Product Description
Written from within the best traditions of ecocritical thought this book provides a wide-ranging account of the spatial imagination of landscape and seascape in literary and cultural contexts from many regions of the world. It brings together essays by authors writing from within diverse cultural traditions across historical periods from ancient Egypt to the postcolonial and postmodern present and touches on an array of divergent theoretical interventions. The volume investigates how our spatial imaginations become wired looking at questions about mediation and exploring how various traditions compete for prominence in our spatial imagination. In what ways is personal experience inflected by prevailing cultural traditions of representation and interpretation? Can an individual maintain a unique and distinctive spatial imagination in the face of dominant trends in perception and interpretation? What are the environmental implications of how we see landscape? The book reviews how landscape is at once conceptual and perceptual illuminating several important themes including the temporality of space the mediations of place that form the response of an observer of a landscape and the development of response in any single life from early partial thoughts to more considered ideas in maturity. Chapters provide suggestive and culturally nuanced propositions from varying points of view on ancient and modern landscapes and seascapes and on how individuals or societies have arranged conceptualized or imagined circumambient space. Opening up issues of landscape seascape and spatiality this volume commences a wide-ranging critical discussion that includes various approaches to literature history and cultural studies.
