Klappentext zu „Geographia Literaria: Studies in Earth, Ethics, and Literature “
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.

Pressezitat
"As the global climate crisis accelerates, Geographia Literaria challenges us to rethink what it means to engage in geography - literally 'Earth writing'. This innovative collection of provocative essays creates a space where art and the world can meet anew, encouraging all of us to become more fully committed Earthians."-Douglas Vakoch, Professor Emeritus, California Institute of Integral Studies
