The Spatial Turn in the Literature and Art of Early Modern Spain investigates novel and transformative ways in which writers and artists of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain conceived of space through the lens of what recent studies have called the spatial turn.
With an emphasis on the production of space, as proposed by Henri Lefebvre, Michel de Certeau, and Yi-Fu Tuan, the essays in this volume explore space as a cultural construct, produced within a dynamic sphere of human interaction, performance, inquiry, and experience in a variety of public and private settings. New readings of specific texts and works of art engage mythological soundscapes, spaces of the sublime, monastic spaces of introspection, encyclopedias as spaces for memorializing old and new knowledge, and spaces of performance at public theatres and at court. In urban micro-spaces, the readers will encounter geotagging in Seville, surveillance in Madrid, and even the Neapolitan Our Lady of the Arch.
