The past decade has witnessed a remarkable resurgence in the
intellectual interplay between geography and the humanities in both
academic and public circles. The metaphors and concepts of
geography now permeate literature, philosophy and the arts.
Concepts such as space, place, landscape, mapping and territory
have become pervasive as conceptual frameworks and core metaphors
in recent publications by humanities scholars and well-known
writers. Envisioning Landscapes, Making Worlds contains over
twenty-five contributions from leading scholars who have engaged
this vital intellectual project from various perspectives, both
inside and outside of the field of geography. The book is divided
into four sections representing different modes of examining the
depth and complexity of human meaning invested in maps, attached to
landscapes, and embedded in the spaces and places of modern life.
The topics covered range widely and include interpretations of
space, place, and landscape in literature and the visual arts,
philosophical reflections on geographical knowledge, cultural
imagination in scientific exploration and travel accounts, and
expanded geographical understanding through digital and
participatory methodologies. The clashing and blending of cultures
caused by globalization and the new technologies that profoundly
alter human environmental experience suggest new geographical
narratives and representations that are explored here by a
multidisciplinary group of authors. This book is essential reading
for students, scholars, and interested general readers seeking to
understand the new synergies and creative interplay emerging from
this broad intellectual engagement with meaning and geographic
experience.
