Using place studies within a postcolonial context, this study explores the sense-aesthetic dimensions in literature such as smell, sound, etc. that often challenge the rationalizing logic of modernity. Through close readings of writers such as Conrad and Coetzee, Moslund invites scholars to shift focus from discourse analysis to aesthetic analysis.
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.
