What is our place in the world, and how do we inhabit, understand, and represent this place to others? Topophrenia gathers essays by Robert Tally that explore the relationship between space, place, and mapping, on the one hand, and literary criticism, history, and theory on the other. The book provides an introduction to spatial literary studies, exploring in detail the theory and practice of geocriticism, literary cartography, and the spatial humanities more generally. The spatial anxiety of disorientation and the need to know one’s location, even if only subconsciously, is a deeply felt and shared human experience. Building on Yi Fu Tuan’s "topophilia" (or love of place), Tally instead considers the notion of "topophrenia" as a simultaneous sense of place-consciousness coupled with a feeling of disorder, anxiety, and "dis-ease." He argues that no effective geography could be complete without also incorporating an awareness of the lonely, loathsome, or frightening spaces that condition our understanding of that space. Tally considers the tension between the objective ordering of a space and the subjective ways in which narrative worlds are constructed. Narrative maps present a way of understanding that seems realistic but is completely figurative. So how can these maps be used to not only understand the real world but also to put up an alternative vision of what that world might otherwise be? From Tolkien to Cervantes, Borges to More, Topophrenia provides a clear and compelling explanation of how geocriticism, the spatial humanities, and literary cartography help us to narrate, represent, and understand our place in a constantly changing world.

"In Combs's own words, "Racism is dynamic, and because of its changing and adaptable nature, we need new theories to help elucidate it. Therefore, it is extreme error to try to understand contemporary acts of violence against black bodies by solely employing historical methods and theories." This book introduces a theoretical framework called Bodies out of Place (BOP) useful to explain continuing acts of violence against black bodies. The book extends the theory's application from political acts of violence to emotional and physical acts. In Bodies out of Place, Combs argues that underexplored cognitive (i.e., learned) aspects of place (both as a physical/geographical and social/relational idea about where people belong, especially in relation to others) are essential for understanding not only race relations in general but also the continuing assault against black bodies in America"--

Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur distingue en premier ce qu'est l'architecture de la simple construction afin de montrer comment la théorie s'avère centrale dans la démarche architecturale. Il introduit ainsi la notion de "lieu", d'abord en tant que problème philosophique, puis en tant qu'aspect d'une "édification" et finalement en tant que phénomène architectural et territorial (la notion de paysage, par exemple). Développant cette réflexion qui repose sur plus de vingt années de recherches dans le domaine de la sémiotique des lieux, l'auteur met en place un dispositif cognitif mobilisant de nombreux diagrammes et figures répondant à ce qu'est l'architecture en général (qu'elle soit simple pavillon d'exposition de sculptures, avec Aldo van Eyck, ou recomposition urbaine de la ville, avec Louis Kahn). En conclusion, l'auteur aborde la question iconologique de cette problématique en reconsidérant la démarche d'Aloïs Riegl à propos de l'ornement comme moyen terme entre une science et un art.

"This companion to J. O. Urmson's translation in the same series of Simplicius' Corollaries on Place and Time contains Simplicius' commentary on the chapters on place and time in Aristotle's Physics book 4. It is a rich source for the preceding 800 years' discussion of Aristotle's views. Simplicius records attacks on Aristotle's claim that time requires change, or consciousness. He reports a rebuttal of the Pythagorean theory that history will repeat itself exactly. He evaluates Aristotle's treatment of Zeno's paradox concerning place. Throughout he elucidates the structure and meaning of Aristotle's arguement, and all the more clearly for having separated off his own views into the Corollaries."--Bloomsbury Publishing This companion to J.

This study examines the importance of space for the way contemporary novelists experiment with style and form, offering an account of how British writers from the past three decades have engaged with landscape description as a catalyst for innovation. David James considers the work of more than fifteen major British novelists to offer a wide-ranging and accessible commentary on the relationship between landscape and narrative design, demonstrating an approach to the geography of contemporary fiction enriched by the practice of aesthetic criticism. Moving between established and emerging novelists, the book reveals that spatial poetics allow us to chart distinctive and surprising affinities between practitioners, showing how writers today compel us to pay close attention to technique when linking the depiction of physical places to new developments in novelistic craft.

Rewriting Architecture explores the potential of place, and considers the creativity of inhabitants and users, the power of the social and urban fabric to respond to needs and urgent topics. It poses questions that deal with the 'tabula scripta' condition, the actual multi-layered facets of our time: How can the existing context be reinterpreted, understood, appreciated and further developed? What does architecture mean in times of scarcity? How can architecture anticipate new developments based on the existing situation, from the ageing population and social segregation to climate change? It also challenges the role of the contemporary architect in a field of players and powers, who is faced by urgent existing issues such as a starting point in design research

The midwestern pastoral is a literary tradition of place and rural experience that celebrates an attachment to land that is mystical as well as practical, based on historical and scientific knowledge as well as personal experience. It is exemplified in the poetry, fiction, and essays of writers who express an informed love of the nature and regional landscapes of the Midwest. Drawing on recent studies in cultural geography, environmental history, and mythology, as well as literary criticism, The Midwestern Pastoral: Place and Landscape in Literature of the American Heartland relates Midweste
