of detective fiction to radical geography

Auteur :
SCHMID, D.

Description :
There are many conflicting and mutually exclusive strategies for addressing poverty, sexism, racism and violence. They are often underlaid by a pervasive pessimism. The A. proposes that radical geographers consider the role of detective fiction in vusualizing a safe city. He shows how the limitations of individualism found in this fiction can also apply to attempts to develop a radical agenda for urban reform and regeneration.
