This book focuses on ideas of fragmentation, the death of the subject and the search for authenticity, with a discussion of the mechanisation of the body and ideas of the psyche as constituted by popular or image culture.
Topics include postmodern architecture and the creation of the artificial, problems of defining boundaries and the city as a state of mind or a projection of subconscious desires. The film BladeRunner is used at length to illustrate the argument.
I aim to show the postmodern city as an unreal world of simulation, a constituted dreamspace - a schizopolis created through hallucination or psychic projection which, as simulacrum creates its own characters.
‘A dazzling knowledge of architecture, literature, film and critical theory, leaving you feeling educated, but not exhausted.’ amazon.co.uk ISBN 1 900701 03 0 Priced £5
