This collaborative volume focuses on imagined geography and the
relationships among power, knowledge, and space. A sequel to
Imperial Geographies in Byzantine and Ottoman Space, Imagined
Geographies in the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Beyond shares
with its predecessor a strong focus on the role of empire and ideas
of space viewed in inter-regional and interdisciplinary terms. Both
volumes bring together specialists on history, art history,
literature, and theater studies, but the present volume covers an
even wider geography than the first. In addition to the core
provinces of Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire in the eastern
Mediterranean and Middle East, it also includes connections between
these regions and others further away—notably Iran, Inner Asia,
and the Indian Ocean. The essays collected here suggest that the
phenomenon of imagined geographies is essentially discursive in
nature, since Self and Other may only be defined relative to one
another.
