This volume, Moreover, deals with the efflorescence of creative imagination in the citys culturescape, focusing on certain literary and artistic genres. It also shows how, in a sense, the city itself is an imagined existence, albeit a pluralistic one, and how perceptions of the citys past and the conservation of its heritage are also largely determined by imagination. Just as the first volume highlights the politics of space and time, the present one makes a nuanced study of the politics of culture in the city.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45879908106438,"sku":"DADAX9389850851","price":21.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/81TdkcxzAKL.jpg?v=1779719445","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/kolkata-in-space-time-and-imagination-vol-2","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
