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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 181-190) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: the cartographic imperative -- Place in geocritical theory and practice -- Topophrenia -- Introducing geocriticism -- Geocritical situations -- Spatial representation in narrative -- The mise-en-abyme of literary cartography -- The space of the novel -- Theatrum geographicum -- Fantasy and the spatial imagination -- Adventures in literary cartography -- In the suburbs of amaurotum -- Beyond the flaming walls of the world -- Conclusion: a map of the pyrenees. 650 0 $a Space and time in literature. 650 0 $a Geographical perception in literature. 650 0 $a Space perception in literature. 650 0 $a Geography and literature. 650 7 $a Geographical perception in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940463 650 7 $a Geography and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01763929 650 7 $a Space and time in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127645 650 7 $a Space perception in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904754 776 08 $i Online version: $a Tally, Robert T., Jr. $t Topophrenia. $d Bloomington, Indiana : Indiana University Press, [2018] $z 9780253037695 $w (DLC) 2018058943 830 0 $a Spatial humanities (Indiana University Press) 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013740.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191121022906.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6D40D823F1711E98434DF6697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
