Following the spatial turn in the humanities, we have witnessed an explosion of innovative, multidisciplinary scholarship and teaching in recent years. Spatially oriented studies—operating under the banner of literary geography, literary cartography, geophilosophy, geopoetics, geocriticism, or the spatial humanities, among other labels—have helped to reframe or to transform contemporary criticism by focusing attention, in various ways, on the dynamic relations among space, place, and culture. Spatially oriented approaches to the humanities would likely draw upon diverse critical and theoretical traditions in disclosing, analyzing, and exploring the significance of space, place, and mapping in the world. Featuring scholars from all over the world, the presentations at this virtual conference represent a wide range of critical work involving the spatial imagination in the humanities today.
The Spatial Imagination in the Humanities virtual conference is sponsored by the NEH Distinguished Teaching Professorship in the Humanities and the College of Liberal Arts, Texas State University, USA
