Concrete Jungle: functions of nature' in writing New York City

我的项目是对1900年以来纽约市文学的回顾。它的目的是询问文学城市如何概念化超过人性的关系，人类-人工制品;“物种孤独”是否是一种文学特征，以及对语法生命性敏感的阅读是否可能将城市表现为新人类表型的动态和“自然”延伸。“贬抑”和“新唯物主义”的理论将为阅读城市文学中隐含的生态维度提供框架：在这里，我的项目承诺原创性。它有可能发展一种阅读，这种阅读可能会激起对环境破坏的抵抗，并扩展“自然写作”的公认轨迹。

My project is a review of New York City literature since-1900. It aims to interrogate how literary cities conceptualize more than human nature in relation to human- artefact; if 'species loneliness' is a literary feature and whether a reading sensitive to grammatical animacy might exhibit cities as dynamic and 'natural' extensions of the new human phenotype.Object-Oriented-Ontology, Actor-Network-Theory, theories of 'abjection' and 'new materialism'will provide the framework for reading the implicit ecological dimension of urban-literature: here, my project promises originality. It has the potential to develop a reading which might foment resistance to environmental destruction and to extend the accepted locus of 'nature-writing'
