Landscape, Seascape, And The Eco-Spatial Imagination (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives On Literature)

This book provides an account of the spatial imagination of landscape and seascape in global literary and cultural contexts, exploring questions of mediation and how various traditions compete for prominence in our spatial imagination. It explores how landscape is at once conceptual and perceptual, illuminating 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 various stages of life. It engages areas such as ecocriticism, landscape theory, colonial and postcolonial theory, hybridization theory, and East Asian Studies to offer a historicized, global account of our ecospatial imaginations.
