By sensing the fundamental ideas of earth and the earth-thought,
this collection seeks to negotiate with and react to the underlying
semasiological or psycho-geographical principle of geopoetics that
cuts across varied and at times conflicting schools. From reading
some geopoetical texts to understanding the idea of earth in
Humboldt and Marx-Engels, topolitics in Tintin, reef-thinking,
geopoet(h)ics and Asiabodh, the volume tries to perceive how we
poetically exist with the earth. Isn't literature, taking a cue
from Hölderlin, a symptom of the way "man lives poetically on the
earth"? How is our body and psyche integral parts of the
earth-thought? How does literature deal with the concepts of space
and place? How literature enables us to comprehend the underlying
principle of geopoetics -- the principle of finding art in earth?
These are some of the critical questions which this volume seeks to
explore. Literature exemplifies a geographical consciousness - an
"intimate and subjective" experience of the earth. This book is an
attempt to conceive this eclectic infusion of art and earth, so
that we are able to ensure that the world of the art always remains
in touch with the earth of the world. Let us, through this book,
un-earth this deep-rooted spatiality and geographicality in
literature. Let us imitate earth through art, as this is the only
place where we can live.
