TY - ART TI - in absentia AU - J. R. Carpenter AB - "Using the Google Maps application programming interface, in absentia addresses issues of gentrification, community, and property in its commentary on the neoliberal reorganization of the city of Montreal and specifically the Mile End neighborhood. Part fiction, part memoir, the multi-lingual, multi-author texts 'haunt' the neighborhood with stories of real and fictional tenants who have been affected by its structural transformation. The geocoding of these stories serves as a powerful reminder of the imbrications between lived and physical space." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 2 C3 - Web PY - 2008 LA - English, French M3 - Collaborative, Hypertext, Locative, Essay, Fiction, Memoir UR - https://the-next.eliterature.org/works/692/0/0/ DB - The NEXT Y2 - 2025-04-02 ER -
