A Place More Void takes its name from a scene in William
Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, wherein an elderly
soothsayer has a final chance to warn Caesar about the Ides of
March. Worried that he won't be able to deliver his message because
of the crowded alleyways, the soothsayer devises a plan to find and
intercept Caesar in "a place more void." It is precisely such an
elusive place that this volume makes space for by theorizing and
empirically exploring the many yet widely neglected ways in which
the void permeates geographical thinking. This collection presents
geography's most in-depth and sustained engagements with the void
to date, demonstrating the extent to which related themes such as
gaps, cracks, lacks, and emptiness perforate geography's
fundamental concepts, practices, and passions. Arranged in four
parts around the themes of Holes, Absences, Edges, and Voids, the
contributions demonstrate the fecundity of the void for thinking
across a wide range of phenomena: from archives to alien
abductions, caves to cryptids, and vortexes to vanishing points. A
Place More Void gathers established and emerging scholars who
engage a wide range of geographical issues and who express
themselves not only through archival, literary, and
socio-scientific investigations, but also through social and
spatial theory, political manifesto, poetry, and performance art.
