Description

An interdisciplinary exploration of the memorial and affective meanings of space in modern and contemporary literature.

Space, Affect, Memory highlights the centrality of space in modern and contemporary culture, both as an object of study and as a concept that underpins research and creative practice. In so doing, the book argues for the necessity of a new approach to space that fully integrates its affective and memorial dimensions. Encompassing lesser-known works in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and Japanese, the essays expand the scope of previous scholarship in literary geography. They also offer a unique analysis of the performative aspect of representation, incorporating analyses of non-textual media like photography, performance, and architecture.
