Klappentext zu „Space, Place and Capitalism “
This book is an original contribution to literary geography and commentaries on the work of David Ireland. It plots the relationship between the spaces and places of 1970s Australian capitalism as it evolves through Ireland's 1971 Miles Franklin prize-winning novel The Unknown Industrial Prisoner. In particular, the book theorises the relationship between space and place in literature through two highly innovative arguments: a focus on the spatial unconscious as a means to assess and track the spatiality of capitalism in the novel form; and the articulation of a regime of space through the perceived, conceived and lived constitution of space. Drawing together concepts from radical geography and structural Marxist literary theory, it explores the dominance of the regime of abstract space in the Australian context. The text also examines the nature and possibilities of place-based strategies of resistance, and concludes by suggesting opportunities for future research and plotting the ways in which The Unknown Industrial Prisoner continues to speak to contemporary Australia.

Pressezitat
"Heino's project is a compelling one. His efforts to demonstrate the power of literary geography to analyse class and power issues work well in relation to his analysis of The Unidentified Industrial Prisoner. His book is a timely reminder of the power inherent in Australian literature, which still deserves recognition among the 'old world' reading publics." (Dave McLaughlin, Environment, Space, Place, Vol. 14 (2), 2022)
