In its dense and playful disposition of islandological lexemes, examples, paradigms, facts, language games, the book is a voracious post modernist cosmography. Shell, a cosmographer for the Internet era, exposes a poignant transcendental restlessness in his conceptual and literary mappings of the island in the imaginary of modernity. Such a generous study in critical topography belongs alongside Lefebvre, Serres and Yi-Fu Tuan in creating new horizons for the study of place and landscape across many fields and disciplines.\" -- Jonathan Bordo\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eIslandology\u003c\/i\u003e is one of those rare works that perfectly reflects its object of study. Instead of being a contribution to a particular field of research, it is an island of scholarship that allows us to chart submerged connections among such fields as cultural geography, literary analysis, and socio-political inquiry.\" -- Peter Fenves","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405611868503,"sku":"9780804786294","price":30.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804786294.jpg?v=1730492994","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/islandology-9780804786294","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
