Exploring the links between concepts of space and place, Spatiality and Symbolic Expression focuses on the ways in which cultural expression occurs. With a view to identifying commonalities, chapters examine four key facets of an emerging framework and analyze language, literature, translation, pedagogy, film, music, art and the use of iconic imagery in nation-building projects. Contributing to an on-going conversation, these essays aim to offer a greater sense of how symbolic expression and cultural production rely on spatial realities to achieve their ends.

Industry Reviews

"We know now that space is something more than a rough container of events that are occurring in time. It was one of the original purposes of geocriticism to help demonstrating it. Through their own lens, the contributors of Spatiality and Symbolic Expression explore the referential aspect of all a set of symbolic expressions. Four key-words are pointed out by Richardson: philosophy, psychology, plasticity, and power. By intertwining them appropriately, the contributors of this collection keep a perfect focus on the crossroad between spatial realities and symbolic expression." - Bertrand Westphal, Universite de Limoges, France
