Comment les lieux nous affectent-ils ? Quels sont les facteurs, les mécanismes en œuvre ? D'un côté, notre humeur du moment, nos représentations, souvenirs, expériences, attentes entrent dans cette construction. D'un autre côté, le lieu, par sa configuration même et le sens que nous lui attribuons, dégage « quelque chose » qui surprend, inquiète ou apaise moralement et physiquement. Dans cette relation changeante ou qui se cristallise dans le passage de l'émotion au sentiment, l'image et l'enjeu de soi ne sont jamais absents.Entre philosophie, sciences de l'action, sciences humaines en s'autorisant un détour par les neurosciences, passant de la maison Usher aux gradins d'un stade de football, cet ouvrage propose un tour d'horizon nécessairement incomplet sur nos relations aux lieux et tente de saisir comment ces lieux nous affectent, ce qu'ils nous font faire et ce que nous en faisons.

"How writers respond to a cosmology in evolution in the sixteenth century and how literature and space implicate each other are the guiding issues of this volume in which sixteen authors explore the topic of space in its multiform incarnations and representations. The volume's first section features the early modern exploration and codification of urban and rural spaces as well as maritime and industrial expanses: "Space and Territory: Geographies in Texts" thus contributes to a history of spatial consciousness. The construction of local, national, political, public, and private places is highlighted in "Space and Politics: Literary Geographies"; the contributors in this segment show how built forms as architectural or literary constructions and spatial orientation are intertwined. "Space and Gender: Geopoetical Approaches" traces the experience of gender as political, territorial, and communicative exploration; the essays in this division deal with social organization and its symbolic analysis, resulting in literary texts featuring what could be called psychological production theories. The development of ethical approaches adapted to or critical of colonial expansion is analyzed in "Space and Ethics: Geocritical Ventures"; here we encounter early modern globalization where locals, explorers, immigrants, adventurers, and intellectuals remake themselves in new places, engage in or meet with resistance, or attempt to rework local sociopolitical systems while reassessing those they are familiar with. "The Space of the Book, the Book as Space: Printing, Reading, Publishing" analyzes the tactile object of the book as an arena for commerce, politics, and authorial experimentation"--
