Abstract

Eminent geographer Yi-Fu Tuan considers the ways in which people feel and think about space, how they form attachments to home, neighborhood, and nation, and how feelings about space and place are affected by the sense of time. He suggests that place is security and space is freedom: we are attached to the one and long for the other. Whether he is considering sacred versus “biased” space, mythical space and place, time in experiential space, or cultural attachments to space, Tuan’s analysis is thoughtful and insightful.

Abstract

4ème de couv. : "Que savaient les Français des XIIe-XVIe siècles de leur pays? La littérature, qui naît au temps des troubadours, ouvre une fenêtre sur les connaissances concrètes des hommes et des femmes ordinaires. A travers deux cents poèmes, romans, proverbes, récits de voyages ou pièces de théâtre, ce livre raconte comment, en cinq cents ans, entre les croisades et l'avènement d'Henri IV, la France s'est formée comme un Etat-nation, mais aussi comme un paysage et un pays familier - et surtout, comment les Français l'ont vécu. Nous découvrons d'abord ce que les humbles comme les puissants percevaient de leur environnement, paysage sonore, visuel et olfactif. La géographie commune parle aussi de la vie, du travail et des rêves. Productions artisanales, nourriture, monuments, légendes ... la perception que les Français avaient de leur pays constitue une géographie imaginaire des lieux communs comme des hauts lieux : de la moutarde de Dijon à la fée Mélusine, de la France des cathédrales à celle du vin et de la bière, nous en sommes peut-être, en partie, les héritiers. Que voulait dire être Français au Moyen Age? L'étude des rapports complexes entre l'Etat royal et les régions (Occitanie, Bretagne ...), entre les régnicoles et les étrangers, entre le français et les autres langues, montre que la "nation France" s'est construite dans la diversité, à travers des identités régionales et locales marquées, dans le Nord comme dans le Midi. Fruit d'une méthode originale, ce livre de géo-histoire est illustré de vingt cartes inédites, qui dessinent les voyages de Pantagruel ou le monde vu par une farce normande. Au fil des chapitres, en une mosaïque d'images, c'est un portrait sensible et précis du pays qui se dessine, parfois déroutant, parfois étonnamment familier."

Abstract

Producing the Pacific offers the reader an interdisciplinary reading of the maps, narratives and rituals related to the three Spanish voyages to the South Pacific that took place between 1567 and 1606. These journeys were led by Álvaro de Mendaña, Pedro Fernández de Quirós and Isabel Barreto, the first woman ever to become admiral of and command a fleet. Mercedes Maroto Camino presents a cultural analysis of these journeys and takes issue with some established notions about the value of the past and the way it is always rewritten from the perspective of the present. She highlights the social, political and cultural environment in which maps and narratives circulate, suggesting that their significance is always subject to negotiation and transformation. The tapestry created by the interpretation of maps, narratives and rituals affords a view not only of the minds of the first men and women who traversed the Pacific but also of how they saw the ocean, its islands and their peoples. Producing the Pacific should, therefore, be of relevance to those interested in history, voyages, colonialism, cartography, anthropology and cultural studies. The study of these cultural products contributes to an interpretive history of colonialism at the same time that it challenges the beliefs and assumptions that underscore our understanding of that history.

Abstract

"Steeped in story-telling and endlessly curious, Reading the country: an introduction to nomadology (1984) was the product of Paddy Roe, Stephen Muecke and Krim Benterrak, experimenting with what it might be like to think together about country. In the process a senior traditional owner, a cultural theorist and a painter produced a text unlike any other. Reading the Country: 30 Years On is a celebration of one of the great twentieth-century books of intercultural dialogue. Recalling a spirit of intellectual risk and respect, in this collection, Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, poets, writers and publishers both acknowledge the past and look, with hope, to future transformations of culture and country."--Publisher's website.

Abstract

Focusing on the relationship between England and Scotland and the interaction between history and geography, Penny Fielding explores how Scottish literature in the Romantic period was shaped by the understanding of place and space. This book examines geography as a form of regional, national and global definition, addressing national surveys, local stories, place-names and travel writing, and argues that the case of Scotland complicates the identification of Romanticism with the local. Fielding considers Scotland as 'North Britain' in a period when the North of Europe was becoming a strong cultural and political identity, and explores ways in which Scotland was both formative and disruptive of British national consciousness. Containing studies of Robert Burns, Walter Scott and James Hogg, as well as the lesser-known figures of Anne Grant and Margaret Chalmers, this study discusses an exceptionally broad range of historical, geographical, scientific, linguistic, antiquarian and political writing from throughout North Britain.
