This collective volume explores questions of space in contemporary
literary texts from a range of theoretical perspectives. In
addition to mapping the "spatial turn" in literary and cultural
studies, this volume also brings together studies that apply
spatial theory to the analysis of literary texts. Contributors
tackle a broad range of themes, including how prose fiction
addresses spaces of intimacy, abjection, espionage, discipline,
madness, post-human identities, post-communist cities, the
architecture of dystopia, and coercive medical practices. In turn,
these themes open up analysis to key areas within contemporary
literary and cultural criticism, including the study of sexuality,
politics, power, and identity; the configuration of urban,
regional, and national spaces and borders; and the delineation of
private and public domains. The contributors reflect on diverse
authors from English-speaking cultures and focus on a variety of
genres and periods while acknowledging recent research in space
studies and offering original contributions to what has now become
a thriving field.
