Omschrijving

Site-Seeing Aesthetics: California Sojourns in Five Installations takes the reader to Dodger Stadium, Fort Ross, Chinese Camp, the Winchester House, and letters from the Gold Country in a writing and reading of cultural time and site performance. These sojourns' are informed by insights from among other literary and cultural studies, site-specific performance studies, human geography, archeology, and history into a kind of "literary chorography." Along the road, the book considers how places come before us as dramatized, hybrid creations of layered and "haunted" scripts. In its interdisciplinary nature, Site-Seeing in California thus gestures to alternate paths into our time's fascination with place, region, and memory, engaging also with questions of and dialogues between region and transnationalism in their aesthetic reflections.
