This edited volume explores areas of research in critical spatial thinking that impact understanding of space, place, and time in a world undergoing rapid change, focusing on American literature and culture. Based on theories that have evolved following the spatial turn (Foucault, Harvey, Soja, Lefebvre, Jameson) and the spatial and geocritical approaches recently developed by Bertrand Westphal and Robert Tally Jr., this volume gathers contributions by young scholars and academics looking at real and imaginary spaces in literature, art, architecture, and digital humanities. By considering space and its real and imaginary representations in cartography and the arts, as well as looking at real and imaginary mapping and remapping in literature and culture, the volume offers new insights into space and place.
