Book Synopsis

Bordo and Fitzpatrick coin the term critical topography to describe how thought and symbolic forms invent place through text and image. International in scope, Canadian in spirit, and grounded in singular sites, Place Matters presents critical topography as an approach to analyze, interpret, and reflect on place.



Trade Review

“No other volume offers such a resonant dialogue of
media, academic inquiry, and artwork. Productively framed by the notion of
critical topography, Place Matters is both creative and analytical,
wide-ranging but focused. It presents the state of the art in spatial studies
and speaks urgently to current political concerns.” Ina Habermann, University
of Basel and author of Myth, Memory and the Middlebrow: Priestley, du
Maurier and the Symbolic Form of Englishness
