Life in the Megalopolis: Mexico City and Sao Paulo: Questioning Cities
Autor Lucia Saen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 oct 2007
Life in the Megalopolis: Mexico City and São Paulo investigates how such questions are explored in cultural productions from these two Latin American megalopolises, the focus being on literature, film popular music, and visual arts. This book combines close readings of works with a constant reference to theoretical, anthropological and social studies of these two cities, and builds on received definitions of the concept megalopolis
Life in the Megalopolis is the first book to combine urban-studies theories (particularly Lefebvre, Harvey, and de Certeau) with Benjaminian cultural analyses, and theoretical discussions with close-readings of recent cultural works in various media. It is also the first book to compare Mexico City and São Paulo.

Recenzii
"I highly recommend Sa’s work, especially to those who study Latin American cities and/or the arts. It is an insightful study of how to 'read' the reality and changes of urban life and social processes through a variety of cultural products." -- JOURNAL OF REGIONAL SCIENCE, VOL. 50, NO. 2, 2010
