      abstract = {Cartographies of New York and Other Postwar American  Cities: Art, Literature and Urban Spaces explores phenomena  of urban mapping in the discourses and strategies of a  variety of postwar artists and practitioners of space:  Allan Kaprow, Claes Oldenburg, Vito Acconci, Gordon  Matta-Clark, Robert Smithson, Rebecca Solnit, Matthew  Buckingham, contemporary Situationist projects. The  distinctive approach of the book highlights the interplay  between texts and site-oriented practices, which have often  been treated separately in critical discussions. Monica  Manolescu considers spatial investigations that engage with  the historical and social conditions of the urban  environment and reflect on its mediated nature.  Cartographic procedures that involve walking and surveying  are interpreted as unsettling and subversive possibilities  of representing and navigating the postwar American city.  The book posits mapping as a critical nexus that opens up  new ways of studying some of the most important postwar  artistic engagements with New York and other American  cities.},
