Cultural Mapping and the Digital Sphere : Place and Space

"Notwithstanding their differing approaches―digital, archival, historical, iterative, critical, creative, reflective―the essays gathered here articulate new ways of seeing, investigating, and apprehending literature and culture." – From the Preface

This collection of essays enriches digital humanities research by examining various Canadian cultural works and the advances in technologies that facilitate these interdisciplinary collaborations. Fourteen essays―eleven in English and three in French―survey the helix of place and space. Contributors to Part I chart new archival and storytelling methodologies, while those in Part II venture forth to explore specific cultural and literary texts. Cultural Mapping and the Digital Sphere will serve as an indispensable road map for researchers and those interested in the digital humanities, women’s writing, and Canadian culture and literature. Foreword by Susan Brown and Mary-Jo Romaniuk.
