| Summary: | This book is an attempt to demonstrate the applicability of modern literary-critical spatial theories to the interpretation of the depiction of urban life in biblical prophetic literature. Mills draws on a range of modern theories of space and place, particularly making use of psycho-geography and flâneurie. Psycho-geography is the study of how cities affect the human mind, and how the human imagination in turn affects cities. A flâneur is an urban observer who walks about a city, and who has sufficient critical distance from urban life to analyse it in a penetrating way. |
