Spatiality and Symbolic Expression: On the Links between Place and Culture

Exploring the links between concepts of space and place, Spatiality and Symbolic Expression focuses on the ways in which cultural expression occurs. With a view to identifying commonalities, chapters examine four key facets of an emerging framework and analyze language, literature, translation, pedagogy, film, music, art and the use of iconic imagery in nation-building projects. Contributing to an on-going conversation, these essays aim to offer a greater sense of how symbolic expression and cultural production rely on spatial realities to achieve their ends.
