- "Geography is most obviously understood as the establishment of spatial order to make space comprehensible, navigable, and susceptible to representation. Such representation comes in various forms, such as maps, written descriptions, poems, paintings, and legal documents. This book explores the argument that the representation of space can only fully be understood by reference to elements of disorder and dislocation. Classical geography was filled with lacunae, contradictions, and uncertainties, but also had the capacity for dextrous play; the medieval reception of this unstable geography was thoughtful and creative. Geographies of dislocation are not only experienced historically but also given imaginative expression in artistic movements such as Borgesian fiction. While past spatial orders may be relegated to obscurity, they just as often linger--in archives, in memories, in ruins--to be retrieved and reanimated in surprising and revealing ways."--
