Cím:	"Nae blond wigs in Glasgae": Urban Imaginaries and Affective Relationships in Suhayl Saadi's Short Fiction / Eva Pataki
Dátum:	2019
Megjegyzések:	According to Alev Cinar and Thomas Bender, "the city is located and continually reproduced through [?] orienting acts of imagination, acts grounded in material space and social practice." (2007: xii) As imagination creates and recreates urban spaces, it bestows upon them a host of atmospheric and emotional qualities resulting in a multitude of urban imaginaries of the city. Or is it the city ? illusory and shapeshifting as it may be ? that triggers acts of imagination and thus generates its own images and imaginaries through the moods and emotions it arouses in people? Does the city have a million faces or is it its inhabitants who, through the masks they hide behind, incite this image? To find an answer to these questions, the present paper maps the atmospheric qualities and urban imaginaries of contemporary Glasgow as portrayed in Scottish Pakistani author Suhayl Saadi's fiction. Through a close reading of "The Queens of Govan" (2001c), "Bandanna" (2001a), "The Naked Heart" (2001b) from the collection The Burning Mirror and excerpts from Psychoraag (2004), I explore the characters' social practices, memories, visions and hallucinations, as well as their bodily experiences and mental perceptions of and affective relationships with the city. I shall argue that there exists a deeply phenomenological and mutually constructive relationship between the body and the city, through which Saadi's characters are both affected by and affecting the emotional qualities and urban imaginaries of Glasgow.
