Cartographies of Exile
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-71486-0 (ISBN)
The original work that makes up this interdisciplinary collection presents a varied look at cartographic strategies employed in writing, art, and film from the pre-Contact Americas to the Renaissance to late postmodernism; the effects of exile, in its many manifestations, on cartographic textual systems, ways of seeing, and forms of reading; the challenges of traversing and mapping unstable landscapes and restrictive social and political networks; and the felicities and difficulties of both giving into the map and attempting to escape the map that provides for exile in the first place.
Cartographies of Exile will be of interest to students and scholars working in literary and cultural studies; gender, sexuality, and race studies; anthropology; art history and architecture; film, performance, visual studies; and the fine arts.
Karen Elizabeth Bishop is Assistant Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, USA. Selected publications include work in the Journal of Modern Literature, the Journal of Transnational American Studies, Translation Review, and the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians.
