CALL FOR PAPERS

Spatial Studies: Maps and Territories

Edited by Lisa Blansett and Matthew Edney

_Spatial Studies: Maps and Territories_ seeks contributors from the humanities and social sciences for an interdisciplinary collection of essays engaging the cultural discourses of geography, cartography, science, art, and literature; a major university publisher has expressed interest in this project. The collection will focus on "pre-modern," "early modern," and modern conceptions and configurations of space represented in a variety of social and cultural productions.

Scholars from the arts, geography, history, literature, should send 500 word proposals that treat the topic of how space is culturally and historically represented

by 30 January 1998.

Writers of the fifteen accepted proposals will be notified by 30 April whether they should send a completed essay of approximately 7,000 words to the editors. Because of the nature of the collection, illustrations should be included where appropriate, but should be read as part of the text rather than offered as supplementary illustration. Writers will be responsible for obtaining permissions at this stage.

Proposals (and essays) will be chosen according to how well they fit the interdiciplinary focus of our collection; their quality of presentation; and how well they work in the context of other essays as well as with the overall goals of the publication.

Lisa Blansett is assistant professor of English at Florida International University. Her book project "Cartographies: British Fiction and Mapping, 1700-1817" is being revised for publication.

Matthew Edney is associate professor of Geography-Anthropology; American and New England Studies; and faculty scholar, Osher Map Library, at the University of Southern Maine. His book Mapping an Empire was recently published by University of Chicago Press.
