This volume explores the urban Imaginary in language, literature and film. In recent decades many of the so called 'secondary' or 'peripheral' metropolises have emerged from the shadow of the capitals, which have been focused on since the modern era in an urban, economic and aesthetic manner. Thus, these urban texts and films of the Romance are highlighted: the fascistic foundations in the Pontine Marshes such as Naples, Milan and Turin; moreover Marseille, Barcelona and Jerez de la Frontera, as well as the non-European Romance cities Tangier, Montreal and São Paulo. They represent 'diverCities' and their cross-cultural appearance is closely connected to the issue of positioning the protagonists within the city as well as their affiliation or more emphatic their understanding of 'heimat' or homeland in the 20th and 21th century.
