Description

Using place studies within a postcolonial context, Literature's Sensuous Geographies explores the sense-aesthetic dimensions, such as smell and sound, in literature.

Moslund uses "sensuous geographies" to open up other than discursive relations to the world.

In close-readings of Conrad, Blixen, Coetzee and Achebe, among others, this book challenges the rationalizing logic of modernity and shifts the field of postcolonial studies and geocriticism from discourse analysis to aesthetic analysis.
