Islands in Geography, Law, and Literature - A Cross-Disciplinary Journey (Hardcover)

This collection explores the heterogeneous places we have traditionally been taught to term 'islands.' It stages a conversation on the very idea of 'island-ness', thus contributing to a new field of research at the crossroads of law, geography, literature, urban planning, politics, arts, and cultural studies. The contributions to this volume discuss the notion of island-ness as a device triggering the imagination, triggering narratives and representations in different creative fields; they explore the interactions between legal, socio-political, and fictional approaches to remoteness and the 'state of insularity,' policy responses to both remoteness and boundaries on different scales, and the insular legal framing of geographical remoteness. The product of a cross-disciplinary exchange on islands, this edited volume will be of great interest to those working in the fields of Island Studies, as well as literary studies scholars, geographers, and legal scholars.
