“A Man Among Men” in Algerian Paris: Modeling Motivation and Movement in Jake Lamar’s Rendezvous Eighteenth

Rendezvous Eighteenth Placemarks

Thesis




Rendezvous Eighteenth has -- placemarks on Google Earth. [footnote that these placemarks are similar to baldwin's paris in proximity etc]. Most of the placemarks (-- HOW MANY?) are locations the protagonist Ricky Jenks had traveled within the four days depicted in the novel. In fact, NUMBER placemarks are in the Eighteenth Arrondissement. The number of locations/placemarks and the mapping of Ricky Jenks's movement made the novel appropriate for literary mapping. Unlike my placemarking and analysis of "Baldwin's Paris," which is lead and framed by the clusters that were made visible through placemarking on Google Earth, in this chapter I am analyzing three major descriptions of neighborhoods depicted in the novel. Using the novel as a guide, I am "toured" the settings by way of Google Earth, particularly "Street View." [FOOTNOTE WHAT STREET VIEW IS] Through using Street View, I am able to "test" Lamar's descriptions and see if they hold up against Lamar descriptions based on a period sixteen years prior. While on one hand, I do provide an analysis of how the novel's depiction shifts from its predecessor texts, this analysis based on Google Earth Street View also provides insight about the implications of literary mapping to depictions in literary texts. In the examples that follow OR In my examination of Barbes, Montmartre, and la Goutte d'Or, I trouble the idea of visibility and invisibility.
