Mobility, Spatiality, and Resistance in Literary and Political Discourse: Geocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies

Editat de Christian Beck
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 noi 2022
Mobility, Space, and Resistance: Transformative Spatiality in Literary and Political Discourse draws from various disciplines—such as geography, sociology, political science, gender studies, and poststructuralist thought—to posit the productive capabilities of literature in political action and at the same time show how literary art can resist the imposition and domination of oppressive systems of our spatial lives. The various approaches, topics, and types of literature discussed in this volume display a concern for social issues that can be addressed in and through literature. The essays address social injustice, oppression, discrimination, and their spatial representations. While offering interpretations of literature, this collection seeks to show how literary spaces contribute to understanding, changing, or challenging physical spaces of our lived world.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This collection shows how literary spaces contribute to understanding, changing, or challenging notions of mobility and physical spaces of our lived world. This project draws from various disciplines—such as geography, sociology, political science, gender studies, and poststructuralist thought—to posit the productive capabilities of literature in examining the politics of movement and spatial transformations. At the same time, this volume shows how literary art offers alternatives to oppressive institutions, practices, and systems of thought. In this way, this book is more than a collection of essays interpreting pieces of literature, it gestures outward to our space and encourages the creation of new spaces that meet the needs and desires of people, not institutions determined to control our movement, actions, ideologies, and thought. This volume outlines, diagrams, and maps the ways in which literature informs resistance, movement, and space.
