    Climate change, the rise of right-wing parties across Europe, the growing power and impact of social media or the Covid-19 pandemic – the discussions surrounding some of the most pressing issues of our times lay bare growing chasms between conflicting group interests, hierarchies and identities. In light of these debates, understanding how groups are constructed, how identification processes work and what may lie behind inclusion and exclusion seems more relevant and pertinent than ever. This book sheds light on how 21st-century British fiction represents the relationship between groups and individual identities and also zooms in on the construction of groups as social entities. By doing so, this study highlights the importance of literature and literary studies in understanding (and possibly even bridging the gap between) some of the divides between groups in the 21st century.Contents1.- Introduction11.1 Studying Groups in Literary Studies: Aims and Methodology41.2 State of Research: Group Studies across the Disciplines72.

    Climate change, the rise of right-wing parties across Europe, the growing power and impact of social media or the Covid-19 pandemic – the discussions surrounding some of the most pressing issues of our times lay bare growing chasms between conflicting group interests, hierarchies and identities.

    Writings on the metropolis generally foreground illimitability, stressing thereby that the urban ultimately remains both illegible and unintelligible. Instead, the purpose of this interdisciplinary study is to demonstrate that mentality as a tool offers orientation in the urban realm. Nora Pleßke develops a model of urban mentality to be employed for cities worldwide. Against the background of the Spatial Turn, she identifies dominant urban-specific structures of London mentality in contemporary London novels, such as Monica Ali's »Brick Lane«, J.G. Ballard's »Millennium People«, Nick Hornby's »A Long Way Down«, and Ian McEwan's »Saturday«

    Writings on the metropolis generally foreground illimitability, stressing thereby that the urban ultimately remains both illegible and unintelligible. Instead, the purpose of this interdisciplinary study is to demonstrate that mentality as a tool offers orientation in the urban realm. Nora Pleßke develops a model of urban mentality to be employed for cities worldwide. Against the background of the Spatial Turn, she identifies dominant urban-specific structures of London mentality in contemporary London novels, such as Monica Ali's »Brick Lane«, J.G. Ballard's »Millennium People«, Nick Hornby's »A Long Way Down«, and Ian McEwan's »Saturday«
