Resumen:
Reseña de "Spatiality and Symbolic Expression: On the Links between Place and Culture" de Bill Richardson, por Svetlana Stefanova. Palgrave Macmillan, 2015.
Descripción:
A growing number of studies acknowledge the interpretative potential of spatial models for
the understanding of diverse cultural phenomena. Published as part of Geocriticism and
Spatial Literary Studies, a book series edited by Robert T. Tally Jr., the volume reflects the
increasing global interest in spatiality and the immense expanse of spatial approach within
the humanities. According to its editor, Bill Richardson, the volume examines ‘how spatial
realities inform symbolic expression and how a variety of forms of symbolic expression and
cultural production rely on those spatial realities to achieve their ends’ (2). The essays seek to
extend recent developments in the field of spatio-cultural studies and apply new conceptual
approaches to a variety of cultural forms.
