Discursive Geographies / Geographies discursives - Writing Space and Place in French / L'Ecriture de l'espace et du lieu en francais (English, French, Paperback)

The present collection of essays follows in the wake of recent work in cultural geography challenging the idea that maps are scientifically neutral entities, or that space, unlike time, is immobile. In defining space, place and geography as forms of textuality, the essays collected in this volume examine the ways in which postcolonial and metropolitan literary and filmic texts in French can at once inscribe and produce place and space, and thereby participate in forms of "discursive geographies."
