THE EXERCISE OF THE SPATIAL IMAGINATION IN PRE-...

This volume is distinctive for its extraordinarily interdisciplinary investigations into a
little discussed topic  the spatial imagination. It probes the exercise of the spatial
imagination in pre-modern China across five general areas: pictorial representation  literary
description  cartographic mappings  and the intertwining of heavenly and earthly space. It
recommends that the spatial imagination in the pre-modern world cannot adequately be captured
using a linear  militarily framed conceptualization. The scope and varying perspectives on the
spatial imagination analyzed in the volume's essays reveal a complex range of aspects that
informs how space was designed and utilized. Due to the complexity and advanced scholarly level
of the papers  the primary readership will be other scholars and advanced graduate students in
history  history of science  geography  art history  religious studies  literature  and 
broadly  sinology.
